Happy Place

By: Rina Trevi
  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Happy Place podcast, where we’re going to discover the essence of lasting satisfaction in life. I'm your host, Rina, and, together, we'll explore the elusive concept of happiness. Professionally I’m known as a shibari artist, tantric bodyworker, former professional Domme, extreme sports athlete - I call myself a Vulnerability guide - I create safe spaces for healing, self-discovery and spiritual explorations. I first encountered the term Happy Place while pursuing freediving. Freedivers find peace amidst the ocean's immense pressure by envisioning a tranquil sanctuary. By incorporating our Happy Place into our everyday lives, we too can celebrate the gift of being alive. What is your happy place? Is it an internal state, a product of external circumstances, or a delicate balance of both? Let’s challenge the status quo and venture beyond the conventional understanding of happiness. Join me and my guests as we uncover the secrets behind courageously embracing our search for lasting happiness to create extraordinary lives full of experiences and explorations to be proud of! This is a journey through spirituality, extreme sports, BDSM, and psychedelics, uncovering paths to true happiness. Get ready to be inspired and transformed as we unravel the mysteries of the Happy Place.

  • Ep. 34 Accountability in the Spotlight: from Stealing to Healing, from Rupture to Repair. Vulnerable conversation with Artemisia de Vine.
    May 15 2024

    This episode is about when Rina Trevi plagiarised Artemisia de Vine's work - and how even a rupture like this can be repaired in ways that benefit everyone involved. It is not often that you get to listen in on a conversation between the person who plagiarized and the person whose work was stolen! There is a lot to learn about the complexity of human nature, owning our shadows and how to genuinely repair a relationship.

    Rina shares her soul searching and the circumstances that led her to first think that it was ok to plagerise and then change her mind and choose a different way of being that prioritised integrity and owning her shadow. Rina is brave and vulnerable as she admits what she did and takes responsibility, offering to make amends by promoting Artemisia's work.

    This episode is a raw and real discussion between Artemisia de Vine and Rina that does not shame or blame. Artemisia talks about the real impacts of plagiarism and how she moved from anger to peace. They both move towards healing and actively supporting each others work in the future.

    The conversation highlights the importance of embracing our shadow selves and recognizing the complexity of human nature. It serves as a reminder not to idolize others and to approach difficult situations with open and honest communication.

    Honoring Each Person's Unique Contribution

    Artemisia de Vine offers a groundbreaking new theory about why we have sexual fantasies and how we can engage them to create powerful, real-life transformative sexperiences that satisfy the real desire behind the story symbolism. She is the author of upcoming book: The Spirituality of Smut: The surprising wisdom of sexual fantasies.

    She is a certified somatic sexologist, BA in anthropology and former sex worker and professional dominatrix who now teaches therapists and some of the world's leading sexperts the psychology of sexual fantasies, and how to bring them out of our heads and into our beds through embodied play - and how to use sexual fantasies to explore an array of profound erotic states of consciousness.
