Original Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0l5GZtpng4

Today, I’m honored to have on the show: SRA, mind control and sex trafficking survivor and survivor advocate, writer and author of the book, “Quest for Love: Memoir of a Child Sex Slave”, podcast host and content creator, blogger, yoga instructor, educator, entrepreneur and creator of ‘The Unconditional Model’ and ‘Liberation Prison Yoga’, and one of the most requested guests I’ve had on ‘The Imagination’: Anneke Lucas

Anneke Lucas experienced the greatest of darkness in childhood through a series of events that led to her being groomed and eventually sold into sex trafficking, satanic ritual abuse, and trauma-based mind-control behavioral modification programming by her mother. After breaking free from the pedophile network that was trafficking her, Anneke courageously decided to place her entire adult life in the context of trauma recovery. Her 35+ year healing journey included much yoga and therapy. In 2008, she started teaching yoga, and in 2012, began training and organizing yoga teachers to enter into the New York Prisons, which led to the founding and directing of the non-profit organization Liberation Prison Yoga. Sharing yoga in the prisons, the Unconditional Model was developed.

Since 2014, Anneke has led many workshops - training therapists, yoga teachers and others in the Unconditional Model. She travels the world to share her story and teach, including a 10-week online Unconditional Model course “Shifting the Power.” Anneke has a private coaching practice where she sees many survivors of extreme abuse, and also hosts peer support platforms online. She currently has a workshop coming up on June 4th - 5th that I’m really excited to talk about today, and her book, “Quest For Love: Memoir of a Child Sex Slave” is currently available for sale in America on Amazon through her website. I will have all of her links in the show notes.

Anneke’s courage to shine a light on the darkness she experienced as a child has inspired many throughout the years to share their own stories and to not feel so alone, and her work with therapists and in prisons cannot be understated as these are two areas in desperate need of education on trauma and recovery. Anneke naming her workshops ‘Shifting the Power’ couldn’t be more appropriate as she is a living example of shifting the power from dark to light. I’m grateful to have Anneke here and ask that you all grab a pen and paper and give her your full attention.
