This week’s revolutionary is Vanessa Cuccia, creator of Chakrubs—the original crystal sex toy company—and author of Crystal Healing & Sacred Pleasure: Awaken Your Sensual Energy Using Crystals and Healing Rituals. Vanessa is currently following her lifelong passion for music and working on an album.
In our discussion we cover everything from paranormal experiences and quasi-cults to how reconnecting with the body helps to heal from trauma and how spiritualists were confused about why someone would make a sex toy out of crystals.
