Are you struggling to break free from shame, conditioning, and the pressure to "perform" intimacy. Join us with Elana Auerbach, Author of The Sure Thing: A Pleasure Practice to Revive the Spark, as she explains her pleasure practice as a clear, fun, and accessible weekly ritual to help couples reconnect with desire and each other. GUEST: Elana Auerbach BIO: Elana Auerbach is a lover, mother, mentor, activist, and priestess. She spent her childhood and young adulthood on what she calls "the conveyor belt of life," being the good girl and doing what others expected of her. This looked like graduating Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA, working on Wall Street for a Japanese investment bank, and marrying someone with whom she felt no chemistry. It all fell apart in 2001 when Elana realized she'd been living a lie and found the courage to leave her marriage. She entered a world of sensuality and sex in a San Francisco pleasure-centered community. This is where she met Bill, who would become her loverman for life. In 2005, Elana founded "Sensuelle: A Woman's Journey into Sensuality," a program supporting women to fall in love with themselves, connect with their authentic voice, and ignite their passion. Then, in 2011, a few years after becoming an ordained priestess with the Sanctuary of the 13 Moon Mystery School, Elana was certified to teach their year-long immersion into the feminine mysteries, where she taught for over a decade. While Elana has a wealth of professional experience guiding people deeper into their bodies and their pleasure, The Sure Thing comes directly from her personal life. After years of frustration and failed gimmicks to try to respark her and Bill's sex life, Elana created The Sure Thing. She wrote this book because she wants everyone to have access to this life altering practice.
