by ira
I was taught a "Holy Trinity" of The Father, Son & Holy Spirit, full of judgement and fear that led to disassociation. On my path I learned to integrate and reconcile my spirituality and sexuality.
“The Father”
The Father is The Intimacy Architect with Structure and Grace of Human Awareness.
“The Son”
The Son is The Witch Doctor that Reveals You Are the Remedy.
“The Holy Spirit”
The Holy Spirit is The Holy Whore with the Wisdom of Spiritual and Sexual Embodiment
The insight and integration of this resulted in a life I love that I build with compassion for all my parts and that vulnerability has strengthened my connection to source.
Ira Zezir’s mission
I am the founder of Intimacy Architecture and a proud supporter of authentic sexuality. I have come to understand the negative impact of shame on society and our relationships, and have made it my mission to heal the trauma and call out shame in our spiritual and sexual lives.
Through a range of services and programs, including BDSM, yoga, breath work, tantra, sound healing, purity culture recovery, and spiritual healing, I aim to empower individuals and couples to explore their sexuality and grow as individuals. I believe in the power of sexuality and strive to honor and support queer and non-binary communities through my work.
At Intimacy Architecture, I offer a dynamic and supportive environment for those seeking to enhance their connection with their partner or to find sexual and spiritual fulfillment.
