Leonore Tiefer is a friend and colleague who's spent the last decade of her life fighting Big Pharma to keep women safe from the all-consuming pursuit of "pink viagra" - the tiny little pill that can give all women the sex lives of their dreams.

She single-handedly blocked the release of the testosterone patch for women.  They hadn't conducted one safety study and she wasn't going to let them medicalize menopause at the expense of women's lives.

Each one of these posts echos my own experience as a woman.

The one word I would choose for this past retreat: unity.

No matter what we face we can always reach down, hug our vulva, and take an orgasm.

My last circle I was a participant, and this one I would be an assistant.

It was my first solo interview. They printed every word that came out of my mouth.

There was so much love and support that it was an honor to hold the space for them.

Genital show and tell is so profound because we break through trauma and experience sisterhood which puts us back in our bodies.

Pleasure is a journey, not a destination.

The circle is focused on each woman finding her own pleasure – in her own way, on her own timeline, without judgment or pressure from a partner or lover.
