Stephan Niederwieser: "Sexuality and Identity"

Stephan Niederwieser

Workshop So03: Sunday, Oct. 23, 2016, 11:00 am – 01:00 pm

Sexuality is much more than a vehicle for the continued existence of mankind. Through sexuality, contact is made with a counterpart. It is communication on a physical, emotional and mental level. This is the reason why physical closeness, touching, body warmth of another human being, as well as being seen, are reason enough to activate unpleasant, painful or traumatic experiences within us. If we are not able to assign these feelings to the initial scenario and situation, it seems reasonable to give the other person the blame. The consequences are relationship problems and further emotional splitting as well as sexual disturbances preventing us from having a pleasurable and fulfilling sexuality.

In this workshop the point is, to understand the meaning and function of sexuality beyond mere reproduction. After a brief overview of the development of sexual maturity, I will discuss the requirements, on how to develop a healthy relationship with our body, to our genitals, to our partner and to our own sexuality and which experiences can interfere with this inner bonding. Using a series of case studies, I will show what consequences overwhelming experiences can have on sexual development.

Following the lecture, I offer the possibility to learn about the perhaps unrecognized potentials or even experienced oppressive encounters of one's sexuality and integrate them if possible. Interested participants will be selected in a draw.

Anamaria Draguta: "Who am I without my partner?"

Anamaria Draguta

Workshop Sa11: Saturday, Oct 22, 2016, 02:30 – 04.30 pm

This question came to me a few years back, while I was contemplating my life and how it had changed after I met my partner. Looking at the choices I made, the role that he plays in my life and how I transformed from who I was to who I am. In a healthy partnership, it takes three to tango—two "I's" and a "we." The notion of "we" is talked about all the time, but often the importance of the "I's" are overlooked. Without two healthy "I's", there can be no successful "we." A traumatized "I" or a lost connection to one’s sense of self can likely lead to dependency on a partner to assume responsibilities, consequently resulting in indirect and distorted ways of expressing our feelings. 

This workshop invites you to accompany me in this ongoing journey of rediscovering our “I” and to explore together how the need for closeness and security can co-exist in our quest for separateness and freedom. How a healthy “I” can make a better “we”. As the poet Rumi once said: “Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.” We are in each other all along.
