Experience Sacred Sexuality through movement, breath, sound, touch and visualisation, a monthly drop-in workshop series with Bibi Gratzer
 

  • Did you know that pleasure can heal guilt, fear, and loneliness? 
  • Do you want to increase your confidence, and connect with your body without shame and limitation? 
  • Did you know that sex can be a portal to tap into non-ordinary states of consciousness through which you can pursue spiritual awakening?

Sexual power is the capacity to use sexual energy to create and deepen intimate connections with yourself and others, and to have healing, transformational sexual experiences that fulfill us on a soul level.

However, sexual power often invokes judgment due to unhealthy, even abusive, ways of expressing this power or denying the naturalness of this power altogether. 

The result is that many of us experience shame, guilt, and fear in relation to sex. 

“Working with Bibi has been a life-changing experience. She holds really safe spaces which gives room to explore more vulnerable parts of ourselves.”

Do these questions resonate?: 

  • Do you feel ashamed for being sexual? 
  • Do you feel ashamed for not being sexual enough? 
  • Do you have body shame or can’t get out of your head during sex? 
  • Do you experience performance anxiety during sex (eg. you think you are orgasming ‘too soon’ or ‘too late’; you are not hard, or not wet enough)? 
  • Do you feel afraid of hurting others or being rejected if you’d asked for what you truly wanted? 
  • Do you sometimes have sex even though you don’t actually want to? 
  • Do you want to learn how to be more intune with your partner’s feelings and desires during sex? 
  • Did you experience sexual abuse and feel you can’t ever let yourself ‘fully go’? 
  • Do you feel physical pain during sex? 
  • Are you ashamed of having sexual fantasies?

If you answered one or more of these questions with yes, then this is for you. 

The aim of this monthly workshop series is to offer guidance and empower you to up-level your relationship to your own body, your genitals, and to your sexuality, trusting that you can ride the waves of ecstasy. 

Channel your sexuality into healthy expression and let yourself be witnessed in releasing shame. With the support of each other, we can finally break free from the stigma around embodying our sexual power.

How will you benefit?

More pleasure in your life

You will be more mindful of pleasure vs contraction and will receive practices to help you increase your capacity to allow and experience pleasure. You may experience new orgasms that you didn’t know your body was capable of having. You may experience profound orgasms, and experience sex as a tool to transcend your sense of self. 

Personal growth

The more often you participate in this monthly workshop, the more you’ll free yourself from performance anxiety, shame, guilt and other fears, and feel more confident and loving towards yourself and your own body. Here are a few qualities you might develop when you take this sexual growth journey: courage, grit (perseverance and passion), self-love, resourcefulness, and confidence.

Relational growth

You will become more mindful during sex, and have a range of tools that will increase your fun, joy and pleasure. You will deepen your sexual experiences together through fundamentally changing what you both bring to sex, and how you communicate about sex.

Change of narrative

This work may bring up difficult emotions and sexual trauma, and thus may change who you think you are. It may also change your perception of sex as we’ll examine preconceived ideas about sex. We’ll change the narrative from ‘sex is something you do’ to ‘sex is a place you go’. It is a powerful tool for transformation and higher states of consciousness.

Workshop Flow

Each workshop will have a different theme and follow a similar format:

 ---

“A very instructive talk. I have discussed it with my partner and we were very pleased to see that we are actually going along the right lines in many ways, but that there is so much more; that a relationship between two minds has a universe of depth to it. We are so much looking forward to our new adventure together!”
