This class explores dynamics of collective desire, touching on awareness, acceptance, & articulation of personal boundaries, the relationship of the individual to the group, & the notion of pleasure as a path to embodiment. We will begin from somatic work with the Skin, which serves both as a boundary between ourselves and the rest of the world, and also as the first point of contact with that world. We will then move on to exercises that allow us to practice and embody the articulation of desires as well as boundaries, and embrace the joys of saying "no".

In this workshop we will move, step by step, towards a beautiful, naked, sensual durational massage event. We seek to create an arena of non attachment, where we serenely glide through a ‘car wash’ of sensuality, a space where we can can open ourselves to the pleasure of different roles, both the giving and receiving of sensual touch. Individual boundaries are to be indicated and observed as well as a commitment to support and be aware of the flow of energy within the group.

Please note that for the majority of the workshop we will be standing.

In Western culture, myths about inspiration (as represented by the Muse) are traditionally heteronormative. Cultural institutions usually promote the norm and play down or even silence the margins. But inspiration knows no such boudaries. Through role-play, we will summon alternative muses and try to channel queer energy into verbal creativity. This workshop is about tapping into queerness as a source of creativity, and allowing the poet and the muse within us expression.

When it comes to sex we may engage in it within a certain - perhaps repetitive - range of behavior that involves our bodies, feelings, minds or imagination. Focusing on the body, we will use the somatic method of Continuum to meet and recognize ourselves as full-blooded, full-bodied, conscious, living events … always breathing, pulsating, streaming, sending, receiving. From this activated state of multidirectional, cellular “listening”- awareness, we explore various partnering invitations and may so receive some inspirations for our sexual expression at home or elsewhere.

Play fighting is experimenting with our bodies in physical contact andconflict with one or more opponents.
Fighting playfully can be dance-like, sensual, funny, overpowering, childish, serious, scaring, deep, teasing, freeing, healing, or sexy.

Play fight is a consensual bodily confrontation that allows us to feel our power and our partner’s power, to feel how physical we are in aunique, intensive way.

We sometimes tell a trusted friend that we had a really great date, or we might mention that so and so has a hot ass or a big cock. We might sometimes say that a date wasn't very rewarding. But, as gay/queer men, we don't often share any details about the actions, exitement, hope, disappointments, sadness, ecstasy, pain, shame and what ever else can happen to us during sex. Our inner narrative about our sexual history and self usually takes place in some kind of isolation. We start with a guided inner work to gently dive into our sexual past: to look for highs and lows, certainties and doubts, moment of opening up and moments of closing down. In a ritual setting we will then share stories (leaving out references to names, times and places). The ritual will facilitate an intimacy that will, at least for the duration of our time together, make us feel we are not alone. We can learn from each other, laugh en cry with each other, be each other's mirror. Share your story, be a healer and be healed by talking and listening.

A workshop based on sensual healing, exploring subtle and intimate touch. Through different body-awareness exercises we will focus on our personal healing capacities. Once connected with our hearts and invited to move to the beat of the shaman drum, we will encounter other men with whom we can exchange sensual and conscious touch. A workshop in which fun and Eros are the basics to help eachother enjoy our physical form and presence.

Cats are inspiring creatures, sent to us by the gods.  If we let them, they can teach us wonderful ways of bonding, caring for each other and expressing affection gracefully. This workshop is about creating a (feline) space of intimacy, in which participants get to explore a more playful fashion of touch, physical closeness and communal care.

The future is the unknown territory of „not yet“ that we are all creating and shaping together through our actions in the here & now. What is it that we want to create, to call into being, to bring into the world? For ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and the world as a whole? Connecting both the concrete and tangible and our wildest utopian dreams and fantasies, we will invite our bodies, souls, hearts and minds to let the queer breath of the future run through us to collectively dream new realities into being!
