Reweaving Intact Relational Culture with Elani Engelken

Reweaving Intact Relational Culture with Elani Engelken

JOIN THE BIOLOGY OF LOVE -- EARLY BIRD ENROLLMENT AVAILABLE THROUGH MAY 27 // USE CODE "EARLYBIRD" [https://www.sagefemmewomb.com/thebiologyoflove] Today’s episode is a conversation with my collaborator, Elani Engelken. Elani is a depth psychotherapist and somatic healer whose work sits at the intersection of nervous system science, depth psychology, and embodied healing. She works with individuals, couples, families, and groups to explore the patterns that live beneath the surface, in the body, in the lineage, and in relationship. She is particularly drawn to the places where psychology and the sacred meet. In this episode we get into: * Why so many men and women feel disconnected, mistrusting, and exhausted in modern relationship * The intergenerational relational wounds shaping intimacy, sexuality, partnership, family, and community * What “intact relational culture” means—and why so many of us were never properly oriented to love, devotion, and healthy union * The biological, emotional, and psycho-spiritual foundations of thriving partnership * How we begin reweaving relationships, families, and communities rooted in trust, vitality, and belonging If something in this conversation resonates deeply—if you, too, feel the longing for a more biologically coherent, relationally intact, and life-giving way of connecting—we would love to welcome you into The Biology of Love this summer.

Sexual Distortions + The Female Libido

FREE CO-ED CLASS WED 5/20 — THE CURRENT STATE OF MEN AND WOMEN [https://www.sagefemmewomb.com/copy-of-survivors-circle] THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE FEMALE LIBIDO — ACCESS FULL CLASS FOR $33 [https://www.sagefemmewomb.com/challenge-page/fae2732e-0221-408e-9dc5-f205baffae0b?programId=fae2732e-0221-408e-9dc5-f205baffae0b] SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWLSETTER [https://sagefemmewomb.substack.com] This solo episode follows the thread that I’ve been weaving over the past few episodes all about spiritually intact sexual education and how we bring men and women together in this work. Today’s share is an excerpt from a recent community class that I taught called “The Creative Potential of the Female Libido” which was all about the tools of distortion and disconnection that damage a woman’s relationship to her erotic power. And while this class was specifically about women and our personal relationship to sexuality, everything that I share is also intimately interwoven with men and their sexual expression because the two cannot exist in isolation. In the episode I get into: * Acknowledging the female libido as the origin of intergenerational family constellations, community support networks, global business initiatives, collective art projects, and mass liberation movements * How hormonal contraceptives damage a woman’s natural hormonal matrix and disconnect her from her erotic life force energy * How male engagement with pornography impacts a woman’s ability to feel truly safe, open, and receptive in union * The disturbing Victorian-era history of how the vibrator came to be and the way that it desensitizes our pelvic floor and disconnects us from both our voice and our partners CONNECT WITH CLAIRE + THE PODCAST My Website [http://sagefemmewomb.com/] ⁠Book a 1:1 Consultation⁠ [https://www.sagefemmewomb.com/book-online] ⁠Substack: Extended Episodes + Writing⁠ [https://sagefemmewomb.substack.com/] ⁠Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sagefemmewomb/]

Men + Matriarchy with Britt Guimond

In this episode with my gentle, yet, fierce guest, Brittney Guimond, we explore the responsibility that men and women, alike, share in recentering the most vulnerable members of our communities—the mothers, the children, and the elders. Brittney Guimond is a Devotee and Guide of The Womb Path. She holds a timeless passion for weaving ceremonial experiences that offer an opportunity to reflect women’s original power back onto themselves, and has had the honour to facilitate transformative spaces online and worldwide within the last 8 years. Her prayer is Whole-Health & Embodiment, for every Woman. In this episode we cover: * The psychedelic nature of the womb space and the path of coming home to the clear knowing of our womanhood * What a rebirth of matriarchal and mother-centered culture would look like * What male leadership looks like in a world that centers the well-being of women, children, and elders and how we prepare our boys for that role * The self-responsibility that we hold as women to recenter our reproductive health and communicate our needs and boundaries to the men in our lives * How pornography and circumcision impact a man’s sexuality, testosterone levels, sense of purpose, and relationships with the women in his life * How women betray ourselves sexually by “opening up” to men that have not taken the time to genuinely earn our trust by creating true safety, stability, and intimacy for us to soften into * The responsibility that we all hold to co-create conscious unions with partners who are devoted to breaking unhealthy ancestral patterns and reorienting our lineages towards love, connection, and mutual respect Share this episode with a man that you love and respect!
