 We've all day-dreamed about throwing in the towel and heading out on adventure, but what happens if you actually followed that instinct? 
 Caroline Clements and Dillon Seitchik-Reardon are creatives in Melbourne who did just that - they sold their possessions, moved out of their home, and left in an old four wheel drive with a single goal: to discover Australia’s best swimming spot. 
 With the holiday season upon us, it’s not always possible to take a year off to travel the world - or necessary. This conversation is an invitation for anybody hankering for an adventure, where you need nothing more than a cozzie (if that) and willingness to embrace nature and the unknown.

Explore the intersectional qualities of pleasure, presence and embodiment in this rich conversation with the luminous Vanessa Muradian (she/they), a sexologist, embodiment explorer, yoga facilitator and founder of womxn-focussed sexuality and wellness business Mia Muse. When Vanessa launched Mia Muse 10 years ago she was filling what she saw as a crucial gap in the market – sex-positivity that was neither far-out nor tacky. Today that offering has expanded to workshops, sensual yoga and sexual education to support womxn on their journey towards intimacy, eroticism and pleasure.  This episode explores:The relationship between masculine and feminine qualities (or yang and yin, shiva and shakti, or active and receptive) within us and our wider worldCultivating and elevating your erotic identityKnowing your pleasure deep listening to your body’s needsHow sensuality has been sexualised, and expanding it to a much broader experience of daily life through our sensesUnlearning and relearning (redefining) our relationship with sensuality and unravelling inherited or cultural beliefsIt’s a full and deep (and sometimes sticky) conversation and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Find out more about Vanessa over on Mia Muse's website and Instagram.

As I mention in the show, I'm preparing to wrap up this season of Moving Inward shortly. To stay in touch make sure to sign up to Moving Inward's newsletter, which will be the primary place to connect.

Today’s guest jo buick (she/her) is a wise and thoughtful voice on the intersection between healing, embodiment and social justice. As an educator, meditator and trauma-informed yoga facilitator, her work explores the role of somatic and body-focused practices in fostering an alignment of our inner values and outer actions, especially in relation to mending the broken structures and systems of our time that need repair.

To begin this work, say jo, we can first look to nurturing the needs of our minds and body and their role within broader healing.

jo is the Director and Co-Creator of collective being, a not-for-profit that offers trauma-informed and healing-centred yoga and mindfulness programs in community. I've had the great pleasure of training with jo and it's an enormous privilege to have her on this show.
