    PS108 - Healing, Gender, and Spirit with Tommie StarChild
    Oct 8 2018

    Spirit worker, witch, artist, and educator Tommie StarChild joins Lee for a previously unpublished podcast. Recorded at the end of 2017, StarChild shares their life journey that led to their call to authenticity, a path that goes beyond the boxes that spiritual and sexual communities find themselves locked in. Exploring “ecstatic bliss and ecstatic fear,” they look at the nature of our inner spirit, and how self-awareness allows for an exploration of gender that lay beyond the form we are given at birth – including the revelation of our inherit inner fruit and inner/outer Jell-O essence. Dive in deep and be inspired in this playful, thought-provoking, and intimate opportunity for reflection and learning alike.

    PS102 - Erotic Art, Poetry, & Music
    Apr 17 2017
    No two people have exactly the same taste in art or music – why should it be any different for erotica or pornography? Leading up to Seattle Erotic Art Festival (where Lee was a judge this year), he shares an erotic tale about pony play, some erotic poetry, and discusses how music and storytelling can be embedded in our sexual journey. Let’s examine what is sensual and sexual for you, and consider being profoundly present with the tastes and interests of others. ** Passion And Soul Podcast: iTunes Subscription: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-soul-podcast-by-lee/id840372122 PassionAndSoul Audio Page: http://passionandsoul.com/audio Resources and Information Discussed: Seattle Erotic Art Festival (SEAF): https://www.seattleerotic.org Let’s talk about Sex, Salt-no-Pepa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydrtF45-y-g Pretty Hate Machine, Nine Inch Nails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD55i5BJdk4 Sophia Sky: https://fetlife.com/users/9422 Guggenheim: http://guggenheim.org Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A): https://www.vam.ac.uk Royal Court Theatre: https://royalcourttheatre.com Portland Art Museum: http://portlandartmuseum.org On Starry Thighs: Sensual & Sacred Poetry, by Lee Harrington: https://www.amazon.com/On-Starry-Thighs-Sensual-Sacred/dp/0977872769/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pass-20 Sheela na gig: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheela_na_gig Dark Odyssey: http://darkodyssey.com Boymeat: https://fetlife.com/users/1443 Cathal Ó Searcaigh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathal_Ó_Searcaigh Ogham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogham BeachBind, Jamaica: https://www.beachbind.com Reid Mahalko: http://reidaboutsex.com Take a Chance on Me, Abba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0Lee’s Upcoming Events/Appearances: http://passionandsoul.com/appearances/Lee Harrington Contact Information: http://www.PassionAndSoul.com Hosted on Acast.
