196. CHALLENGING PURITY CULTURE: Sexual Shame + Judgment is out. The Erotic + The Holy is in, with Dr. Marc Gafni.

In this episode we are continuing this very important conversation -- challenging the ethos of "Purity Culture" and offering a new shared story of values.

Dr. Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, and passionate philosopher. He is known for his “source code teachings,” including Unique Self theory, the Five Selves, the Amorous Cosmos, A Politics of Evolutionary Love, A Return to Eros and Digital Intimacy. He is author of over twenty-five books, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, as well as Orthodox rabbinic ordination.

Dr. Gafni is the Co-Founder and Co-President of the Office for the Future, the Center for World Religion and Philosophy and the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. At the core of their shared missions is the articulation and delivery into culture of a Great Library - in multiple forms - which participates in evolving the source code of consciousness and culture in response to the Meta Crisis. 

We are so excited to be doing this podcast with Dr. Marc Gafni. 

We live at a time where our online information ecology is broken, for that reason I am providing you with a couple of links to help clarify any issues that might arise if you’re searching online and run into controversial claims regarding Dr. Gafni. 

The first is a podcast with Dr. Gafni, his partner Dr. Kristina Kincaid and Aubrey Marcus entitled Healing the Wounds of Culture.

About the Podcast

The Medicin
Healthy relationship supported by healthy body / mind / spirit
The Medicin is all about creating deep, healthy, passionate love - with your partner AND yourself. They are not separate. We know from direct experience.

We (Mimi + Chase) were childhood sweethearts, married in our early 20's, spent 3 yrs of marriage figuring out that we had nothing figured out. In 2016 we actually separated + legally divorced, thinking we'd never see each other again. And after 3 yrs of intense self-development, discovery + personal epiphanies, we organically reunited in 2019 - with a whole new outlook on love, Source + the real Medicins of this life.

Now we are passionate about helping others create fulfilling relationships + lives by digging into the transformation work waiting to happen inside each of us. Healthy relationships start with a healthy YOU, and we are here to help - uncovering + discovering with you.
