Creating a culture of care in sexuality workshops with Catherine Hale
Épisode 54
lundi 15 juillet 2024 • Durée 44:25
Catherine Hale is a pioneer in creating workshop and event spaces with care and safety at the core. She calls this ‘a culture of care’.
The sexuality workshop scene is evolving with ongoing revelations of unethical, unprofessional and often dangerous practice. Shining a light on bad practice is essential, and so is defining and promoting best practice.
We had this conversation to explore how the sexuality workshop scene has changed over the years, the risks of intense, cathartic processes, why safety in the nervous system allows you to go deeper, the importance of integration and how to choose the right facilitator for you and much more.
Catherine shares:
How the sexuality workshop scene has changed
The difference between the gentle and the intense, cathartic approaches to sexual healing in sexuality workshops
The importance of safety within sexuality workshops
How workshop spaces can re traumatise people
The difference between hyper and hypo sexuality and how this plays out in workshop settings
Why the most sparkly shiny looking workshops may not offer the deepest healing and transformation
How high intensity workshops match our societal conditioning around sexuality
What a culture of care is and what that looks like in a workshop setting
The importance of integration
How creating safety in the nervous system creates a base for deeper erotic exploration and lasting transformation
How to establish if a facilitator or a training is right for you
How a regulated nervous system supports you to be with uncertainty
Catherine is a qualified trauma coach, sexological bodyworker, and postmenopausal woman who understands what it takes to heal and grow from the inside out. Her trauma-informed perspective focuses on reducing the harm of internalised capitalism in our bodies and businesses, recognising the need for radical rest in business, and unlocking the power of post-traumatic growth.

The power of sexual energy for men with Graeme Waterfield
Épisode 46
lundi 30 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:06:57
Today is a big day!! Graeme and I are heading off to the UK Independent Podcast Awards where the Love, Sex and Intimacy Podcast has been nominated for awards in 2 categories so send some good vibes our way!!
I am very excited to be off to London and to meet fellow podcasters. The UK Independent Podcast Awards created a new category for podcasts focused on sex and relationships. Podcasting feels particularly important at this time when there is so much censorship on social media, especially in the arena of sex.
Myself and so many of my colleagues are committed to providing quality information, to helping people and contributing to making the world a better place. Yet, every week I see shadow banning of posts and accounts disappearing overnight and in many cases these have taken years of dedication to grow. As we are at the mercy of big tech in this way, podcasting is an essential space to freely have conversations that are censored elsewhere.
This is also why it really helps to spread the word about the podcast so that I get more gorgeous messages like this!
"I’ve been loving your podcast, Sarah Rose Bright! It’s really helped me in my relationship. Thank you SO much for putting such quality content out there"
I would so appreciate it if you can follow the podcast, leave a 5 star rating on Spotify or Apple and if you have the time, to write a short review on Apple. It also really helps spread the word about the podcast so people can find it organically.
It felt good to put out an extra podcast episode out in celebration of today. You, beautiful listeners, asked for more conversations and perspectives from men and here we are!
In this episode with Graeme Waterfield, we talk about the power of sexual energy for men. Graeme has been working with Taoist sexual energy practices for two decades and he now supports men through his course ‘Sexual Energy Mastery for Men’. Graeme talks about what sexual energy is and why it is important, the healing power of bringing sexuality from the unconscious to the conscious, how to start working with this, his views on ejaculating/not ejaculating and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation!
