Men, Sex, and Pleasure with Cam Fraser

On today's episode I chat with a dear brother of mine, Tim Morrison. He is a leading Mens work facilitator and transformational coach, he is also a multi instrumentalist and gifted shamanic, somatic bodyworker who uses sacred sound and breath to create deep transformational spaces Tim guides people on the path of personal transformation. He initiates a deep inner journey to walk people home to themselves, to connect back to the earth, back to who they truly are so they can live and lead from their heart. His passion is to walk through the shadows of deep change. Tim is building a transformational movement where everyone is guided to consciously lead within their own life, so they can live a life of purpose and fulfilment in their own genius. Tim was initiated onto the shamanic path from spirit and plant medicines, along with having trained in breath work, jungle medicine with the Katukina tribe of Brazil and worked with the Shipibo and Mestiso lineage in Peru. His focus now is on expanding consciousness and deepening human connection. We talk about the intersection of men's work and sexuality as well as the transmission of sexuality teachings in the Tantra community. Key Points: - Tim's journey from fighter to warrior - Being that creepy, seedy, sexual guy - Parental wounding and sex - Men teaching men about sex - Tantric Gurus and sexual abuse - Ethical standards in sacred sexuality work - Neediness, weakness and sex - Holding space for the erotic feminine - The difference between conflict and challenge Relevant links: Tim's Instagram: @timmorrison__ Cam's Instagram: @thecamfraser
