Love, Sex & Intimacy

For this first guest episode, I am joined by someone whose work I hold in the deepest respect - Diana Richardson, pioneering teacher of slow sex. For over 30 years, Diana has guided more than 15,000 couples in week-long residential retreats in Switzerland - The Making Love Retreat, which Graeme and I now teach.Diana and I explore what happens when we stop approaching sex as something to perform or achieve - and start bringing it into presence, awareness, and genuine connection. So much of what we've inherited about sex is shaped by urgency, peak experiences, and the pressure to get it right. Diana speaks about how this quietly creates insecurity and self-doubt, and what becomes possible when we simply... slow down.This isn't technique. It's a way of coming home to yourself and to each other.We talk about the difference between ‘having sex’ and 'making love’. About how small, subtle shifts create profound change - and why the most important shift is always the connection to yourself first.We also talk about modern life - parenthood, packed schedules, the challenge of staying genuinely connected when everything is pulling at you. Diana shares her beautiful "love keys” - simple, powerful tools for coming back into connection, and the role of kindness, compassion, and generosity in how we meet one another.In this conversation we explore:- Why slowing down opens awareness and deepens intimacy- How cultural conditioning shapes our approach to sex - often through performance and pressure- What becomes possible beyond peak experiences- Why so many people carry insecurity or self-doubt in their sexual experience- The difference between having sex and making love- How small, subtle shifts create profound change- Creating space - internally and relationally, for connection to unfold- Why presence matters more than quantity- Practical guidance for parents navigating intimacy within busy lives- The "love keys" as simple tools for deeper connection- How embodiment supports not just intimacy, but daily life- The power of honest, open communicationDiana has said that so many of the world's difficulties trace back to a lack of understanding about sex — how it shapes our sense of self, our emotions, our relationships. I believe that too.How we relate to love and sex ripples out into everything - our families, our communities, the world we are collectively creating. And right now, in this moment in history, this conversation feels more alive and more needed than ever.RESOURCES FROM DIANADiana Richardson is widely regarded as a leading contemporary authority on human sexuality and conscious intimacy. A bestselling author on Tantra, her work centers on the union of sex and meditation, and on practical ways this sacred connection can transform intimate life.Diana's approach is grounded in a lifelong exploration of sexuality, love, and meditative awareness. She developed Generative Sex, also known as Cool Sex, an evolutionary and sustainable approach to intimacy. This distilled wisdom is shared through her practical Love Keys, presented in her bestselling book, The Heart of Tantric Sex. For over 30 years, Diana has guided more than 15,000 couples in week-long residential retreats in Switzerland, and she is now launching a Rekindle Intimacy online course based on these highly successful retreats.Websites:rekindletantra.comhttp://www.livinglove.comRESOURCES FROM SARAHDEVOTION is a 5-month journey for women to return home to their feminine bodies, awaken their sensuality and reclaim their true power.

Welcome to Making Love: a podcast with me, Sarah Rose Bright.In this episode I share what's been alive for me in this process, why this name and my vision for the podcast, and, what I believe is one of the most important and under explored conversations of our time - how love, sex, and intimacy are evolving.Love, sex and intimacy are fundamental to life. They are forces that shape how humanity evolves. Over the past few decades, the architecture of intimate life has shifted dramatically and there are new forces shaping modern intimacy from how we date to social media and AI.This podcast asks - what is changing and what is possible? What is breaking through as the old stories break down? What new stories are trying to emerge?I begin to explore:- Why intimacy and relationships are evolving and what is breaking down and breaking through this at moment in history- The significant shifts in how we meet, connect, and live over the past few decades- How social media, technology, and AI are reshaping intimacy- The transition of sex from procreation to recreation - and what lies beyond both- Co-creation as a new model for sexual and relational experience- The suppression and distortion of sexuality - and what we are reclaiming- Sex as a living practice of growth, healing and awakening- The light and beauty of what the erotic can become- Why these conversations matterRESOURCES FROM SARAHDEVOTION is a 5-month journey for women to return home to their feminine bodies, awaken their sensuality and reclaim their true power.

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 changedThe difference between the gentle and the intense, cathartic approaches to sexual healing in sexuality workshopsThe importance of safety within sexuality workshopsHow workshop spaces can re traumatise peopleThe difference between hyper and hypo sexuality and how this plays out in workshop settingsWhy the most sparkly shiny looking workshops may not offer the deepest healing and transformationHow high intensity workshops match our societal conditioning around sexualityWhat a culture of care is and what that looks like in a workshop settingThe importance of integrationHow creating safety in the nervous system creates a base for deeper erotic exploration and lasting transformationHow to establish if a facilitator or a training is right for youHow a regulated nervous system supports you to be with uncertaintyCatherine is a qualified trauma coach, sexological bodyworker, and postmenopausal woman who understands what it takes to heal and grow from the inside out.

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!Graeme shares:What sexual energy is and why it is importantThe healing power of bringing sexuality from the unconscious to the consciousThe difference between ‘down and in’ practices to ‘up and out’ practicesHis views on ejaculating/non ejaculatingHow to start consciously working with your sexual energyHow sexual energy can amplify emotionsThe themes that he sees in his work with menHow he defines masculinityWhat the still face experiment isGraeme Waterfield helps men become all they are capable of being, through understanding and mastering their own sexual energy.

Excited to share this episode with my partner and co-teacher, Graeme Waterfield. We love chatting about intimacy, sex and pleasure and have conversations like this all the time. We share some of the common themes that we experience in our work and also explore what is possible when you shift your attention from goal based sex to presence and pleasure.We explore:What is possible beyond the goal based pleasure that most people learn.How most people learn to ‘do’ sex and the limitations of thatWhy mainstream sex advice is misguidedWhat is possible when we drop inside and meet each other from that placeThe role of the nervous system in connection and arousalWe are now bringing our decades of experience and our 5 years exploring and growing together to our couples programme, INTIMACY which starts September 2023. At the end of the conversation we share about INTIMACY with a special offer for those listening to this episode!You can read all about INTIMACY here. https://www.sarahrosebright.co.uk/intimacy/After reading the info, if you have any additional questions or you would like to book a 30 minute call with Graeme and I to see if INTIMACY is right for you both, please message me.About GraemeWith 20 years of experience as a teacher and coach and having been on his own 30 year journey, Graeme Waterfield has come to see what helps people evolve and heal physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.Being a qualified Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gung & Meditation teacher with a background in counselling, Graeme offers completely unique packages of somatic, psychological and energetic tools to help you transform yourself and your life to become everything you want to be.He has come to see that we all have a unique set of skills, our own unique soul expression or purpose. Once we can awaken and identify this, we can turn our life into a masterpiece. Graeme noticed that people often don’t maximise their potential as human beings because they haven’t yet learnt to harness their mental, emotional and spiritual power.This is how he can help support you in your own growth.

To help you break free of self-imposed limitation and create your own unique experience of heaven on earth in your relationships, work and life.‘Actualise yourself,’ was Steve Jobs’ final instruction to all who attended his Stamford memorial service. ‘Self-actualisation’ is the name western psychology gives to personal enlightenment. It states that if we don’t become everything we are capable of being, we will feel like a failure and live an unfulfilled life.As your trainer, Graeme will guide you into this self-actualisation and show you how to meet your greatest potential as a human being. Using ancient technologies and modern psychological approaches to awaken your inner potential, supporting you in finding the power to overcome adversity and maximise all areas of your life.RESOURCES FROM GRAEME https://www.facebook.com/graeme.waterfieldhttps://www.graemewaterfield.comRESOURCES FROM SARAH Sign up to Sarah’s newsletter so you can find out about the latest podcast episode and get pleasure mapping, a guided audio practice

Lauren is the founder of “Restore Your Core” (RYC®) and creator of the RYC® method for resolving core and pelvic floor issues.I invited Lauren on the podcast as pelvic floor issues are so common and they can have a huge effect on how a woman experiences sex, pleasure and intimacy. So many women experience issues like prolapse and incontinence and can feel fear and shame.To me, the saddest thing is that these issues are not talked about enough and so many of them are preventable. I know if I had had more knowledge I would not have experienced a prolapse so it is important to create space for these conversations.I personally came across Lauren’s work on my journey of healing my prolapse and found RYC to be such a well put together programme and I could feel the difference in my body from building the strength in my core.Whether you have pelvic floor concerns or you want to know how to look after your pelvic floor, there is something here for you. I am delighted to share Lauren’s work and her wisdom.Lauren shares:The common issues that Lauren supportsHow common pelvic floor issues areWhy there is nothing to ‘fix’ when you have a pelvic floor issuesThe difference between a ‘weak’ and a hypertonic pelvic floorHow the healing journey can take timeWhat to do if you find you are not getting the support you would like from your doctorWhy so many women can take years to reach out for supportRestore Your Core’s unique ‘whole body’ approach to pelvic floor issuesHow Restore Your Core trainers support women to access their own ‘felt sense’When a pelvic exam is appropriateHow shame can impact pelvic floor issuesHow to look after your pelvic floorWhy the health of your core is so importantAdvice on sex with a prolapseLauren Ohayon is the founder of “Restore Your Core” (RYC®) and creator of the RYC® method.

Today I’m delighted to share this powerful conversation with Christiane Pelmas. I see Christiane as a wise woman and elder and she works as a mentor and guide with women and women’s communities. I deeply value Christiane’s grounded wisdom and the medicine she brings. We covered so much rich territory and I could have gone on for hours! Christiane shares her story of ‘eldering’ and how life in her 50s keeps getting better, reframing orgasm as a ‘threshold’ rather than a full stop, self pleasure as a place to alchemise feelings and emotions, the difference between ‘sexual’ and ‘erotic’, the story of Eros, what women’s community needs to thrive (this one surprised me!), what ‘feminine leadership’ is, how to thrive in the ‘tension’ of current times, listening to how you can meaningfully participate in life at this time and the complexity of the nervous system in consent and why statements like "even a 'maybe' is a 'no'!" don't work. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.Christiane shares:Her story of ‘eldering’ and how her life is changing in her 50sReframing orgasm as a ‘threshold’ rather than a full stopA glimpse of the space beyond the ‘threshold’ and ways to explore this spaceDecolonising orgasm - reclaiming your pleasureSelf pleasure as a place to alchemise feelings and emotions and experience wellnessThe difference between ‘sexual’ and ‘erotic’ and why its important not to conflate themThe story of ErosWhat Eros isThe difference between life force and ErosWhat women’s community needs to thrive - this one surprised me!How ‘conflict’ can be generativeRedefining leadershipWhat ‘feminine leadership’ isHow to thrive in the ‘tension’ of current timesListening to how you can meaningfully participate in life at this timeThe complexity of the nervous system in consent and why statements like "even a 'maybe' is a 'no'!" don't workHow women become more invisible at menopause and the liberation Christiane found from thisBeing in the mystery of menopauseChristiane is a former therapist now a mentor/guide/supervisor and ancestral healing practitioner, specifically working with women, tending to women's community, working at the intersection of erotic intelligence, female embodiment, trauma, and leadership in a time of ecological and societal collapse.

I am super excited to share this interview with Diana Richardson who is considered one of today’s leading authorities on human sexuality. Diana is known as the pioneer of Slow Sex and has been running ‘making love’ workshops for couples since 1993.
