When: Tuesday, September 17th, 8-9pm EST. *
Where: Zoom (link will be emailed upon checkout and again the day of the activation)
Who: Hosted by Jaliessa Sipress & Vanessa Cuccia
About this Activation:
Abstinence and s*x within marriage are the only “spiritual” beliefs about intimacy that are commonly accepted.
You might’ve seen a sexy goddess statue in a dusty metaphysical store, or watched a shocking documentary about “twin flames” (hard to watch, but hard *not* to watch) but where are the curious, nuanced conversations about the connection between spirituality and intimacy?
Do you get that weird shame-hangover after self pleasure or intimacy with other people?
Where does that come from?
Is it religious upbringing, societal programming, or your own inconsistencies and distance from owning your sexuality and what it means to you, spiritually?
Intimacy & Spirituality: An Activation will be an evening of thought-provoking discourse hosted by Jaliessa Sipress and Vanessa Cuccia. Jaliessa and Vanessa will speak about the connection between spirituality and intimacy from a freedom-centered, agenda-less place.
The goal of the conversation is for you to walk away with your own individualized understanding of how you want to approach intimacy and spirituality in your own life.
If you still feel tied to the beliefs of your religious upbringing, caught between “the virgin” and the “sacred wh*re” polarity, or are just incredibly curious about these spheres, this evening is for you.
You’ll be invited to share your experiences, questions, fears and triumphs with the process of reconciling spirituality and intimacy in your own life, or just digest as a silent observer, based on your comfort and preference.
Expect:
- Thought-provoking discussion on the merging of spirituality and intimacy
- Insights from Jaliessa Sipress and Vanessa Cuccia on how this level of understanding can bring you profound levity, freedom and confidence
- Opportunities to ask questions, share personal stories, and engage in meaningful dialogue
- A supportive and inclusive space where you can explore, integrate and self-discover
This is for you if:
- You feel a sense of dissonance or conflict between your spiritual beliefs and your sensual identity or experiences
- You want to deepen your understanding of the connection between spirituality and intimacy in your life, and in the world
- You want to feel more confident and comfortable in your body
- You want to have more fun and playfulness with s*x
- You want to stop hiding or shrinking and be more of *yourself*
- You want to eliminate your shame and confusion about s*x and spirituality
- You want to know more about your own desires, so you can ask for what you want and get it
Spirituality and intimacy are foundational aspects of our life.
Life can be more pleasurable when there is clarity, harmony and love where there was confusion, fear and dissatisfaction.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Jaliessa and Vanessa
P.S. there will *not be a recording available after the event, so please arrive as close to on time as you can!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Isn't it cold?
Chakrubs are tools created for your pleasure that are completely smooth and come in various shapes to suit your desires. They can be cold but warm up quickly to your body temperature or you can hold it under warm water before your session. If you have never used a hard toy before like steel or glass and have only used silicone or softer toys, it may be a new sensation but it won’t hurt. Chakrubs are completely smooth and we receive tons of glowing testimonials from our beloved customers who share their love of our products.
How do you recommend I clean my Chakrub?
Your Chakrub should be cleansed after each use with a mild soap and warm, never boiling, water. Store in a cool, dry place. For more ideas on how to care for your chakrub, check out this video.
Are Chakrubs porous?
The reason there is so much conflicting information on this subject is because the porosity of stones is difficult to corroborate. Our researchers from GIA have informed us that Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz, and Amethyst are non-porous. Other crystals may be porous or have “closed porosity” meaning that pores lay on the surface of the stone but would be very difficult for bacteria to seep through to the center and can be washed away with soap and water.
Are crystals safe for internal use?
Chakrubs are carved from “the mother stone” meaning they have never been owned before they reach you. Unlike “massage wands” you may find at a metaphysical shop that may be secondhand, Chakrubs were created with the intention for internal use. Each Chakrub goes through a quality inspection where we ensure the smoothness of the stone. However, if you see something that doesn’t feel right, listen to your body and let us know.
How do I know which Chakrub is right for me?
Chakrubs come in different shapes and sizes. When choosing a Chakrub, first decide which design is best suited for your individual needs. When it’s time to choose a crystal, we encourage you to trust your intuition and go with what you feel most drawn to. You may wish to read the metaphysical properties of the crystal and see what resonates with you most, but there is no one way to choose. Those who are heavily into crystal healing believe that the crystal is yours before it even reaches you and therefore you cannot make a wrong decision.
Where does the crystal you use to craft Chakrubs come from? Is it ethical?
Chakrubs are created from crystals and we source most of them from a city in Brazil that is abundant with them. Crystals take many hundreds of years to form and because of that they aren’t the most renewable resource. However, because they last a lifetime it reduces the need to purchase other silicone or plastic products that get thrown away over time. We have been working with the lapidary who crafts Chakrubs for many years and have formed good relationships with them. We can confidently assure you that the labor practices are legal and ethical. We also make regular contributions to a number of organizations in an effort to minimize our environmental impact, including Friends of the Earth International, the Arbor Day Foundation and the International Institute for Sustainable Development. As we grow we are focused on doing all we can to be a company that is responsible and trustworthy.
