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,...

The Spiritual Side of Sex

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...

Sex and the Sixth Sense
This post is part of the series called The Spiritual Side of Sex. What if proof that intuition exists can be found on any dating app? A friend texted me recently about a date he’d gone on. How was it? I asked. She was pretty, he said, but there was no chemistry. This...
Making Love, Generously
This post is part of the series called The Spiritual Side of Sex. Let’s start with a bold admission: Sex is not about you. Reading that might cause some shockwaves in your body, so let me welcome all your reactions. Whether you feel cheated out of the birthright of...
Receive the O
There’s a point when we can go so far into something that we come out the other side. That’s where I find myself with this piece. There was a time in my life when I would have written a post saying that you should chase the O. Run after it. Do everything you can to...
