The 8-Week Journey
REWRITE
-
Explore the inherited beliefs, cultural conditioning, and shame that shape our relationships with sexuality, desire, and pleasure. Situate our personal stories within the broader histories of patriarchy and colonization, including the exoticization, sexualization, and dehumanization of Brown bodies. Begin to untangle what we’ve inherited from what feels true to us.
-
Reconnect with your inner knowing and draw inspiration from the group to explore what you wish you’d been taught about sex and sexuality. Reimagine what it means to claim and embody your erotic power in a world that has often sought to shame, oppress, or define it for us. Explore what it means to you to be both a sexual and spiritual being.
-
Deepen your awareness of sensation, emotion, and the signals your body communicates. Explore your body’s unique landscape of sensation, including erogenous zones and the kinds of touch you enjoy. Learn to recognize and honour your body’s no so you can more clearly feel and trust your yes.
-
Explore the role your nervous system plays in your capacity to experience pleasure. Discover what becomes possible when you slow down, become present, and open yourself to receiving. Explore the subtle but powerful difference between receiving and allowing.
-
Get to know your genital anatomy and cultivate a more compassionate, curious, and pleasurable relationship with your genitals. Explore the foundations of genital dearmouring, bringing awareness to sensation, tension, and the emotional imprints our genitals may carry from our own lives and across generations.
FEEL
-
Get curious about your desires, longings, and the parts of you that may have learned to stay quiet. Explore fantasy as a doorway into your inner world, and practise connecting with your wants, honouring your boundaries, and expressing what you desire.

INTEGRATE

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Faaria Meghji
MSW, RSW
Somatic Therapist ✦ Erotic Empowerment Guide
For nearly a decade, I’ve supported people in connecting with their bodies, emotions, and inner truth. My work draws on my training and experience in Hakomi Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Ancestral Medicine, Somatic Sex Education, and Sexological Bodywork.
Why I do this work? For erotic empowerment.
For much of my 20s and early 30s, I didn’t realize how much shame and fear I carried around my sexual nature, or how much of my life force energy I had unconsciously suppressed. I longed for pleasurable experiences that felt empowering and aligned with my heart and soul, but I did not know how to have them.
But how could I have known? So much of what we need to understand about our bodies, desire, and pleasure is rarely taught—especially by people who share our cultural backgrounds and lived experiences. Shame, silence, and cultural conditioning can make it difficult to explore the fullness of our sexual selves.
I also experienced vaginismus, a common condition involving involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles that can make penetration painful. Through my healing journey, I discovered that my genitals held ancestral memory - the rage, grief, and fear of generations of women in my lineage and culture who experienced forced or obligatory sex. This deepened my understanding of how our personal and ancestral histories can shape our relationship with sexuality and pleasure.
Over time, I’ve discovered far more pleasure in my body and genitals than I ever thought possible. I’ve become more connected to myself and the world around me. I feel empowered to express my sexuality in ways that feel true to me, trusting my ability to honour my boundaries and voice my desires and needs.
My sexuality is no longer about pleasing the male gaze or meeting someone else’s expectations. It’s mine to enjoy.
I’m still on a path of learning, uncovering, and owning my sexuality and erotic power. I believe there is always more to discover! What I offer comes from my professional training, my lived experience, and my ongoing curiosity about what it means to inhabit our bodies and sexuality more fully.
I’d love to share what I’ve learned so far and continue exploring alongside you.
Pleasure is how the body hears “I love you.”
Let’s receive that love
for ourselves, for generations past,
and for generations to come.

FAQs
IS THIS FOR ME?
-
Thank you for your interest! This group is intentionally centred on women with South Asian heritage. If you don’t identify with these communities but feel drawn to the work, I’d love to connect. Book a consultation and we can explore whether individual sessions might be a good fit, or discuss the possibility of a future group that better aligns with your needs.
-
While previous experience with somatic work can be helpful, somatic inquiry is an ongoing journey. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin. If you’re curious about deepening your relationship with your body and sexuality, trust that curiosity.
-
No. Your sexuality is yours, whether you’re single, partnered, sexually active, or not. It’s a dimension of yourself that you can explore in your own time, on your own terms, and in relationship with others if and when you choose.
-
You are always welcome to share what feels comfortable for you, and there’s no expectation to disclose anything you’re not ready to share. Part of cultivating an empowered relationship with yourself is learning to honour your yes, your no, and everything in between. You’ll also have the option to submit questions anonymously to be explored in the live sessions.
-
Live sessions will not be recorded to help protect the privacy of everyone in the group. If you know you’ll be away, you can arrange with another participant to share notes or connect privately to reflect on the material and revisit any practices that are appropriate to do together. If you have questions about the material, you can also reach out to me by email.
-
Exploring sexuality can sometimes bring up emotions, memories, or experiences that need extra care and attention. You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, honour your limits, and lean on the self-care practices and support systems that work for you. You can also book an individual online therapy session with me, or connect with your existing therapist, for additional support.
-
Because this is a small, intimate group with limited spaces, course fees are non-refundable. Before enrolling, you are welcome to book a consultation call to explore whether the group is a good fit for you and ask any questions you may have. If concerns arise during the course, I welcome you to reach out so we can explore how best to support you.
