The Way of the Witch with Eva Clay20 avr. 202600:44:46

Step into this one with your whole body, not just your ears.


On this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, we’re joined by someone who lives right at the crossroads of soul, sexuality, and science: Eva Clay. She isn’t here to offer cliché “tips and tricks” — she’s here to invite you into a deeper, more intelligent relationship with your own pleasure, power, and aliveness.


Eva is an acclaimed somatic psychotherapist, sexologist, speaker, and founder of the Institute of Intimacy Arts. Grounded in both clinical rigor and embodied practice, her work focuses on the integration of soul, sexuality, and science. A former professor of neuropsychology, she brings a sophisticated understanding of the brain, nervous system, and human intimacy, offering a clear perspective that intelligence and eros are fundamentally intertwined.


She’s guided thousands of people toward deeper embodiment, relational capacity, and access to pleasure and vitality. Rooted in somatic science and over two decades of training in classical and sexual tantra, her work invites a return to sensation, truth, and aliveness. She creates spaces where the nervous system can soften, guarded patterns can release, and satisfying intimacy can emerge.


Eva has a particular passion for guiding women in the midlife portal to claim agency, power and pleasure.


If you’re curious about what it really means to live erotically awake—beyond performance, beyond pathology, and beyond old stories—this conversation is for you.

Amy is considered an expert in healing individual, family, and collective trauma and has been a pioneer in introducing trauma-informed development and psycho-spiritual principles into leadership programs.

Founder of Dancing Freedom, Peacebody Japan, and One Life Circle, she has trained hundreds of facilitators worldwide.

Linda Tucker: Mystic, Protector and Founder of the Global White Lion Trust22 mai 202400:37:09

After being rescued by a Tsonga medicine woman from a life-threatening encounter with a pride of lions in 1991, Linda Tucker gave up a career in international marketing to become a conservationist.

Since this time, she has dedicated her life to the urgent protection of the critically endangered White Lions, venerated as the King of Kings by African elders. Despite their rarity and cultural importance, the White Lions have no protected status and may be trophy hunted in the wild and in captivity.


To ensure the survival of this legendary animal, Linda Tucker has raised millions of dollars in a long-term strategy to secure large tracks of protected wilderness territory in the heart of the White Lions’ ancestral heritage lands, in the epic-centre of UNESCO’s Kruger-to-Canyons Biosphere, one of the last viable lion ranges on the planet.
