How does the approach we take to love relationships at Passion and Presence™ honor Jung’s work around the unconscious, archetypes, and individuation?
It’s because there’s nothing like the crucible of a love relationship to smoke out our barriers to love.
In my podcast with Patricia Martin, a Jungian-trained cultural analyst, we talked about:
When we choose to experience our intimate relationships with curiosity and an open heart in service of healing our eros wounds, we are working with the warrior archetype. It’s the path of the warrior with heart.
How when we befriend both the pleasure and the pain of being in a love relationship, we help make our early imprints conscious.
How cultivating a conscious relationship allows a healing shift to happen. When we lean into making our unconscious forces conscious, we support the process of individuation.

I feel honored to be selected to contribute to the latest “Wise Brain Bulletin,” published by the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom, a non-profit co-founded by Rick Hanson.
In “Erotic Transformation: Healing and Growing Through Sex,” I show how the “naked path” can heal what I call our “Hidden Factors,” bringing us closer together and more freely expressed. Awakened intimacy requires courage and an agreement to examine ourselves as a mindful team. In doing so, erotic challenges become a catalyst for powerful healing and growth, re-awakening our pleasure, connection, and awe.

However, we don’t need an expert to tell us what our body knows on the inside. The early relationship “love state” is quite distinct—excitement, novelty, and feel-good chemicals put a cheerful sheen on just about everything.
Still, the question led me to think more about why it is crucial to notice and enjoy falling in love. Whether we are looking for love, are currently navigating the exhilarating landscape of newfound love, or have been in a long-term partnership for some time, being head-over-heels in love is undeniably a delicious portal of possibility.
It’s a beautiful opportunity to notice where we are without judgment, good or bad. Likewise, being mindful can open us up to the possibility of being entirely in the moment—of being genuinely present and feeling our full aliveness.
So, even if being in love feels like a distant memory, feeling alive again is possible when we meet each moment fresh. “Meeting fresh” is one of the cornerstones of the Passion and Presence approach.

I enjoyed my interview with Kristen Manieri, host of the podcast “60 Mindful Minutes“, so much.
In our conversation, we discussed:
What is real-life sex and whole-body sex? And how does embracing them help us find greater connection and creativity?
In my interview with Mukara Meredith, we explore how the approach taken by Passion and Presence helps create an integration of body, mind, and spirit. We also discuss how our erotic differences can become doorways to a greater sense of wholeness, authenticity, and aliveness.
Join me for my interview with Dr. Lori Brotto, the author of “Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire,” as we dive into the world of female sexuality. We take a look at why mindfulness is so effective when other interventions have failed to restore genital function and sexual response. Then experience a mindfulness activity that Dr. Brotto guides us through to bring present-moment awareness to your sensations.
Dr. Brotto is the Director of the University of British Columbia’s Sexual Health Laboratory, the Canada Research Chair in Women’s Sexual Health, a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, UBC, and the Executive Director of the Women’s Health Research Institute. Since 2002, she has been researching the effect of mindfulness on sexual desire, initially with survivors of gynecological cancers suffering from sexual pain, numbness, and arousal difficulties.
