How good can your body feel?
How much pleasure are you capable of?
Welcome to a special one-day edition of A Touch of Ecstasy â€ïžâđ„ This Tantra workshop for GBTQ men* will introduce you to new ways of touching others and experiencing touch. This will awaken the power of your body into new levels of joy, freedom and ecstasy.
Many of us follow old patterns in our s*x lives - familiar ways of touching that eventually stop exciting us. And when we get into s*x, weâre often caught in our heads - so distracted that weâre not able to feel whatâs actually happening or what we really want.
During this workshop, youâll learn how to drop out of your mind and into your body to unlock heightened arousal and sustained pleasure.
Youâll practice new ways of touching, so that you can better attune to your partnerâs desires and pleasure, and take them on a journey to s*xual ecstasy.
Youâll play with different sensations, delight in moments of surprise, and surrender to the hands of another.
Youâll join a community of like-minded men* wanting to authentically connect, outside of the limiting scripts of mainstream gay culture.
*We warmly welcome all cis and trans men, as well as individuals with other gender identities within the queer masculine spectrum, regardless of body type, appearance, or disability.
What will you explore?
Touch and massage techniques to bring your partner into heightened states of ecstasy
How to actively receive touch that invites tingles and energy to move through your whole body
Tools to build connection, intimacy and safety with partners
How to touch with presence and communicate through your touch
How to attune to your partnerâs experience so you can support them in deepening their pleasure
Embodiment practices to get out of your head and be more present
A tantric ritual where you will be taken on a journey of sensation and bliss
What is ecstasy?
That feeling of breathlessness, when your body is shaking and deeply connected to your own pleasure. The experience of connecting to another, feeling their body move against yours and responding to the slightest of touch. The feeling of letting go and allowing yourself to be taken on a journey. Itâs a feeling of freedom to experience your own pleasure.
This event is for you if:
You are seeking more pleasurable experiences with other GBTQ men*
You want to explore new ways of feeling arousal and pleasure in your body
You want to practice new forms of touch and massage to awaken your partnerâs senses and expand your erotic practice into new dimensions
You want to feel more comfortable in your body
You want to deepen their connection with their desires and their s*xual energy
You want to connect authentically with others with a focus on safety and boundaries
You are willing to dive into a workshop that may be uncomfortable, but has the potential for huge growth and transformation
What if thereâs someone there I donât want to touch (or be touched by)?
Our events prioritise consent. You'll never be obliged to touch or be touched by anyone. We begin the event with exercises that empower you to say "no" both verbally and non-verbally. As facilitators we are here to ensure your safety, so you can have your own experience without worrying about unwanted touch.
While we encourage exploring beyond your usual preferences, it's entirely your choice. As you might in a massage, you may allow yourself to be touched or to touch someone you wouldnât usually be attracted to. This event is about expanding your experiences beyond the workshop.
If you ever feel uncomfortable, you won't be forced to connect with anyone. Your safety is our priority.
