Teri Ciacchi: Reverend of Living Love Revolution, “Smarty Pants Sexologist”, Aphrodite Temple High Priestess, Professional Polyamorist, Love Council Seattle co-founder, Sex Positive Activist, and self- confessed “Clitorist” talks about her life and loves. In this series you will find honest and authentic communication about the difficulties we experience as we integrate our spirituality, our sexuality and our search for love. The truth about Love and Sex is that they are simultaneously beautiful, terrifying and compelling. Our socialization does little to prepare us for the transformational processes that occur when we are intimate with other beings. All humans can learn to love themselves, intentionally create intimacy and come to know sex as sacred and healthy. Let’s learn how to love, listen and treat each other and our planet with respect and reverence. Listen to Reverend Ciacchi’s various talks, interviews and workshops in which she shares what she has learned about love, sex and spirit.
Living Love Revolution – Embodying the Sacred Whore: from Inanna to Babalon.
Who or what is a Sacred Whore? In this episode of Living Love Revolution, Reverend Teri D. Ciacchi and Tai Scarlet Kulystin follow the trail of the Sacred Whore from the beginnings of recorded human history to the rituals and patron Deities of sex workers today. We discuss empowering literature from Betty de Shong Meador’s “Inanna: Lady of Largest Heart” a translation of the first Human writings, to Peter Grey’s recently published “The Red Goddess”. We illustrate the ways that Babalon & Aphrodite are embodied in our personal lives, and what that means to us. We discuss the powerful autonomy & sexual authenticity available to anyone who participates in this holistic restoration and reclamation of Immanence.
