The Womanism Way
Knowing-> Believing-> Becoming
The Womanism Way™ is the justice-centered methodology within Erospirituality™, the embodied healing praxis. The Womanism Way of becoming is informed by practices of radical self-compassion, the radical self-permission, and radical responsibility to heal and center your perception of your Self. The concept of erospirituality was first introduced by Randolph J. Bowers in 1996 (Erospirituality: Sex, Ecology, Evolution — The Ontopoetics of Soul). Mx. Lena Queen, LCSW, M.Ed. takes up that thread and extends it into a decolonial, trauma-informed, pleasure-affirming daily practice, grounded in Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Malidoma Some, and the sexological research of Dr. Tracie Q. Gilbert. Ersopirituality guides survivors, the erotically curious, and the practitioners who hold space for them from shame and disconnection into embodied safety, self-trust, feeling desirable, and reconnected to their wholeness. Where a "method" implies a clinical product, a Way names a lived path — one rooted in womanism, the Black feminist tradition that centers the wholeness, spirit, and erotic life of Black women, students experience The Womanism Way™ through Erospirituality Centre's offerings, including Queen's signature healing intensive, Healing the Erotic Self™, and its self-study course, Erotic Living.
Experience The Womanism Way with EC's offerings of erotic intelligence masterclasses, healing and learning intensives, retreats, and self-study courses.
