Book cover

Part memoir, part trauma-informed guidebook for personal transformation, Leslie Blackburn’s Sacred Sexuality: Listening to Our Bodies is also an inspiring adventure story and a down-to-earth look at how a body-centered spiritual awakening can help us unfold into more authentic, creative and sexually fulfilling lives. 

“While so many sex educators use a language that is chillingly medical, highly intellectualized, or harshly excerpted from the commercial raunch culture that flavors so many articulations of contemporary sexuality, Leslie Blackburn speaks from a place of joy, giggles and wisdom.” 

~ Jane Fader, Author, Producer, Director


“I have to say, as a writer and teacher, I really like your style. You are a clear, loving, lovely writer and I can tell that you teach with so much integrity, always leading people back to trust and knowledge of themselves.” 

~ Rachel Jamison Webster, Professor of Creative Writing at Northwestern University and author of Mary is a River.
