**Delicate Dialogues: Genital touch – what does it need?** *Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ men\** with ***Noam Raz*** **[BOOK HERE!](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/sensual-touch/w08-2026)** Members 15 € Not members 30 € in English We will dedicate the evening to our genitals and full-body-emotional attention. Exploring delicate ways of approaching it, teasing it, connecting to its vulnerability and building the emotional safety it requires in order to communicate and become receptive. The evening will start with a somatic (Feldenkrais like) warm up, followed by partner exercises, leading eventually to a more free genital feedback exploration. Participants are encouraged to say no, or check and then say no (or yes). Nudity is optional. Resistances, shame and shyness are cherished and welcomed. **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**: • Creates valuable shared experiences among GBTQ men\* through closeness, empathy, and connection. • Combats feelings of isolation and loneliness • Promotes self-love and acceptance of one’s body and identity • Provides a safe, judgement-free space to explore personal boundaries • Contributes to overall well-being and supports the ability to build lasting relationships • Can serve as a healthy coping mechanism and reduce the risk of substance abuse **General Information** • This format is for all queer men\* / queer masculinities interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting. • Please pay attention to personal hygiene. • Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables. • This event will be in English. • This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the two-free-monthly-events benefit. • Concession tickets upon written request to events@wearevillage.org available 🔵 **Delikate Dialoge: Was braucht genitale Berührung?** *Sensual Touch Lab Series* für GBTQ Männer\* Mit ***Noam Raz*** Mitglieder 15 € Nicht Mitglieder 30 € Auf Englisch Wir werden den Abend unseren Genitalien und der ganzheitlich-emotionalen Aufmerksamkeit widmen. Wir werden zarte Wege erkunden, um uns ihnen zu nähern, sie zu necken, ihre Verletzlichkeit zu spüren und die emotionale Sicherheit aufzubauen, die sie benötigen, um zu kommunizieren und empfänglich zu werden. Der Abend beginnt mit einem somatischen (Feldenkrais-ähnlichen) Aufwärmen, gefolgt von Partnerübungen, die schließlich zu einer freieren Erforschung des genitalen Feedbacks führen.

This nourishing 60-minute session blends a gentle, feel-good yoga flow with immersive sound healing to help you move, breathe, and soften back into yourself. We begin with a slow, intuitive flow designed to release tension, awaken the body, and create a sense of ease and fluidity. Movements are accessible and adaptable, focusing on grounding, opening the heart, and reconnecting to natural rhythm rather than pushing or striving. Breath awareness guides each transition, allowing the practice to feel both energizing and calming. As the body settles, the session gradually transitions into a deeply restful sound journey. Using instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and voice gently wash through the nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional release, and creative flow. You're invited to rest, receive, and simply be. This class is ideal if you're seeking: * A gentle yet uplifting movement practice * Stress relief and nervous system reset * A sense of grounding, creativity, and embodied calm * A mindful experience that blends movement, sound, and presence No prior yoga or sound healing experience is needed. Come as you are - curious, tired, inspired, or simply in need of a pause. ✨ Move. Feel. Rest. Reset. ✨ Bring your own mat or use one of ours.

How to the find Quartier 205 Stadtmitte:** [https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA](https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA) The exact meeting spot can be seen in the photo below!

Walk&Talk to Kerb:** The best part. In order to extend the walk we'll stroll all the way to Brandenburger gate and from there to the former Sony Center where we are going to enter the Kerb foodcourt. **3\. How to find the Manifesto Market** [https://goo.gl/maps/aSnChzLuE6akyP4F8](https://goo.gl/maps/aSnChzLuE6akyP4F8) The food hub is located in "The Playce". The new flagship shopping center of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be upstairs on the first floor next to Kabuki.

Asians who want to practice German and/or English\. 2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A Walk & Talk to break the ice\. 3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.
