In this episode of Thank Goddess, host Danielle Murnane speaks with Diana Richardson, world-renowned teacher of tantra, slow sex, and conscious lovemaking.

For over 35 years, Diana has guided thousands of couples through her Making Love Retreats and bestselling books, including The Heart of Tantric Sex, Slow Sex, and Tantric Orgasm for Women.

Together, they explore how to move beyond performance-driven sex and reconnect through mindful, heart-centered intimacy. This conversation dives into:

• The difference between conventional sex and conscious sex
• Healing shame, trauma, and conditioning through awareness
• The natural pacing of the feminine body and why slowing down matters
• How tantric sex can become a spiritual path to connection and awakening

If you’ve ever felt disconnected in intimacy or longed for deeper emotional and physical connection, this episode will open your heart to a new way of relating — one grounded in presence, tenderness, and truth.
