E44 Soul Sisters talk Strippers, Ancient Temple Memories and Ritual Dance with Anna Maria Flynn

Anna Maria and I have known each other for 13 years, and in this episode we trace the whole thread. We go back to the fairy temple home we shared, where we made art and costumes, performed at lifestyle and arts festivals, and felt ancient temple dance memories begin to stir in our bodies. We talk about working as strippers side by side, what the club taught us, how we dismantled shame and reclaimed the erotic, and what it is to live comfortably in a naked, primal body. Then we follow it forward into the work we hold today: womb shamanism, ritual dance, and Anna Maria’s global dance school, Eclectica. She also shares about her first book, “Undressed”.
