Thu, 19 Oct 2023 - 49min - 151 - 149: BIPOC Sexuality, Tenderness, + the Impact of being Chronically Under Touched with Aaron Johnson
Today we dive into topics that are sensitive + complex in nature- discussing the black male brute archetype, how it came about + perpetuates across history and how it impacts sexual expression, tenderness, + platonic touch for men.
THIS episode depicts the impact to us + the culture at large when we don’t take the time to understand nuance.
Let’s change the cultural narrative by inspiring conversation. If you resonate with this episode be sure to share the podcast or leave me a review.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The contextual factors that influence the processing of trauma, including aspects like race, gender, location, and ability
The pervasive influence of systemic racism, gender expectations, and societal biases that hinder safe expression and emotional completeness
Aaron's personal journey, navigating the layers of his sexual story as a Black male in the United States
The exploration of our familial legacies, uncovering the unconscious narratives we inherit and continue to carry
The damaging impact of the "black brute" narrative on our sexuality and our experience of touch
How systemic oppression has limited access to touch for BIPOC individuals
The value of community as a resource to reconnect with our authentic selves
The absence of tenderness and platonic touch within the Black community
Common narratives that emerge in Aaron's work and the influence of homophobia
Tracing trauma through various mediums, including pornography and music, and the importance of vulnerability and embracing our full humanity in our erotic experiences
The construction of traditional masculinity and the factors that threaten this identity
Embodied consent practices in the context of tender touch, exploring what is often missed and nuanced
The supportive role of the kink community for those who have been chronically untouched
THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTS
AARON JOHNSON is a facilitator, public speaker, and touch specialist who practices closeness as a way to break down barriers between people. As co-founder of both Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action, Aaron takes the time to hold the stories of black people around homophobia, transphobia, internalized racism, and those that are Chronically UnderTouched. Because the purchasing, selling, lynching, and commoditization of the sexual energy of black bodies is a part of historical and present American culture, the long term impact of those trauma stories should be acknowledged and held as a map for our collective healing.

“Trauma is not the monster in the room. Trauma is the catalyst to growth and inner transformation.” – Dr. Melissa Barker
Dr. Melissa Barker, EdD is an entrepreneur, activist, and emerging voice in the growing psychedelics movement. Dr. Barker is the founder of The Phoenix Project, a community-led mental health tech platform created by survivors for survivors.
Dr. Barker holds a doctorate in Transformative Leadership. Her doctoral dissertation (Leading Through the Dark: Hope and Healing after Personal and Collective Trauma) focuses on how trauma survivors are finding sustainable healing, especially in the shadow of the pandemic.
From 2018 to 2019, she served on the Board of Directors for STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a Bay-area nonprofit supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
In 2014, Dr. Barker filed a Title IX Civil Rights case against UC Berkeley for mishandling sexual violence cases on the college campus. In total, 31 brave survivors came forward, and four years later, the Office of Civil Rights found UC Berkeley had violated Title IX.
Dr. Barker’s personal experience of sexual violence and her resulting PTSD diagnosis led her to explore such modalities as somatic therapy, IFS, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy. She eventually discovered the incredible therapeutic power of psychedelics and began implementing them to integrate her trauma.
Her experiences with ketamine, MDMA/MDA, psilocybin, and LSD (alongside her work helping other survivors) spurred her into a deeper understanding of what healing from sexual trauma, abuse and violence means for women, particularly in today’s current climate.
She is now in the process of developing a new iteration of The Phoenix Project that utilizes revolutionary tech to support psychedelic integration for trauma survivors and to connect them with the community and resources they need.
Dr. Barker has been featured in HuffPost, Forbes, Nasdaq, and as one of Thrive Global’s “Social Impact and Nonprofit Leaders to Watch”. She’s been interviewed on Third Wave and Only One in the Room podcasts. She was a featured Mentor on the psychedelics track at SXSW in 2023.

Ginny Rutherford is a master practitioner and principle teacher at Kambo International. She is a practitioner of Ren Xue International. She is also an advanced certified transformational life coach and an advanced student of Gnosis Tarot.
She found herself in the jungle joining indigenous shamans in ceremonies using ayahuasca, a healing plant of the Amazon. Her research into ayahuasca led her discovery of kambo, and after experiencing it she felt powerfully called to this amazing secretion from the Giant Monkey Tree Frog of the Amazonian jungle. Ginny completed the International Association of Kambo Practitioners (IAKP) training in early 2015. By 2016, Ginny was assisting in trainings, and in 2017 became one of the principle teachers for the IAKP.
In 2020, Ginny left the IAKP in order to create a deeper level of teaching for her students through the organization Kambo International. Its mission is to train great kambo practitioners and also to give them tools to help them uplift their own life and then help others do the same.
Steve Dumain is the co founder of Kambo International. Steve would like to make Kambo something that is comfortable to approach for everyone. The jungle can be a special place to receive traditional medicines, but you will see that there is a special place for Kambo to be given as a treatment everywhere and for (almost) everybody. We all deserve deep healing. When we first heal & love ourselves, we can then heal and love each other & the entire planet on a true and profound level.

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 - 25min - 97 - 96: Sexuality vs Sensuality
Sexuality + Sensuality...are they the same thing? It sure seems like it by the way the media interchanges these two terms, and yet the differentiation of the two are incredibly important for the relationship we have to pleasure + our bodies.

The difference between sensuality + sexuality + why this is important
How you can tap into greater pleasure potential in everyday, mundane activities
How to cultivate the skill of desire to answer your challenges around “What do you want?”

How sexual arousal can be activated when practicing sensuality
The benefits to living a sensual lifestyle
Why we struggle with maintaining a sensual lifestyle
