It is the doorway to it.Inside this book, you will discover:· Why the word ‘Fine’ is formaldehyde for a woman’s soul· The erotic science of pleasure as radical healing· Embodied rituals to alchemize grief, rage and loss into power· Why collapse is the making of the your most turned-on, sovereign selfThis is not a book about surviving your life.
