Our daughters are only under our roofs for a short while longer. Not because we want them to go, but because of their natural inclination towards freedom and exploration.

 

What do we want them to know about sexuality and sensuality — before they move out into the world?

What do we want them to know about sexuality and sensuality — before they move out into the world?

While sexuality is starting to be taught to women – most people are teaching material sexuality.

Few people are teaching holistic, embodied sexuality for life-long growth and exploration.

And even fewer people are teaching this AS young women are budding into their sexuality.

A lot of us as adult women are learning these concepts now – retroactively 10, 20, 50 years later of our own sexual awakening.

The intention of Innocence of Eros is...

  • So that our young women understand what advocacy, voice and autonomy for their bodies means; so that they may be sexually empowered and wield this with integrity.
  • So that we as Mothers receive the sexual education we wish we would have had growing up; this is an invitation to deepen our own erotic connection at this juncture of life.
  • To weave sexual health into each of our lineages, creating a legacy of generational wealth.

Innocence of Eros is an opportunity to....

  • Feel solidarity that our daughter’s BECOMING is being held not only by us as Mothers – but by other mature women, skilled in sexual and sensual arts.
  • Be present with the grief, the fear, the worry, the JOY — the totality of what it means to have a DAUGHTER — in community.
  • Activate and continue to evolve ourselves as women, as Mothers, so that we may support the exaltation of our respective Mother-daughter dyads.

During the teen years, we believe it is imperative our daughters learn and relate to the following layers of being an embodied woman:

  • Remaining intact with the pleasure of aliveness.
  • Learning the embodied language of consent.
  • Knowing your unique relationship to your body, to pleasure, your unique signature – being able to attune to its shifts.
  • How to explore your sweet mystery of being a Woman. Listening to the messages from your body; trusting the feedback from your body.
  • The anatomy and geography of pleasure – the physiologic design of pleasure.
  • The capacity that pleasure has to facilitate healing, growth, connection.
  • Channeling and harnessing the immense amount of energy that moves through us.

 

As Mothers, we believe it is imperative that we as women increasingly develop our capacity to learn and relate to:

  • The dynamism of giving and receiving pleasure.
  • The difference between tension based pleasure versus relaxed based pleasure.
  • The foundational prerequisites of sexual maturation.
  • Habituated orgasm to the ecstasy of orgasmicness.
  • Invitation and initiation for your partner.
  • The Valley of Yin: breath, touch, sound for the feminine nervous system.
  • Cervix Heart Coherence.

More than ever we need women to come into the fullness of their sexual power, for more beauty, for Truth, for Love.

The feminine psyche has been under attack for a long time. 

 

We can’t control what’s going on in the world – but we can impact our female sexuality and our family systems - for massive global, rippling effects.
