Rewilding Eros: Belonging, Community & the Untamed Nature of Our Sexuality with Christiane Pelmas

What if nothing about you is broken or “too much”?

What if you already belong — exactly as you are?

In this expansive and deeply human conversation, Rahi Chun sits with author, mentor, and founder of the Institute for Erotic Intelligence, Christiane Pelmas, to explore rewilding, belonging, and the untamed nature of our erotic embodiment.

Together they question one of the most invisible forces shaping our lives: the pressure to fit in.

From childhood conditioning to sexual norms to professional identities, we’re taught to domesticate ourselves — to trim our edges, suppress desire, and conform.

But what happens when we stop trying to fit… and remember that we already belong?

Through stories of community potlucks, fire circles, mentorship, erotic friendship, psychedelics, trauma healing, and dismantling rigid ethical boxes, this episode invites us into a more ecological way of being — where sexuality, intimacy, and connection are wild, relational, and alive.

Inside this conversation:

• Belonging vs. fitting in (and why they’re opposites)
 • Rewilding the body, desire, and community
 • Trauma as a rupture in belonging
 • Why healing doesn’t have to be “hard work”
 • Erotic friendship and breaking relational compartments
 • Community gatherings as medicine
 • Psychedelics, embodiment, and expanded intimacy
 • Ethics as an internal, lived experience (not external rules)
 • Returning to our indigenous language of connection

This episode is less a teaching… and more an invitation.

To soften.
To question.
To remember your place in the living web of life.
