Bio
Regena Thomashauer, better known as Mama Gena, is a pioneering voice in women's empowerment, a bestselling author, teacher, feminist icon, and the founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement.
 
For more than three decades, Regena has devoted her work to restoring what has been systematically stripped from women: our connection to the body, our desires, our emotional lives, and our right to want more. At the heart of her teaching is a radical truth: pleasure is a form of power. And when a woman is fully expressed – in her body, her desires, her voice – she moves differently. She tolerates less and expects more. The stakes of her life become visible, and she responds accordingly.
 
This work is rooted in lived experience, decades of research, and the real-world results of hundreds of thousands of students. It has changed the way women relate to themselves, the standards they hold, and the lives they are willing to claim. Regena is the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Pussy: A Reclamation, and has been widely recognized as a leading voice in modern feminism.
 
Regena's approach is both deeply personal and unmistakably collective. In a culture that shames our bodies and suppresses our emotions, her work serves as a vital antidote that offers not only tools for survival, but a pathway to turn-on, truth, and full-bodied liberation. Her conviction: that the feminine, long suppressed, is the force that will change everything. These teachings don't just challenge the status quo. They transform it.

Bio
Kimberly Phoenix-Coffin is a trauma-informed intimacy, relationship, and Tantra teacher, speaker, co-author, and coach, co-founder of Phoenix Rising Retreats, and host of the Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples podcast.
After decades of disconnection shaped by trauma, self-doubt, and survival-based relating, Kim devoted the last decade to deep healing. embodiment, and the reclamation of her body, truth, and life through extensive work with Layla Martin, Mama Gena, Ma Ananda Sarita, and other world-renowned teachers.
Her work blends Tantra, nervous system awareness, and somatic, embodiment-based practices, rooted in lived, personal experience. Her story is a journey from numbness to pleasure, from self-doubt to sovereignty, and from disconnection and survival-based relating into a deeply connected, consciously chosen partnership rooted in truth, communication, and erotic aliveness.
She brings this work not as theory, but as something she lives daily… in her body, her relationship, her choices, and her leadership.
Now, at 50 years old, she lives and teaches what she embodies… guiding individuals and couples into deeper intimacy, honest communication, and full-spectrum aliveness.
Together with her partner Roberto, she leads immersive Tantra couples retreats in North Kawartha, Ontario, Canada, designed to reignite the flame that date nights can't… where connection, safety, and erotic aliveness meet. Their work supports couples in rebuilding trust, deepening connection, and awakening erotic intimacy that is both grounded and expansive.

How slowness retrains patterns while intensity causes shutdown

Why men need as much safety and self-love as women do

The one book Devah says every man should be reading

 
Bio
Devah Curlechéile is a sex, intimacy, and sensual embodiment guide whose journey began in Ireland. 
 
Raised Catholic, he felt from an early age that life held far more than what he had been shown. After graduating with a degree in Neuroscience from Trinity College Dublin, he left Ireland at 25 and began a decades long global quest to explore the deeper mysteries of human potential, consciousness, energy, and healing.
 
Over 20 years of travel and study, Devah immersed himself in a range of practices, including Reiki, Sound Healing, Tantra, meditation, shamanic medicine, conscious intimacy, EFT, and tantra massage. His path was shaped by various initiations, including breaking his back twice, navigating depression, sitting with large doses of the various Entheogen's, integrating suppressed parts of himself through transformative experiences in Tokyo's conscious kink underground, and studying tantra and tantra massage in Bali with Ma Ananda Sarita. 
 
Along the way, he also discovered the extraordinary potential of intimate connection with himself and others to open transcendent states of consciousness, cosmic orgasm, and deep embodied awakening.
 
Now based on Kauai, Devah feels deeply called to help others reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, awaken their senses, and access greater intimacy, healing, and expansion. Known for his compassionate heart, grounded presence, and nurturing approach, he creates spaces where people can feel safe, seen, and held in reverence as they explore, rediscover, and remember these pleasurable dimensions of embodiment.

Why orgasm should be non-negotiable in your relationship

The most common relationship problem women face

What it looks like to leave religion and embrace spirituality

How to become multi-orgasmic after years of shutdown, no matter your age

 
Bio
Talaina is a sexual liberation guide and relationship coach who helps individuals and couples move beyond shame and shutdown into their deepest capacity for pleasure, intimacy, and authentic connection.
 
She transformed her own loving, but nearly sexless, marriage into a deeply connected, thriving relationship that is now a powerhouse of intimacy, emotional depth, erotic vitality, and orgasmic bliss. 
 
By unraveling layers of repression shaped by religious conditioning, family dynamics, and societal messaging, she reclaimed her body, her desire, her voice – and ultimately, her life.
 
Now, she guides others into intimacy that is fully expressed, deeply connected, and truly alive. Talaina's work integrates nervous system regulation, advanced biofeedback technology, erotic awakening, and spiritual growth to create profound, lasting transformation.
 
She believes a liberated life is what happens the moment you stop abandoning your truth… and start living it fully and freely.
