So what do I mean when I say Somatic Pleasure? Honestly, I’m not trying to make it more complicated than it needs to be. For me, somatics is really about learning to notice that your body is one complete, living ecosystem. Not mind over here, body over there, emotions somewhere in the middle, and then we try to sort it all out later. Your body is taking in information all the time. Breath. Temperature. Pressure. Tension. The room you’re in. The people around you. The thing that makes your stomach tighten. The thing that makes you exhale. And pleasure is learning what brings you more aliveness, more clarity, more connection, more choice. Put them together and you get this: pay attention to sensation. Your breath. Your heartbeat. The knot in your gut. The warmth in your hands. The YES & The NO Then use that information to live better. 🔥 That’s really the mashup. Paying attention to sensation… and then learning how to work with what your body is already telling you. So I’m curious, what is your body trying to tell you lately that you may have been too busy to hear? Bonus: Try this: hold any object for 30 seconds. Feel its weight, temperature, and texture. No story. Just sensation. What did you notice?

A big day can light you up—emotion, insight, momentum, visibility, new direction. Then comes the drop. Don’t panic. Don’t make a story out of it. Learn to read the wave. This is the work: build the capacity to hold charge, recover your center, and find the gold instead of crashing into the abyss. Focus sharpens. Clarity returns. You get stronger. Where are you being asked to ride the wave instead of react to it?

This will be some presentation and mostly Q&A so that hopefully you can get your questions answered (of discover some even deeper inquiry). We'll shoot for 1 hour but I'm not putting a time limit on it. You're Welcome 😉♥️ - The Pleasure Break link here 💥 After this week of profound conversations and new presentations in the community - do you feel like you have more questions than answers⁉️ 💥 Do you feel the pull to go a little deeper⁉️ 💃🏽 Over the last 10 days or so I've started dropping long form YouTube videos into the group which has stirred a lot of beautiful conversation. ❤️‍🔥 We crossed over the hundred member mark and are now sitting at 105 members, many of whom have jumped right in and stirred even more interesting and provocative conversations. 🇨🇦🫵🏼♥️ That coupled with having done several presentations about the somatic pleasure blueprint in different communities, I thought that it was time to bring that presentation in this conversation back home so that we can all jump in. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 I have attached a clip from a session that I had with @Chanie Twersky That I think might be helpful in giving some context to my work and to what we're doing here in this particular community. Sooo many have been contributing to this conversation: @Catherine Kennedy @Rosmari Tinus @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Margaret Barr @Ossie Osmond @Gary Lang @Eva Savicki @Rena Nicole @Dana Renee @Genevieve Groppmair @Erica Gibbons @Eric Stromberger @Andréanne Brault @A.

Smell is one of the earliest senses developed in human evolution and taps right into the limbic system and excites us on a level beyond our understanding. We literally can feel a smell much like we can taste the color. This was some random thing that was sent to me and I just wanted to share it with you and have you remember and pay attention to the smell smells around you. Pay attention to the smells of the ones you love as much as to the smell of those that maybe you don’t love so much. Smell is constantly playing a song on your brain 🧠 on your nervous system, and plucking at the strings of your heart and your deepest primal urge 🦍

What does partnership culture ask of us now? Many of us already value nurturance, collaboration, listening, and feminine wisdom - and we know that these are not second class strengths. We know the world does not need more domination dressed up as leadership. But honoring the feminine has to mean more than liking softness, intuition, or pretty words about balance. It means honoring women as equals, leaders, wisdom keepers, creators, protectors, and full participants in shaping the world. It also means asking where we still avoid conflict to keep the peace, give away our voice, dismiss strength, or repeat old power dynamics without noticing. A more balanced culture needs all of us: strong enough to listen, clear enough to speak, and mature enough to share power. Where can you honor the feminine more fully—in yourself, in women, and in the way you lead?
