It’s descent season and it couldn’t feel more timely to offer my talk S*X WITCH online for the first time. FREE sign up in bio or comment WITCH and I will send you the link. Uncovering the True Story of Our Erotic Wisdom The witch trials vilified female sexuality and violently oppressed women’s bodies, creative spirit and erotic aliveness. This period helped shape our cultural stories about s*x and women’s pleasure. But what is the story under the story? A story of erotic intelligence, sensuality, desire, creativity and freedom. This talk will explore some of the his-story of the witch and will reveal the story that came before it. This is a not purely heady and academic talk, but one that will utterly root you into your s*x and erotic power. We can descend back down into our bodies, grieve our losses, work with our trauma, re-kindle our desire and remember our s*x magic. Burn his-story and ignite your erotic power and pleasure. Comment WITCH and I will send you the link. Little did I know when I decided to offer this talk online how relevant and necessary it would feel right now. With the horror of r*pe culture continuing to reveal itself this is essential work. I hope to see you there 🔥 #witch #women #womensempowerment #descentandrising by @carly_mountain

OUT NOW! From @womancraft_publishing or wherever you buy your books from. Links in my bio. 🖤 ✨ When our lives fall apart we often feel broken, ashamed and deeply alone. But what if you knew, as you experienced this descent, that it was mapped out in a myth thousands of years old? What if, despite the uniqueness of your own life and experiences, each stage of the process was universal? The journey of descent and rising is the core initiation of the feminine – the heroine’s journey – one travelled by billions of women before you. Descent & Rising explores real stories of women’s descents into the underworld of the psyche – journeys of dissolution, grief and breakdown precipitated by trauma, fertility issues, loss of loved ones, mental health struggles, FGM, sexual abuse, birthing experiences, illness, war, burnout…This is territory that Carly Mountain, psychotherapist and women’s initiatory guide, knows intimately, and guides us through with exquisite care and insight, using the ancient Sumerian myth of the goddess Inanna as a blueprint. "The heroine’s journey is an erotic, mystical initiation that revivifies our place in the shape of things…The fodder of our descents provides the compost from which the richest fruits of our lives can grow. If only we can turn towards our pain and let it work in us." EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR PRE-ORDERS... 🖤A Special Compendium of Practices This compendium of practices explores how the Inanna myth is embodied in different practices and sacred containers. It looks at the sacred anatomy of poetry, breathwork, yoga asana and nidra, menstruality, circle work and therapy as soulful supports that can offer holding and insight as we descend and rise. 🖤And if you pre-order before the Winter Solstice (by midnight GMT on the 20th Dec) you will receive an Inanna Yoga Nidra created especially for the book. 🖤Plus an exclusive book mark with all signed copies. Thankyou to @womancraft_publishing and @lucyhpearce for your amazing support and to @artofmaquenda for the cover art. #descentandrising #theheroinesjourney #womancraftpublishing by @carly_mountain

Being ACE is a label that can describe her feelings of not being interested in s//x. But it is a label that also allows her to do what she is already doing - trying to take responsibility for it all! And often, he will let her because it means he can continue to blame her and avoid himself. And so the dance continues. Sometimes this can be worked on in therapy. Other times the marriage/relationship needs to end. And when it does, many women find they are actually horny as hell 🔥🔥🔥🔥 They just needed more time. Touch. Love. Connection. Usually from themselves first! And then many times from a new lover as well. If you have worked with me in circle or as a client you might think, she is talking about me! I am not referring to any one woman in this. I am talking about MANY MANY women. It seems in modern day life where women have taken on more in the home and often at work too this pattern is one that occurs ALOT. My book Untamed Pleasure has more about the cages we might find ourselves in and the keys that can free us. Link in bio. #ace #relationships #women #untamedpleasure by @carly_mountain

The story that women’s bodies and s*xuality are less than, broken or shameful has been so pervasive and impactful on women’s confidence, feelings and pleasure! And the way we are treated by others. I see women wake up from these myths and start to live a different story again and again. Debunk the myths. Embody a different story. Remember your body!

I wish this was taught in schools everywhere. Share it with your lovers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends! Really anyone you love should know. So many women I have worked with exclaim “I never knew this about my own body!”. I am on a mission to change that. Yes women have the same amount of erectile tissue as men. It is just distributed differently. And it takes longer for a woman to be fully engorged on average 25-45 minutes. (Since the average couple has sex for just 8 minutes it’s not surprising many women are not having mind blowing pleasure!). And once she is engorged, she can keep going and have multiple org*sms without the refractory period that men have. Women are erotically abundant. I think that because a lot of women’s erectile tissue is inside, it is not immediately as obvious. You have to go find it! Once you do and you stimulate it, it will flower into arousal 🌺🌺🌺 and make life so much more pleasurable for you and anyone you choose to be with. I think the fact that many women and their lovers do not know this is one of the reasons that the org*sm gap is so wide! Get to know your pleasure anatomy. All this and so much more is contained in my new book Untamed Pleasure available on audio book and from @womancraftpublishing, Amazon or wherever you get your books from online. You could save this reel for guidance - go find a mirror and figure this map out on your own body. And share with a friend who you feel would love more pleasure in her life! ❤️🌺 Untame your pleasure. It’s all at your finger tips. #untamedpleasure #pleasure #womenspleasure #womensanatomy by @carly_mountain

“A prayer. I don’t think it’s about being madly in love with your body. It’s about being. It’s about being. Inside. At home. Being. Not madly loving it and not, not loving it. Not always thinking about your body. But not, never thinking about it. Being. So you can live in your body. Without always being hyper aware of it. Or numbed out from it. Being. Remember your body. Re-member your body. Remember your body. Re-member your body. Remember your body.” ~ Carly Mountain #untamedpleasure #womensbodies #woman #embodiment by @carly_mountain

I have to say at 46 this has been the most untamed I have ever been from the beauty cage. It’s so freeing. But also seeing my daughters find their way through it is painful. It’s such a powerful cage. One we don’t untame from once, but so many times in a life time. Holding spaces where women release themselves from the “beauty” shackles and myths forever gives me heart and strengthens a new story. The one where we just get to live inside our bodies and feel grateful or even just feel so inside that we don’t even think about it anymore! Untame. #untamedpleasure #beauty #beautymyth #untamed by @carly_mountain

So often women take on the restrictions in our voices to be a lack of confidence or failure in ourselves. imposter syndrome puts all the responsibility and shame onto women. As if it’s women’s problem and failing! It is so important to realise how much bigger than that it is! The suppression of women’s voices is old and deeply oppressive! I have spent many years working with the voice and its power. For many years, I had no idea that my own voice was so restricted. And as it gradually came to light, I embarked on an internal odyssey to unshackle and reclaim the layers of my voice and expression. And I have worked with many many women to do this in their lives. What are the stories you carry around your voice? Whose voices inspire you? #voice #impostersyndrome #womensvoices #women by @carly_mountain

UNTAMED PLEASURE has made it to grow yoga, YES! Carly’s work has always found me at the most perfect times, I think the first time I engaged with Carly was ‘The Pleasure Promise’ which was early 2022. This was probably one of my first experiences of some proper education of my body, and was around the same time as I was studying my Yoga Therapy diploma. From that point, I was hooked on her work and the experience of the feminine. Last year amidst some monumental changes in my life, I was part of a 6 month circle with Carly. Her first book, Descent and Rising, provided me with a map of a journey of descent that I was going through, and her circle was something that held me together as I explored a completely unexplored part of myself. Since March, I’ve had a couple of womb yoga groups active at grow. In these groups we explore our body through the lens of Yoga, but there’s more. At Yogas heart is also a revealing of truth, a liberation from what binds us. So, naturally, we shed light on the patriarchal / capitalist / colonialist realm that we are part of and explore different ways of relating - to ourselves, our bodies, our cycle, our pleasure, our life cycle and feminine journey. I originally sourced this book from Carly as a support for the womb yoga groups but soon realised that this could probably benefit most women who step foot in this space. Fast forward to now, and I’m part of Carlys untamed pleasure sanctuary, a beautiful online portal where we work with the themes of this book. Grow Yoga is now stocking Untamed Pleasure, and I’m so happy about it! This isn’t just the selling of a book, its sharing a body of work thats been so pivotal to my own journey & which will have definitely had an imprint on the Grow Yoga we know and love today. Thank you Carly for bringing your work to the world and into our beautiful space! I’m sure the gang at Grow are going to love it. £12! Just ask me for a copy after class & for the womb yoga gang, this will be one of our resources for the next meet up!! 🥹🥹😍😍 Love Elisha by @carly_mountain
