Welcome to Season 2 of Universal Intimacy! On this episode, I welcome Selene Ashé: a multi-disciplinary artist, erotic dancer, author of The Diary of a Bad Bitch: True Stories of Sensuality, Self-Discovery, and Spiritual Alchemy, and the mastermind responsible for "Conscious Cabaret" a sober cabaret that seeks to provide a safe space for erotic artists to express themselves fully and to cultivate presence for all involved using the magic of Eros.

In the following conversation, Selene takes us on a journey through her life and shares the wisdom she has gained along the way. She speaks to how her Cuban roots have influenced her relationship with her own sensuality and expression, her firsthand experience with listening to the wisdom of the body, how having trust in herself and her art has transformed her life and so much more. Selene is a wealth of knowledge for women seeking to face their shadows, stand in their power, and honor their creative artistry.

In this illuminating episode of Universal Intimacy, host Josephine Lauer sits down with Cheyenne Sapphire—a Divine Channel, Tantric Practitioner, and visionary guide known for her transformational Surrender Sessions. Together, they explore the rich and intricate terrain where art, spirituality, healing, and empowerment converge. Cheyenne, an elite empowerment coach and multi-modality healing artist, brings her signature blend of elegance, sexuality, spirituality, and raw creative expression to the conversation. Josephine and Cheyenne delve into her path as a practitioner, discussing how she weaves ritual, embodiment, and artistry into potent forms of personal liberation. They explore Cheyenne’s pioneering work in Prayerformance—a fusion of prayer, performance art, and ritual theater—and her role in crafting immersive erotic and spiritual experiences around the world. At its heart, this conversation is an exploration of what becomes possible when we surrender to authenticity, reclaim our embodied wisdom, and let creativity become a spiritual path. Cheyenne’s name has become synonymous with liberation and inspiration—and in this episode, Josephine reveals the depth and devotion behind that legacy, while also bravely moves into territory often left untouched—unpacking the taboo intersections of race, sacred spaces and the nuanced, sometimes controversial realm of esoteric teachings.

Allan McGrath Isbell is an embodied intimacy mentor who works with men and women to truly live the teachings of sacred intimacy. At the core of Allan’s work is the sacred dance of polarity - the magnetic force that draws men and women together in their most natural and powerful expression. We talk about these concepts as well as a bit about Allan's personal relationship in this episode, sharing a deeply intimate view of masculine and feminine relations which I hope will inspire each and every listener to cultivate a deeper awareness and attunement to the masculine and feminine frequencies within themselves, as well as provide insight into how you can relate to the opposite sex in your life, via navigating conflict and connection. As Somatic practitioners, we discuss the importance of nervous system regulation, breath work, posture and presence, which is needed in the masculine to contain and hold the totality of the volatile feminine. Allan is the founder of Thirteen Pines, a men's group program, and host of in-person Polarity and Intimacy Immersions in Boulder, CO.
