Guest Bio:

Bridget Von Snaps

Drag Star - Performance Artist - Community Leader

Bridget Von Snaps is much more than a local drag star—she’s a performance artist and community leader in Halifax with a vibrant online persona, creative events, and a signature “Wicked Witch” aesthetic that sets her apart in the East Coast drag scene.

Bridget von Snaps descended upon this world from her native galaxy many years ago, assuming the persona of the sinister sorceress of the eastern seaboard! Her passion lies in fostering a platform for emerging artists to showcase their talents.

The realm of drag has empowered her to be comfortable in her own skin (or someone else’s); as she explores the frontiers of gender and acceptance of all types of drag.
In her eyes, art knows no bounds, and she thoroughly enjoys engaging in the artistic expression that is drag.

Protection and treatment: https://www.nshealth.ca/sti-care-now

PrEP and PEP are highly effective, HIV prevention medications.

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily pill or injection taken before potential exposure to prevent infection. PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is an emergency, 28-day regimen taken after potential exposure (within 72 hours) to stop the virus.

Key Differences Between PrEP and PEP

• PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis):
• • Usage: Taken consistently before potential exposure, usually daily or as required, as explained by Canada.ca and Halifax Sexual Health Centre.
  • Target Audience: Individuals who are HIV-negative and at ongoing risk.
  • Effectiveness: Highly effective at preventing HIV; does not protect against other STIs.
• PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis):
• • Usage: Taken after a potential exposure (e.g., unprotected sex, needle sharing) within 72 hours.
  • Duration: Must be taken for 28 consecutive days, say CATIE.ca.
  • Context: Emergency use only; it is not for ongoing protection.

Important Notes

• Both are prescription medications available from doctors, clinics, or sexual health centers
• If you have a high risk of HIV exposure, you may be a candidate for PrEP, according to CATIE.ca.
• Doxy-PEP is a different medication (antibiotic) used after sex to prevent other STIs like syphilis and chlamydia, but not HIV, explains Ending HIV.

Season 2 Epiosde 5 Beyond the Orgasm: What is Tantra?

Special Guest: Krista Nova

Tantrika - Teacher - Ritualist

Krista's Bio:

At the cellular level, Krista is a Tantrika and seeker of the mystical truths. For over two decades, she has been exploring the esoteric aspects of existence through intensive training in yoga, meditation, the tantric arts, somatic counselling and intuitive healing. She continues her quest through annualstudies with renowned teachers around the world, and by guiding her own students in their thirst for experiential wisdom.

Early in this millennium, Krista completed advanced post-secondary studies in Integrative Energy Healing at Langara College in Vancouver, B.C. This 3 year diploma program infused Eastern teachings with Western scientific energymedicine toward the goal of self-mastery and spiritual development to awaken her healing potential.

In 2005, after a relentless search, she finally foundherself in the right place, at the right time, and discovered the Authentic Tantric Path she had been seeking for so long.

In Tantra,Krista discovered that sexual energy — our most potent innate resource — is apowerful tool for transformation toward the goal of spiritual enlightenment.

For the next five years, Krista embarked upon intensive theoretical studies and practical training at one of the world’s leading tantric yoga institutes, based in Southeast Asia. Her commitment and dedication allowed her to complete theentire program in record time. During these years, she surrendered to the depth of her sexuality, practiced thousands of hours of Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, completed numerous Hridaya meditation retreats, and worked intimately with allof the Maha Vidyas—the Ten Wisdom Goddesses of the Tantric tradition.

She served this tantric community by teaching Tantric Yoga, leading Women’s Groups, and organizing large Tantric rituals.

Since 2011, Krista has been based on the traditional, ancestraland unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Stó:lō andSəl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations also known as Vancouver, Canada, where she lives her heart’s calling to share the gifts of the Tantric Arts.

She coaches 1-on-1 clients and couples as well as teaching workshops, classes and retreats to support herstudents in expanding beyond their limitations, and in awakening their fullest potential. In 2014, she co-founded the Heart of Tantra Festival, which occurs each summer in the Squamish Valley in British Columbia.

Over the years of working with many Tantra teacher’s around the world she has been deeply influenced by Guru-ji Rajkumar of the Bhairavananda lineage for the more traditional elements and Homa and Mukto for the Neo Tantric explorations.

As well as tonnes of other brilliant teachers. She is also immersed in the more westernized studies of Trauma Therapy and Somatic Sex Education. She also works as a Relational somatic Therapist specializing in relational trauma.

Krista’s vision is to create a deeply connected,openhearted humanity. Her students often arrive unfulfilled in their mediocre sexual connections. Dedicated studies under her guidance will allow you to reach pure bliss: the highest state of meditative ecstasy.

The day serves as a reminder of the violence and systemic discrimination that the transgender community continues to face and a call to action to create a safer and more inclusive world. It is by no coincidence that we wanted to have our chat with Veronica Merryfield posted on this day.
