About the Teacher
The sessions are led by Nick, who has over 30 years of meditation experience and lived for 7 years as a Buddhist monk. Central to this monastic training was the principle that our freedom lies in our ability to choose our response to life rather than react to external situations.

Our skin defines the psychical limits of our bodies but expands our sensations beyond boundaries. Our skin nurtures our emotional world and can become the gate between the inner and outer world.

Join us for a journey into sensations, using textures, fingertips, and your own skin to map a new landscape of pleasure.

In this session, some genital work is incorporated (brushing, passing over, holding and basic lingam techniques) as it’s not the sole focus of the workshop. Join us in beauty.

A massage workshop for men who want a supportive, safe, and heart-centred space to explore intimacy, connection, and touch.

Think of it as the sex education you never had — where we slow down, bring sensual awareness into our touch, and learn to ask for the experiences we truly want.

You’ll leave with practical, embodied skills you can bring into your connections with other men beyond the workshop.

Open to all self-identified men — both singles and partners who are comfortable exploring with others.

Beginners and experienced practitioners equally welcome; no prior massage experience required.

This dedicated space allows you to connect freely, explore openly, and enjoy the experience fully.

💆‍♂️ What to Expect
✨ Playful, erotic, and nourishing connection in a shame-free environment
✨ Massage and intimacy skills to deepen connection with partners, lovers, and community
✨ Being fully present with others in a caring, heart-centred setting
✨ Gentle paired and group activities (nudity and genital touch included)
✨ Building intimacy through presence, not performance or pressure
✨ Connection in a safe, sober, and supportive community
✨ Learning the language of consent, touch negotiation, and communication
✨ Relaxing into a welcoming space for men who may feel nervous, curious, or stuck around sexual connection
