Intimacy through the Wonder Body

Alex and Amy reflect on what they’ve learned from this experience of creating the Wonder Body coloring book, and specifically from the “4th chapter”. Could it be that all these senses are really what intimacy is all about?

The Little Engine that Could: Vitality, Erotic, the Second Chakra, and the Wonder Body

In this episode of Season 3, Amy and Alex explore the 2nd chakra, how it’s an engine that fuels our vitality, and how all our senses can help fill it up. If you’ve been wondering what all this coloring book stuff has to do with genitals and the erotic, then this is the episode for you.
Print out the coloring page for yourself and show us how it turns out.

Vestibular pleasure and the Wonder Body: how balance, equilibrium, orientation turn us on!

NOTE: we had some technical issues on the backend but this episode should now be available (refresh your feed).
In this episode of Season 3, Amy and Alex explore three senses: balance, equilibrium, and orientation and their interplay. How do these senses keep us upright–or not–as we move through the world? Do they atrophy over time? How can we keep them intact? In what contexts can they bring us pleasure? We wander into conversation about adults in playgrounds and internalized homophobia and the community of adults who still like to play on the swings.
Want to experiment with these on your own? Try going to a playground (feel free to take a kid or a dog as an escort). Or roll on a ball, jump in water, balance on one foot, or even do sun salutations.
Print out the coloring page for yourself and show us how it turns out.
And don’t forget theirs a little audio outtake gift after the music at the end. Sometimes worth hanging around. 🙂
Mentioned in this show:

  • Beautiful video and sound of iceskating on black ice
  • Dutch class that teaches the elderly how to tumble again
  • I Love Hue app

Announcing: Body Trust’s Patreon (P #1)!

We’ve finally done it — we launched a Patreon page! Patreon is a way for you to pledge a few (or many!) dollars every month to support our ongoing efforts, and you get to support and be part of an amazing spiritual community based on trust, consent, whole body aliveness, whimsy, and experimentation. We’ll make sure you get some fun perks from behind the scenes … a look into our processes, some individual conversations with all of us, and the first look at what we produce. But mostly, you get the pleasure of contributing (financial) energy to our offerings, and helping us make them even better than they already are.
While workshop tuition helps, it doesn’t cover all of Body Trust’s expenses. That’s where you can come in. Even just a few dollars a month helps support those not-so-sexy back-end costs (not that kind of back-end! You know, like web hosting and time to edit podcasts). It also helps us offer scholarships to some of our in-person events. We’ll continue doing what we love — following our paths and gifts, following what emerges during the rotation of the planet and in our own selves, and offering forms out to you to join us in the explorations. With your help, we can do even more.
We do understand that sometimes contributing financially just isn’t possible. We don’t ever want it to be a hardship for you, and we hope you’ll keep engaging with us in all the ways you’d like to. And, we know sometimes it’s possible for folks to give even more. So much thanks for all of you!
