Welcome to the Ceremony Circle Podcast, where host Shaman and author of Animal Power, Allison Charles, explores the power and importance of sacred sex and intimacy. In this episode, Allison is joined by Stephanos Cifindos, a relationship coach and somatics and trauma guide. Stephanos shares his story of using Eastern and Western methodologies and philosophies to promote balance, sacredness, and power in life and love. He talks about his journey of facing and healing his own traumas and how this has informed his teaching. He also shares his experience of sacred union with his wife and the birth of his daughter Athena. They also answer questions from listeners, such as how to reconnect sexually when both parties are stressed and how to create polarity in a passive relationship. Lastly, they offer a powerful closing ceremony practice called Meeting Your Younger Self's Needs.
We also hear from Stefanosofandos, a runner who experienced many physical changes during middle school. He talks about how he is now more in touch with his younger self and the importance of being compassionate and consistent with oneself. He encourages listeners to connect with him on social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and his website - stefanosofandos.com) for more information and guidance.
