On this weeks show we speak with our friend sacred sexuality priestess Inara Inara de Luna
Founder of the Temple of the Red Lotus, Inara is a Qadishtu
priestess who believes in the sacredness of sex and pleasure. Inara
describes herself as a bisexual, polyamorous, eclectic pagan. A teacher
and lifelong practitioner of yoga, she follows a path of finding
enlightenment by healing the mind-body-spirit split that occurs in
Western society. Ecstatic dance, drumming, sex, yoga, ritual, energy
manipulation and healing, research and reflection are the avenues Inara
uses and encourages for spiritual expression and development.
Inara runs an online discussion group on sacred sexuality and offers
workshops and classes on yoga, breath work, sacred sexuality, teenage
sex education, menstruation reclamation, and Native American
drumming/singing. She has been a guest instructor for the Indigo
Village Summer Camp, and a guest lecturer at the University of Redlands
in California and at St. Patrick’s Cathedral School in Pennsylvania.
Additionally, she has performed private yoga demonstrations for select
audiences around the country. Inara is a published author, with
articles and poetry appearing in The Common People magazine, Atlanta
Rising magazine and the Carolina Spirit Quest newsletter.
Inara organizes the Village of Greenwood at Dreaming. She also
coordinated the Adult Play area at FireDance 2004 and DayDreaming:
Greenwood, a day-long sacred sex intensive. Most recently, Inara
presented a three course seminar on sacred sexuality at Bio-Buzz in
Albany, GA. She created the Temple of the Red Lotus as an organization
devoted to promoting and practicing sacred sexuality and the Qadishtu
path. |
