Sacred Sexuality with Bibi Grazter

 

Have you ever wanted to live a more orgasmic life?

Are you ready to feel more empowered sexually and claim your sexual sovereignty? 

Do you want to feel pleasure unashamedly without threatening your sense of safety?  

Relationship and Sex Coach, Bibi Gratzer, envisions a world where sex and eros are celebrated and sacred so that we can become more authentic, safe and free in our expression of who we truly are. To make sex sacred again, means to connect sex with virtue and to recognise sex as a mystical act that connects us with life and death itself. 

If you agree with Bibi that sexuality is an important part of human relating, you might also agree that sexuality is a foundational part of healthy relationship dynamics with ourselves, our soul, and our relationship with others. Also science backs this up (scroll down for more on this!).

 

Who is this for? 

  • This is for all those who want to either heal something in their sexuality, or who want to increase their capacity to experience pleasure. This is a trauma-informed and safe space, however it important to state that you are responsible for looking after your own mental health.
  • This is for all those who recognise that there is something missing in the stories we have been told about sex (it's secret, forbidden, dangerous, slutty, etc.), and who are ready to re-write these stories and reconnect sex again with the sacred, the holy, the Divine.
  • This is for couples and singles. Price is per person even if you are using only one account to login.

This event is for women, men, non-binary, couples, singles.  All genders and gender non-conforming people welcome.  The only prerequisite is that you are willing to participate in the practices, even if they may seem a bit odd or different initially.

If you have experienced sexual trauma and you haven’t integrated this trauma (eg. never talked about it or never done any work on this trauma before), please contact Bibi Gratzer before you book onto the course. This course is supportive in healing sexual trauma, but I strongly suggest to have a few 1-2-1 sessions before or while you join the course to actually integrate the trauma. This course is not a replacement for trauma-work.   bibi@bibigratzer.com  
 

Where does science come into it?

Research shows that regular sexual practices with an intention and devotion, can significantly improve mental health (even more so than psychedelics), improve the bonding between two people, and thus have an impact on our overall life satisfaction, happiness, and family life. 

Sex often leads to mystical experiences and flow states. Flow states are essential for creative expression and new ideas, which in return can be beneficial for the status of the world - especially at such a challenging time as now. 

In other words… by having sex, we can help change the world!
 

 

The Importance of Practice 

Many of us might struggle to have what we might deem as “good sex”. Many experience shame, dissociation, fear, lack of desire or knowing what your desire is, as well as physical pain or other physical symptoms - and these might prevent us from enjoying a healthy sex life. 

As with anything, if you want to be good at something, you have to practise. This is a course for those who are ready to level-up in their sex life, and to commit to 6 weeks of practise in this intimate area. 

The system of tantra, as well as other spiritual practices, and neo-tantra have proven to be very helpful in regards to learning how to practice well. In her teachings, Bibi combines sexological body work, and hands-on healing, with ancient tantric practices, such as working with Shiva (the Divine Masculine) and Shakti (the Sacred Feminine), as well as teachings from the Diamond Approach and Conscious Kink. 
 


What to expect 

 Over five weeks, we will dive gradually deeper into Sacred Sexuality practices. You will experience a self-pleasure practice in the comfort of your own home. 

Below is a guide as to the themes we will touch on - these are subject to change based on the individuals in the final group, so you can help steer and mould where we spend our time:

  • Week 1: Foundations, Safety and Unconditional Love: We start with understanding the relationship between pleasure and safety through learning how to work with your nervous-system on a deep level; We will dive into the philosophy of desire and expand your capacity to experience pleasure.
  • Week 2: Meeting & Working with Blocks. We will  work with fear and blocks and learn a method that will support you in unlocking blocks and stuckness so that you can move beyond fear; We will set solid foundations that will help you to stay grounded and rooted in your body
  • Week 3: The Art of Worship: Connecting to your Inner Lover; We explore genitals and heal conditioning around pleasure, religion and genitals so that you will become a living altar, offering your desires and pleasure to the Great Mystery
  • Week 4: Sovereignty: We will dive deep into the 6 Pillars of Holistic Sex and learn how to use each of them for cultivating sexual energy in your body; this will further unlock and help you to stay out of your head and fully experience your body; We will explore and practice self-pleasure as a spiritual practice
  • Week 5: Presence & Power: Sacred Union through Masculine and Feminine Archetypes: Working with "Shiva & Divine Masculine ; This is where we learn how to move energy through the body, and practice non-ejaculative sex for male bodies and deeper and higher orgasmic states for female bodies; We will explore the symbol of the ‘lingam’ (Sanskrit word for penis) and how to feel this energy and use it in sexual encounters with presence and devotion
  • Week 6: Surrender & Ecstasy: Sacred Union through Masculine and Feminine Archetypes: Working with “Shakti & the Goddess”; We will explore female orgasm. You will understand the relationship between feelings and liberated sexuality. We will explore the symbol of the ‘yoni’ (Sanskrit word for vagina) and how to feel this energy and use it in sexual encounters to surrender and open more fully;

 

The course will take place on Tuesday evenings, commencing 29th October for 6 weeks.

Each session of the course will last 2.5 hours, with the main teaching lasting for 2 hours, and the last 30 minutes being made available for individual coaching and Q&A. 

Each week, you will receive practices that you are encouraged to do at home in between the sessions. For some of the homework, you will receive a guided practice. 


What previous participants have said: 

 

"The Sacred Sexuality course was a fantastic experience. Each week we delved deeper into different practices and got to learn at our own pace. 

I always felt like we were in safe hands. Bibi was loving and highly attuned to the group and was able to accommodate to the needs of the group in real-time. There was a great balance between safety and only going as far as one is ready for, while at the same time the encouragement to step outside of our comfort zone. The group itself was also really intimate and cosy. I would definitely recommend the course and look forward to learning more from Bibi." - Anita

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

 

Research Participation (optional)

If you would like to support the research on Sacred Sexuality, we are excited to give you the option to participate in a simple, anonymous study for the duration of the course and up to 3 months after the course. The research simply consists of a series of practices that you will be encouraged to do as part of the course, plus a few questionnaires to fill out on a weekly basis for 6 weeks and then at 1 month and 3 months after the course. We will go over this in Week 1 so you can decide whether or not you would like to take part.


What to bring? 

  • Please make sure that you are undisturbed for the duration of the call (if possible switch your phone off completely). This includes making sure that you are safe to express sounds.
  • I recommend creating a little altar or dedicated space for the duration of the entire course. You might want to buy things or collect things from nature that help you transform your space into a sacred temple, rather than a room. Invest a little bit of time here, it is worth it!
  • Get cosy: create a nesting space with warm blankets and cushions
  • Water (stay hydrated)
  • Tissues
  • Notebook/journal, in case you want to revist certain practices or thoughts
