'A genius writer' FABULOUS MAGAZINE

Explore your sensuality

Discover your inner power

Reclaim your sexuality

with this gentle and mind-opening journal by sexual priestess and activist Lucy-Anne Holmes.

When Lucy-Anne Holmes was in her mid-thirties, she had an epiphany about sex: she realised that she hadn't even skimmed the surface of how fulfilling it could be. So, she took herself on a sexual odyssey. Ten years on, after countless explorations, sex festivals and workshops, she was initiated as a sacred sexual priestess. She now shares everything she has learned about how liberating and empowering sexual self-knowledge can be.

Guided by Lucy, on each day of the 28 days you'll be invited to read, to write and to do something around the following themes: Your Love, Your Body, Your Sex, Your Intimacy, Your Desire, Your Pleasure, Your Power, Your Playfulness, Your Surrender, Your Sacredness, Your Vision.

This book features a host of activities to discover and play, including: activation mediations, touch practises, sex magic, self-pleasure experiments, sex audits, games to play with friends or lovers, plus opportunities to get creative and express your sexual self through various artforms, and much more.

Consider this your own personal pleasure school. Prepare to be wowed and enlightened, inspired and excited as you acquaint yourself with the glorious uniqueness of your sexuality.
