In this conversation, Dr. Lisette Ostrander and I explore the intricate relationship between feminine wisdom, sexuality, and pleasure. We also talk about the cultural narratives surrounding women's sexuality, the importance of creating safe spaces for exploration, and the need to reclaim pleasure as a vital aspect of life.

Key Takeaways:

* Feminine power includes the ability to celebrate and sustain life, along with the ability to access deep wisdom found within the body

* Cultural structures have historically excluded women's input on power

* Embodied wisdom teaches us about pleasure and connection.

* Sex and pleasure are integral to understanding feminine wisdom.

* Cultural narratives often vilify women's sexuality and pleasure and have done so for a great deal of recorded history.

* Creating safe spaces is essential for exploring sexuality.

* Eroticism is about seeking pleasure for its own sake.

* Life experiences significantly impact sexual experiences.

* Women often face challenges related to desire and intimacy.

* Self-exploration and understanding one's body are crucial for empowerment.
