Breath, Body & Brotherhood

About this event

Breath, Body & Brotherhood: A journey of connection through presence and touch.
What happens when we are given permission to experience touch with curiosity, softness and play?

In this embodied workshop, Luis invites us to explore our relationship with touch — how we give it, receive it, avoid it, and what happens when we slow down enough to actually notice it.

Through breathwork, self-touch, sensory exploration and consensual connection with other men, we will experiment with different textures, materials, pressures and sensations.

The invitation is simple: to become curious about what feels comforting, unfamiliar, playful, vulnerable or alive.

Touch can carry many meanings. It can be affectionate, friendly, intimate, grounding, playful or sensual. For many men, however, touch can also become associated with competition, aggression, sexuality, performance, or simply something we are not used to receiving.

This workshop offers space to explore some of the possibilities in between.

We will work with boundaries, consent, tenderness and presence, while noticing how our bodies respond to different forms of contact and connection.

Every practice is invitational. You choose how you participate, and you can pause, change an exercise or step out at any moment.

No previous experience is needed. Come with curiosity and an open mind.hrough that process.
