We are delighted to host Jorge Ferrer for a third episode on the Mangu.tv podcast series.
Jorge Ferrer PhD, is a Spanish-American psychologist, renowned for his pioneering work in transpersonal psychology and the integration of spirituality and sexuality. A former professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, he developed a participatory approach emphasizing embodied relational and pluralistic understandings of spiritual and sexual experiences. Ferrer coined the term Novogomy to describe relational models that transcend the traditional monogamy polyamory binary, promoting more inclusive and authentic connections. His notable works include Love and Freedom and Novogamia, where he explores the intersection of love, freedom, and spiritual intimacy. Through his international counselling practice, Ferrer supports individuals and couples in navigating infidelity, jealousy, sexual incompatibilities, and open relationships, aiming to foster conscious and fulfilling intimate lives.
Jorge supports in unpacking a recent tantra retreat, in which Giancarlo was asked to leave during his level two training. They discuss the catalyst of this decision: Giancarlo's unease with one of the workshops and Jorge shares from his perspective why it may have been uncomfortable for him and for the school.
Jorge and Giancarlo discuss sustaining a monogamous relationship through sexual encounters without orgasm. Jorge speaks about abuse of power, sexual repression and sexual deconditioning. He shares his views on a society that's increasingly in the mind and acting in an addictive, compulsive way, and the importance of integration of instinctual wisdom with our consciousness and the values of the heart.
