Shamanic Sexuality & Sacred Sex Ed w/ Pleasure Priestess Leola
I’m so happy you let yourself get curious about this episode’s title! You’ll see just how important curiosity is as you drop into this really juicy, deeply liberating, super needed conversation.
Because Fire & Soul is a sacred sanctuary to awaken to every area, every dimension, every portal so let's dive in.
Today we’re exploring shamanic sexuality and sacred sex ed so we can begin to heal this collective shame we’re carrying around our sexuality, our sensuality, and our bodies.
Our guide is Pleasure Priestess, Leola Watkins, and the story of how we arrived here is one of absolute divine timing and intervention! It’s a shame that so much of this wisdom has been taboo and we've been in secrecy or hiding—many of us not even knowing how to relate to our bodies. But that ends today with this beautiful conversation.
It may be an awakening. It may be more of a remembrance.
Whatever brought you to this conversation, my hope is that you allow that curiosity to continue to fuel you into some sort of inspired action so you come home to your body, your heart, your intuition, your light and dark feminine.
Though this conversation touched on many things and had some beautiful weavings, there's a lovely through line of liberation. Part of spiritual awakening is awakening to all aspects of ourselves and to be embodied from that holistic point of view so we can step back into—and fully reclaim—our divine power. This conversation is a beautiful introduction to that.
Meet: Leola Watkins
Leola is a Sacred Intimacy Mentor & Muse, inspiring others to see an integration of sexuality and spirituality. She guides individuals and couples in discovering how life-force energy moves in the body; and more importantly, how to harness this inner-power for a pleasure-filled life that begins with our most intimate relationships and extends to our livelihood and our worldview.
In her early 20s, Leola discovered tantra and shamanic sexuality as modalities to heal her relationship to her body, process past sexual assault, and create a life she loves. She is now dedicated to guiding others to be turned on by life itself.
