The Rose Woman – Details, episodes & analysis

Unlock your sensual awakening with author and tantrika Henika Patel. In this episode, dive deep into the world of Tantra, sensuality, and the divine feminine.

Henika is the Founder of the School of Sensual Arts. She is a first generation Indian Woman born in England and grew up in a household abundant in the ancient Indian arts, with an ex-monk turned artist father. After studying English and French law and experiencing numbness and depression following a series of losses, she left the corporate world and returned to her roots where she spent several years living and studying in Asia, learning from incredible guides in India and the Far East. Upon returning to England, she began her studies in arts therapy and clinical psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and now combines tantra and yoga with western therapeutic guidelines to create safe spaces to connect more deeply, express more freely and love more intimately through Tantra, Yoga, bodywork, dance and art. As an indigenous practitioner, she is also a thought leader on the topic of cultural appropriation of Tantra and yoga and provides education on driving more cultural appreciation in the wellness world through her workshops, retreats, programmes and social media.

Sensuality is about more than just pleasure. Sensuality is an innate power that can help you to tune in to your body, mind, and spirit. To be sensual is to know yourself so intimately that you can move through life with confidence and clarity, deeply connected to the fire within.

Whether you're new to Tantra or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers a rich tapestry of wisdom, personal stories, and practical guidance for awakening your sensual nature and reclaiming your divine feminine power.

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.
