    🔥 About Melanie Maar

    Born and now based again in Vienna, Austria as the daughter of a dancer and a therapist, I was led to be curious about the sensual and the rational realms from a young age. I chose to continue life in New York City as a professional dancer, choreographer and teacher over the last 28 years. I also created a program called ‘process as guide’ for creatives interested in art/life processes, co-founded ‘school of dying’ in 2021 and became a guide for sensxual integration. I feel a deep sense of purpose and curiosity in art-life processes. My mother’s dance studio was in our house, so I grew up with the challenge and beauty of a lack of separation between life and art. ‘Being in art ‘, can be a way to consciously ‘not know’ and thus resist technocracy's greed for transparency, internalized productivity and self-improvement. I use my skills to activate subtler sensory perceptions in my audience, students and clients as to trick our habitual selves into the mystery of sensual presence. It was shame and debilitating psycho-somatic symptoms I carried in my body, the suffering in romantic relationships, blocks in my artistic life and a sense that my sexual self and powers were not fully my own that led me to study and change through Jungian Psychology, Sexological Bodywork and then Somatic Sexology over the last 6 years.  Developing Sensxual Integration Sessions clarified for me that the continuum between our creative, our sexual, our spiritual and our relational self provides an intimate inner guidance. It gives me joy to guide people in their self-guidance, experiencing new sensations, relational dynamics and perspectives that can bring more intimacy, presence and agency into all aspects of our lives.

    🔥 About Tressa Yonekawa

    I work every day to disrupt your life in the best ways by providing experiences of positive change, connection, excellence in leadership and inclusive belonging.

    I am an award-winning: . mindset . inclusion . and healthy culture keynote and strategist

    My goals are to be: . One of your favorite and most impactful keynotes to work with all over the world . The last outside consultant you need to get your culture healthy, inclusive, and internally sustainable for everyone involved. We know expanded outcomes follow . One of the most impactful executive coaches of your career. I work hard to be counted among the top people who have supported, advised and pushed you to your most fulfilling life and work

    I also very often end up helping executives with their personal relationships and families because those stresses and distractions that come up at work, they bleed into our personal lives way too often. I am an accidental multi-million dollar medical staffing corporation founder. I thought I just needed to care about my clients and employees and everything would magically be successful. I nearly lost my company because I wasn’t actively listening. My team that I loved, deeply cared for, and trusted told me that I wasn’t even close to giving them what they really needed. What they needed was for me to learn how to be a true leader. So, I stopped pretending that the role models I had as bosses were what would work for me or my team. I started learning how to be a better human being and a leader that people wanted to follow. We can only brilliantly teach what we have learned. I will always be learning about connection and leadership.

    I am also a very intentional consultancy co-founder, mom of girls, older-child foster-adoption advocate, autism services specialist, and award winning international author recognized by the Shriver Foundation and Special Olympics.

    I ask myself and you this every day: What changes in the world when we learn to connect without fear of ourselves or each other? Currently tri-located in Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, and San Jose, California, I facilitate great people from stages, virtually, and on-site in organizations to radically elevate your leadership, optimal services, creativity, belief in what’s possible together because I’ve seen lives lost and saved by how we connect with ourselves and each other.

    This is my work. Let’s connect and understand clearly how we align and how I can be in service to your growth, leadership, happiness, living your legacy and taking on your most full and meaningful life.

  • #117 How To Radiate Sensual Presence — John Britton

    🔥 Get FREE guide to awaken sensuality clicking here: https://www.candiaraquel.com/awaken-sensuality

     

    🔥 Feeling invisible?

    Discover how to radiate sensual presence by connecting to the stream of life force here on episode #117 of The Sensual Sessions Podcast hosted by Candia Raquel with guest John Britton, Self-With-Others Creator, Author and Renowned Physical Theatre Performer.

     

    🔥 About John Britton

    For thirty years I travelled the world as director, teacher of performers, and an actor/movement artist. I worked in theatre, somatics, dance, circus, improvisation, clowning, education and things outside any definition! I also worked in community development, youth theatre, corporate training and schools, conservatories & universities.

    For a while I was an academic running a Masters degree based in my own training processes.

    I developed an approach to personal and professional development which I call Self-With-Others. I had an amazing journey as a theatre artist, but there was a cost. I burned out. My health collapsed.

    I’m strong again now, though no longer with any desire to travel or make performance. From my tumble-down house in rural Ireland, I’ll use Self-With-Others to guide you when you yearn for a deeper engagement with life (whatever you do to earn your living).

    I’ll help you embrace your potential – creatively, fully and joyously.
