Sara Cate + Ashley invite you into this conversation around sex and pleasure with curiosity, love for yourself, and discernment to allow what you need to come through. Unfortunately, because of the way society and our upbringing has shaped us, our relationship with sex and pleasure is often non-existent. There is no way for us to have a universal meaning of what sex and pleasure means to us because we all come from different lived experiences and backgrounds. Sara Cate + Ashley invite you to check in with what this brings up for you, remove some negative connotations and find a deeper connection to yourself.
