“We are going to dance later Sim, come in and join the group. You can pull a card.”
“Dance! No, I don’t think I will be dancing.”
“Yes beautiful! It is going to be fun.”
I had just arrived at lululemon, and although I was late for the premier of “Sacral Seduction,” the founder Azaria Stephenson lovingly invited me in. I was instantly immersed in the world of divine feminine energy! The women were so welcoming, and there was a calmness that made me feel instantly at ease. “Sacral Seduction” is a feminine empowerment space that focuses on the cultivating of divine feminine energy from within.
“I help women understand their divine feminine power and educate them on how to use it to create the life they desire,” Azaria shared with me.
“I want women to come into this space and connect to their divine feminine energy by using techniques that involve artistic movement, community connection, self-love, compassion and self-actualization.”
Azaria is a Sensual Intimacy Coach, Creative Curator and Speaker who uses her performances and events to create a safe space to discuss vulnerable and challenging topics such as: sexual assault, childhood trauma, self-actualization and more.
“I am in the business of cultivating women’s confidence through their feminine energy,” Azaria shares.
“As a woman, I was always chasing society’s idea of success while I was exhausted, frustrated and angry at the world. When I discovered my feminine power of intuitive guidance, abundance through love and passion for being me; I was able to create a clear blueprint of the life I desire without being overworked. I believe by using your femininity to cultivate a joyful life fulfilment is attainable. Hence why I do the work I do.”
In conjunction, Azaria has been working on the music side of her business, and as you know, music costs money. Someone advised her to utilize the talents that she has to make the extra money that she needs.
“So as I was brainstorming, I was thinking about how and why I do what I do.
The sacral chakra (element is water) is how we manifest. We live in a masculine world, so without us knowing it our sacral chakra is drained. We stay in this survival mode, which is very root chakra. Sacral is how I found my foundation, and learned how to manifest from there.
The only way you get something in life is you seduce it. I put up the name, and someone commented, “That is an amazing brand name.” It started as an event idea, but I wanted people to go home and feel loved. I wanted to build a community where people feel whole.”
Azaria shared something powerful with me; she told me that God chose the women who chose to be part of this event.
“They are women who have empowered me and taught me something. I knew that they would share something great. It wanted a holistic feel for the event. They are really good at transformation. They take something and make it what they want it to be.”
She had a great group of women to support the event. I had a chance to interact with: Annie B (Afrofit), who had the women sweating, Francine, who helped us learn how to move through confidence, and LaToya Browne, who allowed women to share intimately in a safe space.
She also had amazing sponsors who gifted us with special goodies to take home. In my bag were goodies from: Custom By Care, Steep & Mellow, Love Story Coaching, Swayy, Moore Than Hair, and Clean Slate Fitness and Wellness.
I will definitely be going to the next Sacral Seduction, which is happening on August 21st, 2022 at a secret location. Women will have a chance to do positive affirmation work with Azaria, write a letter to yourself with Life Coach LaToya Browne, and talk about the techniques, tools and stories around how we gain confidence in being authentically ourselves and getting the value we deserve in the areas of career, money, love and more.
“I am not afraid to be who I am. I stopped apologizing for being myself. I want women to openly love their bodies, love themselves. It is about you, being all you are unapologetically.”
