Avara Yaron, author of the Girl Submerged trilogy of erotic novels is with me tonight to discuss the epidemic of erotic wounding and how pleasure is our antidote. A periodic shapeshifter, Avara has a film degree, spiritual counseling license and has explored life as a painter, filmmaker, designer, counselor, group facilitator, retreat leader and plant based chef. A woman wearing many hats, she has had a romance with the island of Bali where she's started two cafes and writes a food column for Inspired Bali magazine. Her vast experience has prepared her to chat with us about erotic wounding, why it's so often hidden in the subconscious, what brings this trauma to the surface and why pleasure and self-empowerment is important to the healing process. Should be an interesting and enlightening conversation.
