Our Echo
I have been a seeker of sorts my entire life. I have spent countless years following an intuition somewhere deeply embedded within me that ushered me forward. My path was messy, unclear, and quite troubled. It was this way because my inner world was messy, unclear, and troubled. Through trial and error and a well of suffering, angst, and self-pity, I had a few wake-up calls that brought me out of my victimization and into conscious choiceful living.
I was deeply humbled in the darkest of my days.
I can tell you about all of the education I have received, the trainings, the certifications, the programs, the retreats, and the therapy but what has shifted my life's direction is my desire.
My true desire to be a better person, a better lover, and a kinder and more responsible human within the global ecosystem.
That is what finally brought about change. Once I saw the suffering I was perpetuating within myself, and its effect on those closest to me I dove into "The Work" in the last several years it has been my guiding light. My lighthouse.

Luzi Pods
I’m Luzi, Somatic Sexologist, Temple Facilitator, witch & erotic artist. As a somatics nerd & nature lover I feel most alive when I’m naked in the forest. I love facilitating spaces which give permission for our most wild, creative and free expression. I honour the body as life’s true oracle and sexuality as magic. I’m here to feel and pour as much love as I can into the world.
I’ve dedicated my life to Self Pleasure because nothing is closer to my heart. When I fell apart and lost myself, this practice was (and still is) what returns all of me back home. It reminds me of the love I’m made of, every time I put my hands on my body. It’s my medicine, my prayer, my commitment to myself and the people I love.
I believe that working with Self Pleasure is the most radical thing we can do. Loving and returning to the body in a disembodied society is necessary for the evolution of this planet. It’s peace work - it creates a more compassionate way of living and relating. And how needed that is. If I had the power to teach humanity one thing - this would be it.
