Of Sex and Sexuality

Your Soulful Goddess

Sex and sexuality are complex topics that can often bring about a lot of old patterns and stories that may not be serving us. On this episode, Sapha and her guest, Yael Rosenstock discuss how boundaries, awareness, openness and more can help us embody these spaces more freely. About my guest: https://www.yaelrosenstock.com/ (Yael R Rosenstock Gonzalez) is a sex educator, researcher, author, speaker, and curriculum developer. As a queer, polyamorous, white-presenting Nuyorican Jew, Yael has always been interested in understanding the multi-level experiences of individuals. This led her to found https://kvibrations.com/ (Kaleidoscope Vibrations, LLC), a company dedicated to supporting and creating spaces for individuals to explore and find community in their personal identities. Through her company, she facilitates workshops, develops curriculum, offers https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfV3XftsDLI-9opBpq1sAN8mzxmbMhiRmTjer2yEPFrBAS2_w/viewform (Identity Exploration Coaching), and publishes narratives often left out of mainstream publishing. Yael has been engaged in workshop development and facilitation since she joined the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) as a teen peer reproductive rights educator at 15 years old. Since then, she has served as an educator with children ranging from 10 months old to adults in their 70s with different organizations and communities. In her work as first Program Coordinator, then Director of Programming, and finally Associate Director of the Center for Ethnic, Racial, and Religious Understanding, Yael developed and led events, workshops, and programs with an intersectionality lens. Throughout Yael’s career, there has been an emphasis on sex, gender, and diversity. Her undergraduate thesis, "A Not so Silent Voice for Female Sexuality: Empowering Examples from Literature Cross-Culturally" and Master's thesis, "Dismantling Rape Culture through an Exploration of Consent, Desire, and Pleasure," created space for her to explore sexuality, consent, and pleasure through different perspectives and disciplines. In 2018 she published https://www.amazon.com/Intro-Guide-Sex-Positive-You-Lessons/dp/1949949001 (An Introguide to a Sex Positive You: Lessons, Tales, and Tips), a queer and trans inclusive book, and has since begun offering https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGYVoge1nDLFanF4vufeSzNBBi2I9FtLZoDt7c1zrEz8Hqkg/viewform (Sex Coaching services).
