Season 3 Episode 6 River: Sexuality and Creativity Are The Source of Life

In this episode of the SISU Journey podcast, River Drosera gets into the intersection of creativity and sexuality as the source of life. River shares how they discovered healing, purpose, and freedom through creativity. They also introduce how sexuality comes into play with creativity. You’d be surprised to know how needed this knowledge is in today’s society. Stay tuned! Here are the things to expect in this episode: There’s no one-size-fits-all to healing! Why are most people discouraged from pursuing art as a career? The effect of growing up in an environment where sex isn’t taboo. What is sexological bodywork? What could you get from it? Art is expression. There’s no one way to go about it! And much more!   About River Drosera: Pronouns: They/Them River is an SSEA Certified Somatic Sex Educator, IASHS Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Tension and Trauma Release Exercises practitioner and currently studying Neuro Affective Touch. They have a private practice on Nisenan territory, or so-called Sacramento, CA. Their work is dedicated to supporting the re-integration of the erotic body after trauma with scar tissue remediation, body-centered practices, and the discharging of stuck emotions and chronic tension held in the tissues of the body. River creates a non-judgemental and safe space for queer, trans, non-binary folx, and women to explore their boundaries, desires, and pleasure at their own pace.  River is also the creator of The Erotic Arts Project, an online and in-person community project that celebrates the creative and erotic body for all people. They believe that celebrating our bodies and desires gives us the freedom to lovingly and joyfully meander around the glorious depths of our erotic and creative worlds.   Website: https://riverdrosera.life/ The Erotic Arts Project: https://theeroticartsproject.life/           -   Thank you for listening to SISU Journey, where we are helping the world heal the curse of separateness by telling diverse stories of those whose voices have felt silenced.
