Podcast // Tamica Wilder
In this enlightening episode of the Luka Lesson Podcast, I sit down with Tamica Wilder, a remarkable individual whose work touches on some of life's most profound experiences. Tamica is the co-founder of 'Neosoma' and the founder of 'Orgasmic Mama', bringing over 15 years of experience as a Kinesiologist and EFT practitioner to our conversation.
Throughout our discussion, we explore Tamica's journey in facilitating transformational spaces for people from all walks of life. Her unique approach helps individuals attune to the innate wisdom of their bodies and magnify their authentic sexual expression.
This conversation delves into topics that are often considered taboo but are crucial for holistic well-being and self-discovery.
Key points we touched on include:
• The concept of body wisdom and how to tap into it
• The importance of authentic sexual expression
• Tamica's work with 'Neosoma' and 'Orgasmic Mama'
• Creating safe spaces for personal exploration and growth
• The dangers of the 'tantra industry' and red flags to watch out for
• Navigating the complex landscape of sexual wellness and personal development
We delve into a critical discussion about the potential risks within the 'tantra industry', highlighting the importance of discernment and safety when exploring these practices. Tamica shares valuable insights on how to identify trustworthy practitioners and avoid potentially harmful situations.
As always, I was deeply inspired by our guest's insights, and this conversation led me to create a poetic response titled 'Love Made This', which you'll hear at the end of the episode.
This episode promises to be both enlightening and potentially life-changing for listeners, offering new perspectives on self-love, body awareness, and personal transformation, while also providing crucial information on navigating the wellness industry safely. Tune in to expand your understanding of these vital aspects of human experience and gain tools for protecting yourself in your journey of self-discovery.

Make love
with sweat beads like planets
orbiting around your bodies
With their name engraved across your chest
Your spine is the Himalayas
and their shoulder blades
two peaks of the Andes
Let the dust hang in the room
as you slowly split the atom
all migration patterns and rocking boats melting into
sweat and salt water
the tides purge through you:
breaking and revealing
breaking and revealing
breaking and resealing
And when you've finished deep-breathing the world back-together
keep their skin stuck beneath your
fingernails
as you walk home
between the rubble
There is no guilt in this
to know you have been loved
is to know what you were made of
March between the judgement of holy men
and those who have lost faith
in ever finding love again
make love despite them
to spite them
and next time:
do it for them
This world is full of reasons
to crawl into our corners
and whisper the word
Love
like it was a sinful curse
Other people will try to give you rules on how to love
what time is right
with who
and in what position:
on your knees praying to the patriarchy
or bent over a false sense of beauty
And when it's over
they'll smile at you like British housewives and say
"Oh, I guess your love just didn't work, did it darling!"
but love is always working
love is the hardest working word that we have
it’s a mother’s patience
a revolution’s reasons
a lost child’s instincts
A soldier with a photo of his love
folded in his fist
placing one
broken foot
in front of another
crawling out of the trenches
on his way home to that love
Love
is what has kept us alive
Remember?
That day when she looked at you
with just a hint of Aphrodite
back when you were half a Casanova
standing nervous by the bar in your new haircut
and way too much cologne?
This has been going on forever
for millions of years us organisms have been doing
this dance with evolution:
parasites dating pathogens
Now they’ve proven that sleeping with someone
just once
means that a part of their DNA
actually becomes a part of yours
and you
look like at least 50 people
(that I’d love to fall in love with)
Remember?
When we made new languages together
on nocturnal nights
in bedrooms
from Melbourne to Mississippi
kissed our ways out of trouble and torment
forgot our own names for hours at a time
Remember?
When it was over and we tattooed poetry
on the dead bodies
of our love affairs
Now
old historians with stockings and foot fetishes
say it is the history of wars
that have made us who we are
but love is how we survived it
And on my hardest days all I need to know is that
deep in the rules of the galaxy
love exists
That even in quantum physics
opposites attract
That the Big Bang was a climax
That dolphins make love for fun beneath the waves
undulating with the seaweed
and that same sex love is found within some of our greatest species
because love
is love
is love
is love
is love
is love
is love
is love
is love
and it always has been
There is no guilt in this
to know we have been loved
is to know
what you are made of.
