Description
Eros Play Circle - Sensual Touch Lab Series
with Julian Martin
Inspired by Marina Kronkvist’s “Ritual Play,” we create an erotically sensual speed dating experience. In multiple rounds, you encounter different individuals. Both participants follow their impulses nonverbally, surrendering to the dynamics of the interaction. The game may unfold with or without physical touch, allowing for playful, sensual, and erotic interactions within predefined boundaries. Seize the opportunity to honestly follow your impulses and communicate boundaries nonverbally. Explore your counterpart’s body language and respect their limits.
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. Benefits
