In this provocative and poetic episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik is joined by embodiment mentor and ritualist Jessi Marino. Together, they unpack what it means to reconnect with our animal nature, tap into orgasmic instinct, and awaken to the felt experience of being fully alive. Jessi shares her personal story of illness, burnout, and radical reclamation—and offers insights on how to come back to the body with honesty, curiosity, and trust. The conversation explores the relationship between pain and pleasure, the disconnect from self in modern culture, and how reclaiming our sensual sovereignty transforms everything from intimacy to emotional resilience.
 
About the Guest:Jessi Marino is the founder of Wild Essence, a witchy movement devoted to guiding people back to their sensual vitality and embodied truth. With over two decades in the healing arts, she weaves together ritual, somatics, and soul expression to midwife deep transformation. Her work supports clients in moving from shame to sovereignty through radical self-honesty and reconnection with the living intelligence of the body.
Key Takeaways:


Our “animal nature” is a sensory intelligence we are designed to live from—not override.


Disconnection from the body can manifest in chronic stress, numbness, and relationship dysfunction.


True intimacy begins with embodied honesty—trusting the felt experience of now.


Reclaiming aliveness is less about fixing and more about remembering and receiving.


Sensual embodiment is not separate from spirituality—it’s the doorway to our deepest truths.
