I’ll admit it: the first time I was in a room with 900 naked women was a shocking experience. I was shocked because I was in a room of 900 naked women. But that was only a fraction of what peeled my eyes open. As I gazed upon the cornucopia of bodies – different ages,...

Bury me
If you want to know me, as you say that you do, then follow me into the deep, dark wood. Find me resting in the spongy, loamy soil. That place where your feet will practically bounce on the beds of three hundred generations of leaves. You will wonder if you...
A Room of My Own
(listen to the audio version) I want to thank my husband, Robin, for teaching me the most valuable lesson I’ve ever learned about the need for space in relationships. Like all valuable lessons, I learned this one the hard way. When he moved out of our shared bedroom...
When to Say Yes
When it hits your body like a wave crashing against the shore. When you finally step out of the fog. When you can barely hold yourself in your seat the moment you see it. When the butterflies making a home in your belly dissolve like vapor in the sun. When it feels...

On Self-Pleasure and Being Your First Relationship
(listen to the audio version) Some big things happened when I found myself in a circle of strangers all engaged in group masturbation. Not the least of which was the shocking realization that I should center any sexuality I offer to another person from my own...
October Awake: This is How I Love
Welcome to Awake, a workshop on embodied intuition. This month's question, in a month about relationships is this: How have you loved? It's an important question. Given humans' biological need for one another -- and the pain this reality causes us -- it is perhaps the...
Your Perfect Broken Heart
I want your broken heart. I want the scar tissue and sutures. I want the bleeding and infested wounds, covered in scabs and bandages. Show me how they hurt you. Then show me how you rose up anyway. Tell me about the first day you realized you were going to make it....
The Wisdom of Relationships
(listen to the audio version) A simple truth about humans – our bodies need other bodies. We need each other to be seen/to see. To be held/to hold. To be received/to receive. Relationships are the blood and heartbeat of life. But they are also the rope, the concrete...
