Masturbation as Prayer
Masturbation is a way of thanking the universe for having a body. A possible misfortune of the movement towards 'conscious' sexuality is that it polarises us even more into 'sacred' and 'non-sacred' forms of sexual expression. There is no such thing. There is only a...
On Showing Off
On showing off... What is the difference between showing off, self-expression or art? What is ego-masturbation and what is pure, creative expression of spirit? Is it either or? And who gets to decide? To celebrate ourselves and allow our inner worlds to become...
On shaming men’s desire
I know that sexual shaming is rampant universally, but through my work I often come into contact with how women - feeling threatened by male desire - so often shame men, sometimes overtly, but often unconsciously. I know many of us have been victims to men’s desire...
On suffering
There is nothing quite like suffering as a catalyst for climbing the ladder of perspective. Up and up, each rung a slightly more whole picture, a little more Truth. Each step, you realise you feel a little freer. Every time you pause and take a breath and realise you...
Cyclical Living (from a recovering intensity junky)
In this era of abundance of and easy access to intense experiences, there seems to be the tendency to try and cram in as much as possible. Entertainment, festivals, self-development workshops, plant medicine rituals, erotic encounters…we are intensity junkies, our...

To give and receive is one the most fundamental energetic movements of life. Every breath we take contains this wisdom. And like all the most profound things in life, there lies a paradox - that in its full beauty and potential, by deeply giving we can receive, and by...
What is Strength?
What is strength? I am being spanked so hard by life right now, so magnificently confronted with what feels like every single limiting belief I have around what it is to be strong. Lovingly yet firmly guided, to see that anything other than truly walking my talk is no...
Day 18
Yesterday afternoon my energy dropped so hard and fast it felt like an energetic collapse... I lay on the sofa feeling listless and flat - tell-tail signs of a drop in oestrogen as I move into the midst of the second half of my cycle. Feeling into the layers of what...

When I was younger, I used to think that the way we free ourselves from the repression of our sexuality was to reduce sex until it became meaningless, to have no boundaries, because boundaries meant shame and shame was bad. It took me hanging out at a porn shoot in...
