Healing and Pleasure
Powerful original writings explain the science and art of sacred intimacy
Neurobiology
We can learn to rewire and transform
How to Touch
Building a vocabulary of touch and integrating the erotic at the pace of trust
Caffyn says, "I am interested in touching souls, and being touched in ways that welcome other souls. I know that souls can be lost, and also loved into what is deeply true. I celebrate the erotic, and - from the inside – I know about trauma, shame, violences and silences we are trained to endure in the erotic realm. When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy. I want to touch and be touched in ways that honour this."
