Finding Your Bliss: Sacred Touch for Men who love Men

  • 9 Kotare Avenue Auckland, Auckland, 1022 New Zealand (map)

Brothers,

I invite you to join me as we explore the realm of conscious touch, during covid19, isolation and social distancing become our new normal, many of us weren’t even able to touch. These restrictions ignited my longing for touch, I had taken the touch I received for granted so I’m creating regular space for men to experience touch, while learning conscious ways of giving and receiving it – lets discover our bliss together.

We are often starved of touch, our individualistic culture can result in physical and emotional isolation from others, people can become so isolated from others they become afraid of touch, which can translate into severe physical and emotional illness. A person’s level of concern about being touched is almost always proportional to their need for it.
There is a deeply sacred dimension to touch, and therefore, a ritual that authorizes people to touch one another allows them to relax into the sacredness of touch. My desire is to reacquaint people with the sacredness of touch. Human hands carry a huge amount of healing energy, provided that one is aware of the kind of energetic alignment that must accompany their touch.

What is find your bliss about:
Come and explore your bliss – together we will create a container that holds space for Eros (sensual energy) deliberately moving away from sexual energy so we can slow everything down and really get in touch with our bodies – by learning Neo Tantric techniques that help support the nervous system to down regulate we are able to truly feel embodied, which allows us to fully access and find our bliss.
Bliss, takes us on a voyage of embodied discovery – which culminates in a multi handed consensual massage – where we as men use the healing touch of our hands to create deeper levels of intimacy with our brothers and hold each other in sacredness.
