SLOW DOWN! PAUSE! And ENJOY!

Often we are just rushing through life and meanwhile missing out on the juicy little moments in-between – especially  when it comes to intimacy & sex. So why not slow down and observe all the pleasant sensations when becoming sensual with yourself and others.

The invitation of tonight is to bring more attention to all our senses and learn to use some helpful keys in self-regulation when things are heating up & learn to play with all of it.

Markus will therefore lead you through a flow of sensual touch experiences – first touching yourself  before meeting other queer men* in couple and group constellations. Always with the aim to keep your own control: SLOW DOWN! PAUSE! and ENJOY!

Nudity is welcome. Bring a towel.

Nacktheit ist willkommen. Bringt ein Handtuch mit.

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.
