Grief And Pleasure As Fuel For Creativity and Feminine Leadership with Kate Leiper

Wild Flow with Charlotte Pointeaux

Grief isn't sexy but its a powerful presence in everyone's lives - so why don't we talk about it, welcome it and let it work us? Grief is all around us, in our lived experiences of losses and woundings, and it has the potential to break us open - if we have support and the capacity to meet it and come out changed the other side. Today's conversation is a rich, evocative, poetic and powerful exploration of grief, and pleasure and why we need to be better at meeting grief.

My guest today and our grief guide is Kate Leiper. As Creatress of the SensuAlchemy School of Embodied Grief & Pleasure and the SensuAlchemy School Podcast, has developed a powerfully embodied, pleasure-oriented approach to grief and loss. Through the lens of the archetypal feminine, and with an emphasis on sensual movement, ritual and creative expression, Kate is devoted to sharing the healing gifts and leadership power of the SensuAlchemy Method to women all over the world.
In this episode we wove a conversation around:

1. Kate's story of loss and grief and how this cracked her open and called her home to herself,
2. Why we collectively are grief-illiterate, and unable to openly feel, express and own our grief or hold others in their pain and grief,
3. How we can express our grief even when it makes others uncomfortable.
4. How grief can be a portal through which we can grow our capacity to transmute pain of loss into pleasure,
5. How grief can fuel our creativity and a feminine style of leadership, and why the world needs leaders who are capable of meeting grief, and
6. How pleasure and grief can co-exist within us, and how we can meet these opposing emotions in us through embodiment work.
