Men’s Empowerment Through Eros – Heart & Cock Weekend

Expand your capacity to love yourself and celebrate your pleasure!

Integrate the power of your heart and cock to experience greater aliveness and self love in your body!

Discover the relationship between your heart and genitals as a source of vitality, self expression, freedom and empowerment in your life! 

In this day long men’s workshop you’ll explore ways to bring your heart and genitals into harmonious relationship. You’ll meet the places inside of yourself where you have disconnected sex and intimacy and distanced yourself from an intimate relationship with your own sexuality.

Do you struggle to show yourself and your vulnerability in your sexual experiences with others?

Do you slip into culturally prescribed roles that you believe you need to play in order to get sex and intimacy?

What if you were supported as a sexual being by the power of your own heart?

What if you could hold your sexuality in loving presence, and lovingly witness your body in it’s experience of pleasure?

Sadhu will guide you in rituals of initiation to support you in reclaiming your power, and engaging with your body as an integrated whole, a vehicle of love and creativity.

You’ll experiment with how to really show up in your sex life with love, and how to meet yourself, your needs and others from a place of loving yourself as a sexual being.

Through partner and small group touch, intimacy and process work focused exercises, you’ll taste the potential for your own loving, honouring relationship with and between, your heart and genitals. You’ll be invited into relationship with your genitals as sacred, and to approach your cock and balls with the love at your heart.

This workshop will support you to release the hold of your cultural conditioning around your sexuality and intimacy, and the stories of it being unsafe and not okay to reveal yourself as a sexual being. You’ll be invited to release the places in yourself where you have been hiding and open to yourself as a vibrant, loving, sexual being! 

Come and discover the pleasure of being in deep connection with your heart and cock in a supportive group of freedom loving men!

IMPORTANT POINTS

This workshop is specifically for male identified folks who have a physical cock. 

Queer, gay, straight, and bi men are all most welcome.

All my other men’s events are open to any adult who identifies as a man regardless of your genital configuration. 

You may experience many of the practices and processes in this weekend as homoerotic. 

You are never required to touch or be touched by someone you don’t wish to share touch with, or be touched in any way that is not of your choosing. You are always encouraged to play within your boundaries. And, I invite you to open to, and explore the possibilities of experience you can create when you let go of preconceived ideas.

In this workshop I ask you to take full responsibility for the choices you make in how you participate.

You’ll be encouraged to focus on your experience of your own erotic energy in your body, and to let go of any agenda for sexual interactions or fulfilment of attractions.

At this event you can wear as much or as little clothing as you want.
