Present Woman
Our Pleasure, Our Power
Summary
The book Present Woman: Our Pleasure, Our Power (2023) is an honest and rare first-person account for female seekers and curious men. A woman in her twenties embarks to discover her sexuality and learns how her journey towards pleasure affects her career, her attitude to money, and her relationships.
Narkis Alon participates in sexuality workshops around the world, leads entrepreneurial workshops, marries her true love, undergoes an Ayahuasca ceremony, gives birth, speaks at the U.N., and explores and affirms the connection between fulfillment and pleasure. Through the accompanying booklet, readers are invited to embark on a personal journey to discover their own pleasure, awaken their body, and express the creativity stirring within them.
Narkis Alon is a social entrepreneur, content creator, and bestselling author. She leads workshops in Israel and abroad on female leadership and the body-mind connection in business organizations and academic institutions. She created and hosts the podcast "Playing with Fire" on the subject of healthy sexuality and manages a virtual community of tens of thousands of men and women who share on such topics as relationships, sexuality, and gender. She co- founded Double You, an international leadership community that encourages women to lead social and business initiatives with community support. She was selected by Calcalist as one of the leading social leaders in Israel and by the American Real Leaders magazine as one of 100 visionary leaders in the world.
