from Happy Place

In this conversation, Rina explores the concept of intimacy as a skill that can be trained rather than merely a reaction to stress or loneliness. She discusses the societal tendency towards consumption in intimacy, the importance of education in fostering deeper connections, and the evolving role of intimacy workers. Rina emphasizes the need for a shift from quick fixes to meaningful relationships, highlighting the significance of understanding one's own needs and the impact of the nervous system on intimacy. The conversation also touches on empowering women in the realm of intimacy and the transformative potential of intimate experiences.00:00 Redefining Intimacy: Beyond Consumerism07:25 The Shift from Transaction to Depth in Intimacy11:33 The Role of True Intimacy in Personal Growth18:56 The Evolution of Intimacy Workers and Education24:47 From Consumption to Creation: A New Paradigm30:46 Empowering Women: The Shift in Intimacy Services34:39 Nervous System Health: The Foundation of IntimacyRina is a shibari artist, tantric bodyworker, former Dominatrix, and extreme sports athlete, learner of ancient traditions and intrepid explorer of consciousness.
