Together we co-create a **supportive, safe, and heart-centred space** for men who want to explore intimacy, connection, and touch in a conscious, respectful, and caring way. These Saturday afternoon massage workshops are separate from the Monday night meditation class, but they share the same underlying intention of being a healing space for gay men. The workshop offers a space where men can learn how to meet one another with **respect, care, and kindness.** Rather than the harshness that can sometimes be found in club, app, or scene dynamics, these workshops create an opportunity to connect with other gay men in a more grounded and nourishing way. The emphasis is on meeting one another as whole people. Often described as *“sex education for adults”*, the workshops invite us to slow down and discover more playful, sensual, and erotic ways of connecting than many of us were taught. The emphasis throughout is on **presence, consent, and care** — learning how to give and receive touch that feels nourishing, alive, and genuinely connecting. **What to Expect** ✨ A space to slow down and experience conscious, sensual connection ✨ Learning how to ask for the touch you want and set clear boundaries ✨ Open to singles and partners; beginners warmly welcome ✨ No previous massage experience needed **What You’ll Explore** ✨ Slowing down and enjoying sensual foreplay as a form of erotic connection ✨ Sensual, unhurried touch beyond performance or pressure ✨ Slow, sensual undressing in pairs, leading into naked massage together ✨ Over the afternoon, you’ll work with around **seven different men** ✨ Rather than being told what touch to give, you and your partner decide together what feels comfortable — allowing you to sense into how intimate each pairing wants to be ✨ Breath and energy practices to support erotic vitality ✨ Consent, communication, and confident boundary-setting — learning both how to ask for what you want and how to say no to what you don’t *(Nudity and genital touch are included, always optional and fully consent-led.)* 🔹 **Saturday 7th February — Ages 18–40** This workshop is specifically for men aged **18–40** who would like to explore intimacy and touch with others in a similar age group. It’s open to both single men and partners who are comfortable working with a range of people. This age-specific workshop is a response to men who’ve shared that they feel more relaxed and at ease practising with peers from their own generation. The dedicated space allows for greater ease, playfulness, and depth of connection 👉 7th February (18 - 40) [Click HERE to reserve your spot](https://bookwhen.com/evolvingminds#focus=ev-sxg2a-20260207140000) 🔹 **Saturday 28th February — Open to All Ages** This workshop offers exactly the same exercises and experiences as the 18-40 workshop but is open to any ages. 👉 28th February (open to any age) [Click HERE to reserve your spot](https://bookwhen.com/evolvingminds#focus=ev-svvr8-20260228140000) 📅 Event Details **Dates:** Saturday 7th February & Saturday 28th February **Time:** 2.00 – 7.30pm (doors open 1.45pm) **Location:** Canary Wharf **Travel:** • Canary Wharf (Jubilee or Elizabeth Line) — approx. 15-minute walk • East India DLR — approx. 8-minute walk 🎟️ Tickets **£69 full price** **£39 reduced rate (students / unwaged)** 👉 7th February (18 - 40) [Click HERE to reserve your spot](https://bookwhen.com/evolvingminds#focus=ev-sxg2a-20260207140000) 👉 28th February (open to any age) [Click HERE to reserve your spot](https://bookwhen.com/evolvingminds#focus=ev-svvr8-20260228140000) **Facilitated by Nick Kientsch** — a trauma-informed practitioner with over 20 years’ experience in bodywork, intimacy, and energy practices.

DANCING EVERY 1ST AND 3RD SATURDAY NIGHTS <3 Tribalheart Ecstatic dance creates space for free-form movement in a chat free zone where you can dive deeply into the heart, reconnecting, expressing, dancing in and out, up and down, learning to let go of anything and everything that holds you back from yourSelf and inner freedom. Let the energy move you, let the spirit of the heart guide you. There is space to dance alone and no pressure to connect with anyone else, just be yourself and honour what you need in the moment. This night is an inspiration and fusion of club culture, dancing yoga, active meditation, cardio fitness, Ecstatic trance dance (blindfolds available) and a sacred Nataraj. If you choose to connect, it is a chance to meet others without words from a place of movement, meditation, energy and soul; eyes and heart wide open. ### We will start the evening with a welcoming warmup to relax the body and mind. Together we will set an intention for the evening inviting the heart to open and awaken within us thus creating sacred space for all. For those that wish to partake, we will enjoy and deepen our intention with a short Cacao ceremony. (The cacao is used to take us deeper into our body, awakening our senses, connecting us to heart energy and aiding a spring in our step) We also embark on some dynamic breathwork to fire us up for the evening. \- Please leave at least 2 hours after eating a heavy meal if drinking cacao\. -Please do not drink alcohol before the event as it is contraindicated with some of the breathwork techniques we practice We inject passion into sourcing the music for our events and aim to deliver an eclectic mix of genres for your heart. From tribal to electronic and everything in between we aim to assist a natural flow peaking and resting to mirror the rhythm and energy of life. Prepare to shake, spin, whirl and twirl. The music becomes the facilitator during the wild ecstatic dance ending with moments of stillness into silence where we can rest and breathe together Each DJ has their own sound and energy to be shared, making each night unique and different... 3/1/2026-DJ TARA 17/1/2026-DJ ATMO 7/2/2026- TBC 21/2/2026-TBC 6/3/2026-TBC 21/3/2006-TBC Will update DJ listing asap <3 Admission **New Venue**-Doors open from 630pm and we start at 7pm.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
