I am a Courtesan
There are many things in my life that I never thought I would ever do. Like raise a child, by myself. Or run a business by myself. Or host and prepare a Passover Seder, while raising a child and running a business. I never in a bazillion trillion years thought I desired to do any of these things, alone. But, here they all are -- the contents of my life, my days. Now, I - like you -- could choose to be cranky and complain about any one of these things. I mean, come on, people -- now I gotta make a turkey, on top of everything else?

But Sisters, here is where an aspect of what defines me, inhabits me, and orients me, surfaces, winds around my being like wafting perfume, paths a direction as count-on-able and numinous as the North Star, and encases me in the delicious erotic elixir of the exquisite essence of the woman I am.  

I am a Courtesan.
Yeah, you heard me. A Courtesan.  
Whatever do you mean by that, Miss Mama?

Sister Revolutionary: Susan Griffin

Susan Griffin Darlings!!
I recently had the privilege of meeting, in person, my icon, my inspiration, my heroine, Susan Griffin. She is the author of a book that has had a huge impact on my life and work, "The Book of the Courtesans". Susan is one of the great seductresses of the English language. She can spin a word, a phrase, wind around a sentence, and extract the hot molten core of her subject while slowly weaving you inside her erotic spell.

Fluff of the Month

This month, Mama wants you to take your inner courtesan on an ultra luxury shopping spree, but don't buy a thing!

What turns you on?
Jewels? Gowns? Manolos?

Revel in the beauty of these items. Try on your favorites, gaze in the mirror, and savor the image of yourself so richly adorned. 

Feel how you shift as a result of this experience.

Take it higher: Do this with a girlfriend!

Sister Goddess Spotlight: Sarah C.
 
Once upon a time there was a woman with the perfect life. The perfect marriage. The perfect kids. The perfect appearance of the perfect life.  Just perfect.
Except that it wasn't.
Her husband was never around.
And when he was he barely paid attention to her.
But one day she found her way to the School of Womanly Arts and everything changed....

Sister Goddess Theater Club: Ruined
Ruined Calling all New York Sister Goddesses! Yo Mama wants you to run to see this play--

"The world's devastation, the world's prayer, and the world's salvation...in two hours." -- Mama Gena.  

Says Lynn Nottage, the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, "This play really celebrates the optimism, hope, and the brilliance of women."

Ask Mama

Mama Gena Dear Mama,

I've met a guy I really like, but he is very, very wealthy, and I'm not. I'm a successful career woman, but I live in a one-bedroom, badly furnished apartment and drive an old car. I feel he is out of my league. Do rich guys want rich women?  
Signed, Alice

Dear Successful Alice-

Congratulations on finding yourself a guy that you really really like! Well conjured! But -- What I am hearing, here, is not an issue of economics. It is a question of value: your value to yourself.

Pleasure Boot Camp

Mama Gena and Anne Davin So, I NEVER do this kind of thing. But, because of my best pal Lyddie being pals with the woman who runs the joint at Kripalu, I got seduced into co-facilitating a seminar with my genius friend, Dr. Anne Davin over July 4th weekend. It is called Pleasure Boot Camp. This is really designed for your pals who have never stuck a toe into the sweet rapid waters of the Pleasure Revolution, but I promise it will be a blast for those of you who want a refresher, too.
