The Pleasure of our Nature with Samantha Roddick Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

What would it look like to live a life guided by pleasure, rooted in connection, and in service to the Earth?

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is joined by artist, activist, and mystic Samantha Roddick to explore the sacred nature of sex, eroticism, and embodiment—and how reconnecting to our life force can help us live more fully, more freely, and more in alignment with our true values.

Together, Sarah and Sam dive into the archetype of the Nine of Pentacles, examining how real abundance is built through intimacy, integrity, and interdependence. Sam shares her path from reshaping erotic culture through her London-based store Coco de Mer, to supporting Indigenous-led resistance movements in Brazil. Along the way, she reminds us that culture is a form of protection, and that pleasure (at its core) is a political and spiritual act.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why eroticism is a sacred expression of life force
How pleasure, activism, and embodiment can coexist
What it means to decolonize intimacy and reclaim your wildness
How Indigenous wisdom offers a blueprint for the future
The power of slowing down, listening, and remembering who you are

This is an invitation to reimagine success, reclaim your sensuality, and return to the sacredness of being alive.
