Dear Yoni

by Lisa Picard

DEAR YONI is a novel about a young woman's journey from unconscious, to conscious sexuality. DEAR YONI is lighthearted, funny and irreverent. Sometimes it's naughty... sometimes downright scandalous! It's also uplifting and often deeply touching. DEAR YONI is written in the form of a pillow an intimate collection of letters and memories written by Jess, as she tries to make sense of her relationships, her sexuality, her experiences and her life. Is DEAR YONI for you? Have you ever felt a deep yearning for something... more... in your sex life? More intimacy, a deeper connection, a desire to be completely seen, and met, by your lover, on every possible level? Have you ever thought, just like Jess does, that there surely has to be more to sex than simply a mutual scratching of an itch, or a momentary, short-lived release? Do you yearn to connect your sexuality with your spirituality? Do you feel, on some soul-deep level, that there could be something deeply sacred about your sexuality? Something that remains forever tantalisingly out of reach in 'normal' sexual interactions? Then this book is for you. Because, as you will discover, there really is much, much, oh, so much, more to sex!

About the author

I am an ex-corporate warrior who, like several of the characters in my first book, The Green Lady, had a deeply transformative experience in the forests of South Africa’s Garden Route. You can read all about it on my website. This life-altering experience led to my leaving my city life and corporate job and moving to a remote smallholding, high up in the mountains, on the border of the beautiful indigenous forest. My life partner, fellow author and spiritual healer, Arn Allingham, and I built our off-the-grid home with our own hands. It is my greatest joy to share my love of, and connection with, the forests with others through my writing.
