Reclaiming Your Erotic Innocence/ The Path to Sexual...

The Vital Goddess ·

2025/10/24

What is erotic innocence? And how do you reclaim it for yourself? It's quite clear that society has an Eros problem. I don't have to tell you that. The layers of dysfunction and abuse that abounds worldwide is beyond disturbing. It can easily leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless. What's the antidote? Here's my take on it: One of the most radical, revolutionary and world changing things we can do as women is to consciously reclaim our erotic innocence. Our Eros is our creative life...

The Vital Goddess ·

2025/10/17

You are a powerful Creatrix my love. Part of you knows that. And I bet part of you has forgotten. One of the most beautiful things about awakening your feminine essence is that you begin to remember. You begin to shed much of the conditioning that's been scripting your life. And awaken an innate inner knowing of who you truly are and why you're really here. You come home to yourself. What you may not be aware of is how important pleasure is in the equation. You didn't come here to play wack a...

The creative, love force power you hold within you as a woman is immense. It's the stuff that creates worlds. The stuff that can ignite your life and change your world.

This essence is your personal expression of Venus/Aphrodite; Goddess of Love. Very few woman have discovered how to awaken this power and embody it. If I had to break down t...

How to Harness the Creative Power of Your Desire

The Vital Goddess ·

2025/10/03

Getting right with desire is a master key in reclaiming your feminine power. One of the golden keys to your Queendom. And yet, for many valid reasons, most women have a very dysfunctional relationship with desire. Twenty years ago I did as well. To be clear on what you want and to feel good about what you want can feel scary and daunting, I get it. We've had truckloads of conditioning on desire which can show up as massive resistance. What I've come to know is that desire is sacre...

2025/09/19

I know most folks yearn for deep intimacy and lasting love in relationships. And deep inside we have a hunch that's it's possible. But how do we make that happen? Modern love is a challenge to say the least. The current state of intimacy in most long-term relationships is not what most couples dreamed it would be. It's so easy to feel like you've lost the plot on love. It's so easy to feel like you're the problem. But what if that's simply not the case? What if there was a new model of approa...

2025/09/12

Are you ready to move beyond the Kegel? I was. About 20 years ago I had some serious issues going on with my pelvis and pelvic floor. One of those issues was sciatica. I'd have these bouts of crippling pain that would land me on my back for days. At the time I was a Pilates teacher and Yoga teacher and the tools I was teaching gave me no relief. The Kegel wasn't working either. What did help and eventually open up a whole new way of being in my body was sensual movement. In ...

Tantra is a journey of expansion. The universe expanding through you. Your cells want to dance with your every breath. And yet there are many very valid reasons why that dance isn't always happening. Stored trauma, tension, limiting beliefs & emotional content can keep our cells in lockdown, armored up, protective. Through intelligent use of breathwork we can gently & gracefully expand into being more fully alive and freely expressed. Breathwork is powerful medicine and it...

The Art of Pussification aka Goddess Feng Shui

2025/08/22

What is the Art of Pussification? Well, I think this quote from the woman who first introduced me to this brilliant practice says it beautifully: “Pussification is an act of making your outer circumstance good for your inner circumstance or good for your pussy. Make it so it feels good to your pussy and your life is gonna shine.” -Regena Thomashauer aka Mama Gena I like to think of Pussification as Goddess Feng Shui. The practice of creating harmony and beauty in my space so that it fee...

The Five Flavors of Female Orgasm & How to Taste Them

The Vital Goddess ·

2025/07/25

As a Tantra teacher I'm often asked about the different types of female orgasm and how to experience them. It's one of my favorite topics to talk about. There's a lot to discuss. Most women feel frustrated with their orgasmic experiences or lack thereof. In view of the conventional take on all things sexual, that makes complete sense. The model we've been given is severely flawed. It will never lead a woman to her full natural orgasmic expression. To truly experience what's possible we...

How Your Curiosity Unleashes Your Pleasure

The Vital Goddess ·

2025/07/04

As Venus enters the sign of Gemini today it's a beautiful invitation to explore one of my favorite Gemini qualities: curiosity. Curiosity and sensuality go hand in hand. We all know the saying "Curiosity killed the cat." I want to offer a reframe on that: "Curiosity awakens the pussy." To be curious is to be open, present and in flow. It requires self trust and trust in life. To be curious is to be willing to explore what feels good and nourishing. And to pass on what doesn't. When our curios...

What is Tantra? The Art of Making Love

The Vital Goddess ·

2025/06/20

The word Tantra can evoke a lot of different images. It can seem exotic, esoteric, edgy, otherworldly. There are a lot of conflicting messages that make it seem pretty complicated. But my understanding of Tantra is quite simple. Tantra is the awakening and expansion of the love that you are. The art of embodying your love. It's not something you need to seek or strive for. It's in you. Tantra is the practice of remembering that you are love. The practice of locating that love in your bo...
