#2: Sacred Sexuality with Monica Kovacs
In this episode, we explore the intersection of sexuality and spirituality with Somatic Sex Educator Monica Kovacs (@integrativesexcoach). Monica’s work is heavily influenced by Eastern wisdom traditions including Tantra, yoga, Taoism and various shamanic roots. From the Western side, she draws from the teachings of depth psychology, eco-spirituality, and the pioneering works of bodywork teachers such as Peter Levine, Bessel Van der Kolk, Joseph Kramer, and Caffyn Jesse. We also delve a little bit into Monica’s personal journey. She believes that bodywork is linked to spirituality and that we can access profound healing power through our bodies. Her work is trauma based and client-centred. Her mission is to hold space for clients and offer them tools that cultivate the foundation for a more vibrant life, one that embraces joy and authenticity – a soulful living.
