Listen Later

Arielle Brown is an intimacy teacher, group facilitator, and ceremonial artist dedicated to integrated authentic expression and embodied leadership. Through 1:1 client work, online group programs, and in-person retreats, she guides individuals in transforming chronic shame, guilt, and self-abandonment into profound self-honoring and self-love. Arielle's living curriculum meets the evolving demands for progressive approaches to love, sexuality, leadership, and community. Her teachings emphasize power-WITH models of relating, grounded in reconnecting with our innocence, wholeness, and sacred connection.

In this conversation we discuss the importance of group facilitation for connection and individuality. 

She views group facilitation as a reflection of our relationship with the greater community and culture, emphasizing the need for cohesion, attunement, and clear agreements to foster safety and freedom.

Arielle sees it as a way to address the global intimacy disorder and cultural crisis of meaning. She highlights the significance of holding space with impeccability, integrity, and humility as a facilitator. We discuss integrating sexuality in personal and group spaces, touching on desire, embodiment, shame, and gender power dynamics. Arielle shares her experience with her women's mastermind, which helps women connect with their erotic energy. We discuss the need for sexual healing and liberation in mainstream culture and the impact of shame on our relationship with sexuality.

The conversation concludes with an invitation for listeners to slow down, honor their feelings, and explore their desires.
