  • An excellent exploration into the nature of our nature and what is vital to being human

    Darshana is an excellent host for exploring somatic themes and experiences that matter most to human bodies. Getting to the core issues that prevent and support the embodiment of our aliveness and so deft in teasing out the subtleties of how sexuality is experienced and can be experienced. A real gift to humanity.

  • A true ally

    Darshana is a true ally. You can feel the depth of her care and her willingness to show up with honesty and integrity. There is an immediate sense of trust with her, especially for those who have not always felt seen or respected. Because of her, I am learning how to be that kind of ally as well.

    Her work meets you at the core and expands how you show up in every part of your life.

    So excited to have this podcast series! I’ve followed Darashana’s work for a while now and have already learnt so much from her. These episodes are a great way to stir up questions, invitations and wonderings about your own erotic life and make focusing on your erotic life a regular practice. It’s been wonderful to hear conversations with other folks with a wide range of expertise and experience. Thank you for this podcast!
