    <![CDATA[<p> The irrepressible founder of a hugely popular &quot;school for goddesses&quot; shows you how celebrating your sensuality can help you achieve your dreams. <p> You've heard the saying &quot;Do what you love, and the money will follow.&quot; Mama Gena takes that sentiment one step further, and exhorts women to do what they love because <em>everything</em> will follow -- success, romance, wealth, fulfillment. Profiled everywhere from <em>The New York Times</em> to <em>The Conan O'Brien Show,</em> relationship expert Regena Thomashauer (a.k.a. Mama Gena) urges women to learn this simple principle: self-indulgence is the key to self-empowerment. <p> But in order to pursue pleasure, one must know pleasure. Believe it or not, most women can't pinpoint what really makes them happy. After all, are women ever taught to celebrate their appetites, whether it's for chocolate ice cream or a more entertaining sex life? In her &quot;School of Womanly Arts,&quot; Mama Gena transforms ordinary women into glowing Sister Goddesses -- women fully in tune with the mystical, creative power of their sensuality -- and teaches them how to use their creative power to build the life they want. She explains the lost art of giving in to desires (even if it's just for a new lipstick), seeking fun and plea-sure at home and at work, and navigating the world using feminine power instead of patriarchal rules. This is pleasure boot camp, and be forewarned, the exercises are tough: assignments include flirting for fun, flexing your intuition, buying yourself presents, bragging about your accomplishments, and much more. Sister Goddesses report magical results: they get job offers, fall in love, find new possibilities and passions.  <p> <em>Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts</em> will help readers across the country recognize and unleash their full feminine potential -- and have a great time doing it.</p></p></p></p>]]>
