Witness the power of unfolding, of passion becoming prayer; feel the touch of skin to skin, of lips meeting in exploration; travel past obstacles and fears of sexual intimacy, past the mourning of what has been lost, into healing of what has been broken. Welcome the pleasure of all the senses, of souls meeting in the fire of embrace.This book invites you gently to dive deep into the timeless world of love and sex in a surprisingly new way. It reaches out to readers of all genders and gender-orientations, who are searching for new perceptions, more awareness and richer expression of sexual relating to oneself as well as to others.The stories are based on real-life events. The characters and their adventures provide a mirror to discover for yourself (and your partner) what feels good and what does not, what is true for you, what you might want to explore.This is a document of possibility and choice.‘This book seems to have a wisdom of its own. It took me on a journey where I could feel, sense, smell, hear and even taste what I read, in my own body. It’s a must for everyone interested in love practice.’Elly de Laat, somatic sex educator‘Isa surprised me with this original open minded book. She is a talented writer, and blew me away with her stories written in a cinematic, pure and sensitive way. A must read book!’Elizabeth van den DriesPublisher/Author
