In this monthly workshop we bring intimacy and creativity together. This edition is for men of all ages. The theme of this playful massage night is resistance & surrender. You can expect to discover how to become aware of tension and holding back and to move towards letting go and enjoyment.
Each time, we explore different forms of touch and massage and there will be a different theme, which we will use as an inspiration for our explorations. This way, you will discover what you like to give and to receive. You will also find out the anatomy and sensitivity of your massage partner. By tuning in with each other, you can examine the needs and wishes of your massage partner and express yourself by the way you touch.
🤲 The massage instructions will invite you to letting go of technique and connect with your playfulness, in an empathetic and mindful way. You can respond on each other's touch by listening to your body’s sensations and impulses, we can expressing our feelings. Your touch activates the senses and sensuality of your different massage partners, so our bodies communicate and an interaction can take place.
⚡️These massage workshops are perfect way to recharge your battery after a long working day and to meet like-minded men. The massages will make you feel amazing and will activate healthy hormones such as oxytocin.
Our open spaces are judgment-free zone where men can be their authentic selves. Regardless of your age, body shape, sexual orientation, race, skin colour or background, we celebrate the magic of touch, massage and human connection.
No need to have massage experience, because we will mostly follow our intuition. You are invited to meet different men and not stick with the same person, so you are able to feel different chemistry and energy flow with each person. You are not forced to do anything you don't like. All touch is based on mutual consent. All exercises are just an invitation to participate, so you can always opt-out.
🩳 These workshops are clothing-optional: we will always start dressed and during the exercises you can take off (part of) your clothes or use a sarong to cover some body parts.
After drinking a cup of tea / coffee together, we will start with a name circle and then do warming up and contact exercises. Then we will do different rounds of explorative massage exchanges, starting with clear instructions and a demo. We will focus on nourishing, relaxing and caring touch, where arousal and erotic feelings are completely welcome, but there will be no sexual acts. After the official wrap-up of the workshop, you can stay without guidance, where every form of touch is allowed. You can keep massaging, hang out in the tea & chat zone or move to the cuddle and love tempel.
