(staying fully present) How well do you love yourself? Full-body somatic awareness, emotional awareness and fully loving the experience of being alive in your body. 13:11 - Superpower #2: Trusting the Intelligence of Your Body Dropping out of the mind and into physical sensation, allowing slow presence, breath, and natural somatic responses to guide pleasure. 25:06 - Superpower #3: Surrendering into the ecstasy of the moment In ecstatic states it's undeniable that this universe is made of something bigger than yourself and that you contain that same magic and life force and so does everyone else. When people know that, they are not easily controlled or silenced. 34:18 - Superpower #4: Expand your capacity for intensity It means being able to hold the full sensory vulnerability of being human and in relationship with other equally vulnerable humans. 44:00 - Superpower #5: Feeling Desire without abandoning yourself Knowing/feeling what you desire and remaining fully open to the experience. Being a channel of presence inside your own body where the outcome of getting what you desire doesn't change your wholeness.

Bio
Regena Thomashauer, better known as Mama Gena, is a pioneering voice in women's empowerment, a bestselling author, teacher, feminist icon, and the founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement.
For more than three decades, Regena has devoted her work to restoring what has been systematically stripped from women: our connection to the body, our desires, our emotional lives, and our right to want more. At the heart of her teaching is a radical truth: pleasure is a form of power. And when a woman is fully expressed – in her body, her desires, her voice – she moves differently. She tolerates less and expects more. The stakes of her life become visible, and she responds accordingly.
This work is rooted in lived experience, decades of research, and the real-world results of hundreds of thousands of students. It has changed the way women relate to themselves, the standards they hold, and the lives they are willing to claim. Regena is the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Pussy: A Reclamation, and has been widely recognized as a leading voice in modern feminism.
Regena's approach is both deeply personal and unmistakably collective. In a culture that shames our bodies and suppresses our emotions, her work serves as a vital antidote that offers not only tools for survival, but a pathway to turn-on, truth, and full-bodied liberation. Her conviction: that the feminine, long suppressed, is the force that will change everything. These teachings don't just challenge the status quo. They transform it.

Bio
Kimberly Phoenix-Coffin is a trauma-informed intimacy, relationship, and Tantra teacher, speaker, co-author, and coach, co-founder of Phoenix Rising Retreats, and host of the Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples podcast.
After decades of disconnection shaped by trauma, self-doubt, and survival-based relating, Kim devoted the last decade to deep healing. embodiment, and the reclamation of her body, truth, and life through extensive work with Layla Martin, Mama Gena, Ma Ananda Sarita, and other world-renowned teachers.
Her work blends Tantra, nervous system awareness, and somatic, embodiment-based practices, rooted in lived, personal experience. Her story is a journey from numbness to pleasure, from self-doubt to sovereignty, and from disconnection and survival-based relating into a deeply connected, consciously chosen partnership rooted in truth, communication, and erotic aliveness.
She brings this work not as theory, but as something she lives daily… in her body, her relationship, her choices, and her leadership.
Now, at 50 years old, she lives and teaches what she embodies… guiding individuals and couples into deeper intimacy, honest communication, and full-spectrum aliveness.
Together with her partner Roberto, she leads immersive Tantra couples retreats in North Kawartha, Ontario, Canada, designed to reignite the flame that date nights can't… where connection, safety, and erotic aliveness meet. Their work supports couples in rebuilding trust, deepening connection, and awakening erotic intimacy that is both grounded and expansive.

The one book Devah says every man should be reading
Bio
Devah Curlechéile is a sex, intimacy, and sensual embodiment guide whose journey began in Ireland.
Raised Catholic, he felt from an early age that life held far more than what he had been shown. After graduating with a degree in Neuroscience from Trinity College Dublin, he left Ireland at 25 and began a decades long global quest to explore the deeper mysteries of human potential, consciousness, energy, and healing.
Over 20 years of travel and study, Devah immersed himself in a range of practices, including Reiki, Sound Healing, Tantra, meditation, shamanic medicine, conscious intimacy, EFT, and tantra massage. His path was shaped by various initiations, including breaking his back twice, navigating depression, sitting with large doses of the various Entheogen's, integrating suppressed parts of himself through transformative experiences in Tokyo's conscious kink underground, and studying tantra and tantra massage in Bali with Ma Ananda Sarita.
Along the way, he also discovered the extraordinary potential of intimate connection with himself and others to open transcendent states of consciousness, cosmic orgasm, and deep embodied awakening.
Now based on Kauai, Devah feels deeply called to help others reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, awaken their senses, and access greater intimacy, healing, and expansion. Known for his compassionate heart, grounded presence, and nurturing approach, he creates spaces where people can feel safe, seen, and held in reverence as they explore, rediscover, and remember these pleasurable dimensions of embodiment.

Talaina is a sexual liberation guide and relationship coach who helps individuals and couples move beyond shame and shutdown into their deepest capacity for pleasure, intimacy, and authentic connection.
She transformed her own loving, but nearly sexless, marriage into a deeply connected, thriving relationship that is now a powerhouse of intimacy, emotional depth, erotic vitality, and orgasmic bliss.
By unraveling layers of repression shaped by religious conditioning, family dynamics, and societal messaging, she reclaimed her body, her desire, her voice – and ultimately, her life.
Now, she guides others into intimacy that is fully expressed, deeply connected, and truly alive. Talaina's work integrates nervous system regulation, advanced biofeedback technology, erotic awakening, and spiritual growth to create profound, lasting transformation.
She believes a liberated life is what happens the moment you stop abandoning your truth… and start living it fully and freely.

Bio
Regena Thomashauer, better known as Mama Gena, is a pioneering voice in women's empowerment, a bestselling author, teacher, feminist icon, and the founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement.
For more than three decades, Regena has devoted her work to restoring what has been systematically stripped from women: our connection to the body, our desires, our emotional lives, and our right to want more. At the heart of her teaching is a radical truth: pleasure is a form of power. And when a woman is fully expressed – in her body, her desires, her voice – she moves differently. She tolerates less and expects more. The stakes of her life become visible, and she responds accordingly.
This work is rooted in lived experience, decades of research, and the real-world results of hundreds of thousands of students. It has changed the way women relate to themselves, the standards they hold, and the lives they are willing to claim. Regena is the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Pussy: A Reclamation, and has been widely recognized as a leading voice in modern feminism.
Regena's approach is both deeply personal and unmistakably collective. In a culture that shames our bodies and suppresses our emotions, her work serves as a vital antidote that offers not only tools for survival, but a pathway to turn-on, truth, and full-bodied liberation. Her conviction: that the feminine, long suppressed, is the force that will change everything. These teachings don't just challenge the status quo. They transform it.

Diana Richardson is widely regarded as a leading contemporary authority on human sexuality and conscious intimacy. A bestselling author on Tantra, her work centers on the union of sex and meditation, and on practical ways this sacred connection can transform intimate life. After completing a law degree, she became a disciple of the Indian mystic Osho in 1979, initiating a lifelong exploration of sexuality, love, and meditative awareness, further influenced by the teachings of Barry Long. Integrating these influences through lived experience, Diana developed Generative Sex, also known as Cool Sex, an evolutionary and sustainable approach to intimacy. This distilled wisdom is shared through her practical Love Keys, presented in her bestselling book, The Heart of Tantric Sex. For over 30 years, Diana has guided more than 15,000 couples in week-long residential retreats in Switzerland, and she is now launching a Rekindle online course based on these highly successful live retreats.

The author of four books, including the recent New York Times bestseller Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship, Terry knows how to lead people on a step-by-step journey to greater intimacy and personal fulfillment.

A former senior faculty member of the Family Institute of Cambridge in Massachusetts and a retired Clinical Fellow of the Meadows Institute in Arizona, Terry has worked with thousands of individuals, couples and fellow therapists. His extraordinary ability to save couples on the brink of divorce garnered Terry the reputation of "the turnaround guy," and demand from other therapists to learn his RLT method skyrocketed.

To date, thousands of mental health practitioners have benefited from a whole new perspective on couples therapy that has transformed their clients, their practice and their own relationships.
