Sexuality & Spirituality -- Greta Hassel lecture at Center for Healthy Sex - YouTube Center For Healthy Sex

Center for Healthy Sex presents a lecture by Greta Hassel: "OH MY GOD!!! The Intimate Relationship between Sexuality & Spirituality" "The Sex Experts" is a monthly professional lectures series for sex therapists and specialists to workshop and refine new material that they've been working with in an informal setting before their peers. Any particular statements expressed herein represent the views of the presenter(s) only, but not necessarily the perspective of Center for Healthy Sex (CHS). With this lecture series, CHS intends to explore important issues and encourage conversation within the therapeutic community, as well as provide a platform to emerging voices. Lecture Description: For better or worse, sexuality and spirituality, or more directly, sex and religion are inextricably linked. For millions of Americans that link comes in the form of repressive programing from the Church leading to the widespread by-product of shame and guilt. As a result we are experiencing what Dr. Oz calls "the silent epidemic of the sexless marriage." If your clients grew up in Christian or Catholic, conservative, fundamental or evangelical traditions, then healing the split between Spirituality and Sexuality is most likely integral to their sexual healing and wholeness. For example, it may be helpful for them to understand that the concept of sex as sin (which for many clients blocks access to sexual pleasure) is not a teaching of the Bible. Rather, it has its roots in a fourth century man's personal sexual conflict--a conflict that has literally altered the course of Christendom and civilization. This and other key insights reflect the changing tide towards wider acceptance, and even celebration, of sexual pleasure. Greta will be addressing such topics as: • How we got here: A fresh look at Biblical origins and history • Interventions for treating shame and guilt • Current trends in Sacred Sexuality Greta Hassel is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Intimacy Coach and Sexual Educator. Her Master's Degrees in Divinity and Psychology are the foundation of her lifelong study of Modern Psychology, Ancient Wisdom and Sacred Sexuality. Additional training includes Clinical Sexology with Dr. Patti Britton, Integrative Body Psychotherapy with Dr. Marjorie Rand, The Art of Conscious Loving with Charles and Caroline Muir in Esalen, and Tantric Kriya Yoga with Bodhi Avinasha. She is the creator and facilitator of "The Fire and the Fragrance" and "Love, God and Sex", weekly empowerment groups for women. She leads workshops on "Compassionate Communication", based on Non-Violent Communication. Her background, commitment and passion equip her to facilitate healing the painful conflict between the pleasure of sex and the repression of religion.
