Sex and Psychedelics with Juliana Goldstone

Juliana is a Certified Somatic Sex Educator and Trauma Informed Plant Medicine Facilitator and Integration Coach. She works at the intersection of psychedelics, sexuality and conscious relationship coaching. The name of her practice is Boldly Embodied and she believes that both psychedelics and sexuality can offer portals into how to live fully and boldly embodied in our relationship to self and others. She is passionate about creating ethical bridges between the psychedelic and sexuality spaces as a form of harm reduction. She offers private coaching and carefully curated programs for individuals, couples and groups. 

In this episode, Juliana Goldstone and Beth Weinstein discuss …

▶ How ayahuasca helped Juliana see how she her sexual and attachment traumas were affecting the way she showed up in relationship
▶ The “edginess” of working as an entrepreneur at the intersection of psychedelics and sexuality 
▶ The four main themes of Juliana’s couple's program and how they correspond with the four directions of the medicine wheel   
▶ How relationships can deteriorate because rites of passage that have missed or need to happen are not acknowledged 
▶ How psychedelic work relates to couple’s work
▶ How Juliana helps couples prepare for and integrate psychedelic experiences
▶ Not seeing breakups as failed relationships but rather as positive transmutations
▶ Expanding the definition of what success looks like in a relationship
▶ Sexual trauma surfacing in psychedelic experiences
▶ The implications of practitioners themselves having unresolved issues and unconsciously trying to get their own needs through their work with clients
▶ Whether psychedelic facilitators who cross sexual boundaries should be “cancelled” 
▶ How the criminalization of psychedelics prevents accountability structures around sexual boundary violations from being put in place
▶ How the medicine we offer others is very often the the medicine we need most ourselves
