Love, Evolved: Conscious Relationships with Leigh-Anne LoPinto

It is a deep and profound honor to welcome my teacher, Shannon Port, onto the podcast, who shares generously with us about the path of the true Divine Feminine. This episode is not to be missed and is a potent stream specifically for our listeners.In our conversation, Shannon shares how she came into this work from an early age, the unfolding of her life’s work and magnum opus, and how this path has been one of leaning way in to relationships, love, heartbreak, and living and learning all of it.She makes important distinctions between the feminine and masculine spiritual paths (honoring all of it), and brings this work squarely back to relationships of the heart.Shannon Port has been teaching and sharing with the world a profound body of Feminine Archetypal Wisdom for the past two decades through the Divine Feminine Wisdom Teachings in Light Body Yoga and Light Body Woman. Art of the Feminine is a Cosmic Feminine Stream received by a true Female Initiate who has been working in the frequency of the Goddess since birth. Shannon has lived these Mysteries and has traveled the deep feminine path of Goddess Initiation, working closely with the Divine Feminine Spiritual Hierarchies, to restore and regenerate The Inner Mysteries of Divine Love on Earth. Through her heart and her Word, she shares this transmission as her soul’s mission. The work here has been lived, tasted and fully integrated and digested. It is beyond sacred and holds the Divine Feminine Impulse for the coming Age of Venus and The Goddess Epoch.In this episode, Shannon covers:- the trajectory of her life’s work since childhood- her embodied initiations, and the path of the solar feminine- why spiritual growth is about alchemy, not bypassing - especially within love and sexuality- why the feminine mysteries have been left out and are a critical missing piece- how the woman’s heart is the mothership that births, sustains, and redeems life- why Shannon’s work is an expression of a living lineage—not theory, but transmission through embodimentI can’t wait for you to listen.

In this episode, I cover a great question from someone in my community group The Visionaries - she asked about how to heal sexuality from a parts work perspective.I cover five different shadow parts that I see often in my work with people, along with a way to begin integrating on your own. However, I highly recommend working with a trusted professional as well within this topic of sexuality.We cover shame, promiscuity, withholding, performative parts, and numb/dissociated parts. These are so common, that I’m sure you will be able to relate to at least one, but probably more.Towards Sexual Sovereignty is a great companion article to this episode, as I mentioned.As always, please reach out with any questions or comments (or share them in the comment section below).

I gave you a little taster at the start of this episode, and can’t wait to begin on summer solstice.

I cannot believe this is my first full episode about breathwork!  This practice has completely changed my life, and has healed things that years of therapy were not able to fully heal.  Seven years in, I'm still going strong.I have seen this CUT THE WORK IN HALF (if not much faster) with the individuals and groups that I work with.I am so grateful to my teacher David Elliott.We are living in urgent times, and don't have years to waste anymore.  I believe that breathwork is a vital practice - it brings us to the heart of the matter.The type of breathwork that I teach is a longer style done lying down. The breathing is done all through the mouth.  We breathe for 25-30 minutes with a short rest period at the end to integrate.The benefits include:- moving stuck emotions and trauma up and out- deeply opening the intuition and connecting to something higher- getting clarity on things the mind cannot figure out- somatic and energetic healing and clearing- strengthening your connection to God/the Divine- opening the heart and feeling more connected to life and people around you- bypassing the mind to get deeply into the body, heart + intuition- clearing out energetic imprints of abuse (huge for me!  I share my story)This is the most in-depth teaching I have given on breathwork.  I include pro tips for having the best experience and why now, more than ever, we need to clear the fog in our life to get to the truth of who we really are.Please try breathwork!  I have tons of resources below for you to get started today.  Message me on Instagram or email me and let me know how it goes.Breathwork Intro + DemonstrationThe Benefits of BreathworkLos Angeles In-Person Breathwork (Saturday Nights)My Story, Part OneThe Type C Personality (Why We Breathe)Breathwork Audios (Full Sessions)Spiritual PracticeHeart Opening BreathworkReparenting BreathworkMother EarthConnect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.
