Global Wellness Dialogues is a space for real conversations about what it means to be well across cultures, communities, and ways of life.

Each episode explores how people around the world breathe, believe, and belong, uncovering the rituals, values, and stories that shape our shared humanity. From ancient practices to modern science, from kitchen tables to corporate boardrooms, we ask: how does culture shape our sense of wellbeing?


Through the lens of the VASSA framework (Vitality, Ability, Sexuality, Spirituality, and Affinity), we explore wellness in all its dimensions, inviting guests to reflect on their own experiences and what “wholesome wellness” means to them. Because true wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s a global conversation.

  • Sexuality: What does it mean to be well? With Seani Love
    2026/06/25

    What if sexuality is about far more than sex?

    Today's guest is Seani Love, an erotic and spiritual adventurer whose work explores the transformative intersection of sexuality, spirituality, and personal liberation.

    Drawing on practices such as erotic ritual, Neo-Tantra, Conscious Kink, and other forms of sacred sexuality, Seani invites people to reclaim pleasure, embrace the parts of themselves they've been taught to suppress, and discover sexual healing as a pathway to empowerment.

    Blending ancient wisdom and contemporary psychology, he offers a thought-provoking perspective on sexuality, not simply as a source of pleasure, but as a powerful gateway to authenticity, creativity, connection, and transformation.

    Together with Funke Michaels and Aurelie Walker, we explore how cultural conditioning, religious influences, and colonial legacies have shaped our relationship with pleasure, intimacy, and the body.

    From the fattening rooms of Nigeria to Conscious Kink temples in London, we explore how different cultures understand sexuality, intimacy, initiation, and personal freedom—and what these perspectives can teach us about being fully human.

    This episode invites us to move beyond shame and repression and into a more expansive understanding of what it means to be fully alive, embodied, and whole.

    🌍 Global Wellness Dialogues is a global conversation on wellness, culture, and connection, exploring what it means to thrive across communities, traditions, and ways of life.
