Live in Zurich Switzerland “The Energetics of Intimacy, Attachment and Sexuality” Discovering the subtleties of relating intimately


 In English with German translation

This program is one of a multiple part “Full Embodiment” series developed by Ariel Giarretto, MS, LMFT, SE Faculty and Somatic Sex Educator. Full Embodiment (FE) is designed to help all people find ease, pleasure and acceptance in all parts of their bodies. It asks “who am I underneath all the historical, social, cultural, religious beliefs that shaped me? What is my most authentic relationship with my body, my sexuality, my sensuality? What is getting in the way of more fulfillment in relationships?”

This course focuses on the connection to self and the body, while being in proximity with others. You do not need to be in a couple relationship to get great benefit from this program.

Course Description:

Through the lens of SE,  attachment theory, and current sexuality studies, I’ll combine lectures, videos, research, small group discussions, and movement, plus an array of gentle, respectful exercises to make for a rich and varied program.

The goal is deeper connection to self and others, healthy attachment, clear boundaries and greater freedom to explore your sexy self playfully, in new and different ways, without shame.

It is appropriate for:

• Individuals, either coupled or not, and actively sexual or not

• Couples wanting to improve their physical and emotional intimacy

• Anyone who wants to heal attachment wounds and discover new capacities to receive and give pleasure with self and others

• People hoping to change old traumatic patterns and find satisfying relationships 

• Practitioners and therapists who work with any of the above

After the weekend participants will:

  • Recognize how your attachment style, old traumas and social conditioning sabotage  satisfying intimacy, and how you can begin to heal this

  • Access the more subtle levels of relating that occur under conscious awareness

  • Recognize what happens in your body energetically, emotionally and physiologically when you get close to others

  • Learn tools for staying present and embodied, so that old traumas or future worries stop interfering with the safe pleasure in the moment

  • Learn how to set boundaries, identify preferences, and master new ways of receiving and giving

  • Identify, and embody, healthy and genuine desires and yearnings, and notice what gets in the way of opening to them.

  • Gain deeper clarity on what you like and want (along with what you don’t want) from encounters, and how to communicate those.

  • Expand and uncover your playful, erotic self
