Pleasure Is the Portal: Bringing Your 2026 Mantra to Life
Episode 224
Friday, 19 December, 2025

As we close out 2025 and stand at the threshold of the Winter Solstice, this episode offers a gentle, embodied way to meet the year ahead.If you’ve chosen a word or mantra for 2026 but it hasn’t quite landed in your body yet, this one's for you.In this final episode of the year, Dianne explores why pleasure is the missing link in manifestation and how intentions come alive when the body is included.Inspired by the idea that affirmations are most powerful when we’re “in the vortex,” this episode translates manifestation into the language of the nervous system, breath, presence, and sensual embodiment.Inside this episode:Why your body must believe your mantra before it can unfoldHow pleasure creates the internal safety needed for creationWhat it truly means to be “in the vortex” from a somatic perspectiveA gentle embodied practice to help your 2026 word come aliveThis is a threshold episode. A moment to slow down, soften, and allow your next season to emerge from within.✨ If you’re feeling the pull to be supported in this work, the Solstice portal into the Vital Goddess Mastery is open for a few more days.
