In this episode, I am joined by Lorna, an Elder, Somatic Sexuality and Spirituality Mentor and Story Unweaver who helps people experience sexual freedom and spiritual wholeness. She is a poet, writer, and “story unweaver” in the spiritual, erotic realm where divine feminine energy and sacred masculine form reflect Spirit in the human experience. After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years, followed by a 12-year career as an educator in the school system, Lorna turned her focus to wellness for herself and then as a teacher of energy medicine, bodywork, somatic sex education, and Bondassage. Through their work with Lorna, people are coming home to themselves, Sexually and spiritually. Lorna’s mission in the world is to support people in living erotically alive, sexually free and spiritually whole, beyond shame, guilt, sin, permission, outer authority, or the illusion of separation, and with the divine feminine and masculine experienced in harmony within and without.
Today, Lorna shares her journey of reconnecting with her sexuality after being raised in a religious household. She discusses the importance of consent, self-pleasure, and honoring one's desires. We also explore the impact of patriarchal and cultural conditioning on women's sexuality and the need for unlearning harmful beliefs.

• There's nothing wrong with them; there's nothing shameful about their desires, interests, and curiosities across the whole spectrum of what they might want to do.
• No matter where they are sexually, no matter how much they're connected or disconnected from their bodies or sexuality, number one, there's nothing wrong with them.
• There's nothing wrong about I should be, you know, letting my partner touch me. It's kind of like, no, but can you be your own best lover.
• I just really invite women to take pleasure in their sensations and their sensuality and really come back home to that place of love for themselves.
• Women can truly honour themselves and know their power, their sexuality, and their divine leadership. It's almost become as they do their inner work and really keep going against those things we've been taught, take care of everybody else, all of that they can really honor themselves.
