Join Jerry and John in the latest episode of the Mindfully Gay Podcast as they continue the conversation about sex, sexuality, and intimacy within the gay and queer community. Airing on January 3, 2025, this episode explores the profound potential of sex as a form of healing and transformation.

Sex and intimacy are often avoided topics in queer spaces, shaped by societal influences like the Christian construct of what sex “should” look like. Jerry and John challenge these perspectives, encouraging listeners to view sex through a distinctly gay lens and uncover its immense capacity for personal and communal growth.

The episode delves into the practices of Sex Magik, Tantric Philosophy, Kundalini Yoga, and Shamanic Rituals, exploring how these ancient modalities can open up consciousness and transform our relationship with sexuality. By moving beyond traditional limitations, they reveal the abundant possibilities for healing and authentic expression found in embracing our sexual power.

Intrigued? Tune in for this enlightening discussion and let it spark your own curiosity about the healing power of sex.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Mindfully Gay Podcast, John and Jerry explore the profound value of plant medicine, inspired by Jerry’s recent journey to Peru. Together, they unpack the growing mainstream awareness of plant medicine while delving into its historical, cultural, spiritual, and holistic significance.

But this conversation doesn’t stop at plants. John and Jerry broaden the idea of “medicine” to include practices like yoga, fitness training, and other rituals that help us feel better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They reflect on their personal experiences and invite listeners to consider how daily habits, ceremonies, and even queerness itself can be a source of healing and transformation.

How can we uncover our own medicine? What stories no longer serve us, and how can we rewrite them? This episode invites you to embrace the unique “medicine” of your queerness and unlock your potential.
