Hi everyone, I’m Leslie. I’m the founder of The Gospel of Pleasure. My work has two main currents: One is trauma healing through a practice I teach called Inquiry Meditation. a body-based way of meeting yourself and your pain that begins healing on contact. The other is the sensuality side — helping people come back into aliveness, pleasure, and the full range of feeling in a way that’s grounded and real. For me, those two aren’t separate. Healing and pleasure are part of the same movement. I’m also a novelist! Happy to be here and meet you all.
