About this episode
What would it look like to live a life guided by pleasure, rooted in connection, and in service to the Earth? In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is joined by artist, activist, and mystic Samantha Roddick to explore the sacred nature of sex, eroticism, and embodiment—and how reconnecting to our life force can help us live more fully, more freely, and more in alignment with our true values. Together, Sarah and Sam dive into the archetype of the Nine of Pentacles, examining how real abundance is built through intimacy, integrity, and interdependence. Sam shares her path from reshaping erotic culture through her London-based store Coco de Mer, to supporting Indigenous-led resistance movements in Brazil. Along the way, she reminds us that culture is a form of protection, and that pleasure (at its core) is a political and spiritual act. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why eroticism is a sacred expression of life force How pleasure, activism, and embodiment can coexist What it means to decolonize intimacy and reclaim your wildness How Indigenous wisdom offers a blueprint for the future The power of slowing down, listening, and remembering who you are This is an invitation to reimagine success, reclaim your sensuality, and return to the sacredness of being alive. oin the Moon Studio community: Join the Moon Studio Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudio Buy the 2025 Many Moons Lunar Planner: https://moon-studio.co/collections/all-products-excluding-route/products/many-moons-2025 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://moon-studio.co/pages/newsletter Find Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/ Upcoming Events [London]: August 9th: Intuition For Right Now: Regain Trust, Build Confidence, and Heal Old Wounds August 10th: Integrating the Gifts of Your Spirit: An Archetypal Deep Dive and Regression with Sarah Faith Gottesdiener
