Sensual Play Ritual

In this session, we turn our focus inward to connect with our awakening needs and desires. As spring approaches, let us draw inspiration from the plant kingdom, inviting a playful approach to fully engage our senses and bodily exploration. Like the vegetation emerging from winter dormancy, we too can grow and blossom, awakening all our senses.
This ritual guides you through a journey of self-exploration, intimate one-on-one encounters, and group experiences. The ritual unfolds in two parts.
It begins with a guided exploration, led by our facilitator, to establish trust and curiosity, followed by a more intuitive and free-flowing experience that builds on the foundation of sensual awareness created in the first part.
Throughout the experience, clothing is optional, with full respect for personal boundaries maintained.

What is Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ+ Men*?
Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ+ Men* is a monthly workshop where we aim to create a space for sensual closeness and playful encounters.
Embodied, somatic experiences that appreciate our full-bodied nature. Using sensuality as an approach to explore new ways of dealing with our own fears or patterns related to nudity, intimacy, and touch. We invite you to explore, communicate, and possibly expand your personal boundaries within a framework of mutual respect and consent. This opens up the opportunity to experience the power of touch, sensation, and non-verbal interpersonal connection.
Each event will be a guided process, which will have a special touch depending on the theme and background of the facilitator*, whether it be bodywork and touch, somatics and intimacy, or something else. These short workshops may include nudity, partner exercises or close physical interactions.
