Ogden, an author, licensed marriage and family therapist, diplomat in sex therapy, and practitioner of ceremonial shamanism conducts groundbreaking healing work through shamanism, and talks to Pratt about how shamanism offers us the critical element in finding the path through our wounds to the robust, sacred and fun sexuality our shamanic ancestors enjoyed.

Ogden discusses ISIS -- her study on integrating sexuality and spirituality – and shares with listeners her breakthrough idea to use shamanic cosmology to organize her findings, thus becoming the first practitioner to effectively broaden the understanding of sexual experience beyond limiting notions of function and dysfunction.
