This event is part of the New Manhood series, in which we explore the many layers of the male-socialised experience as it is shaped through upbringing, biology, and cultural expectation.

Every approach begins long before we say hello. It begins in the relationship we have with ourselves.
Whether we long for friendship, a meaningful conversation, a dance, intimacy, romance, or simply a moment of genuine connection, there is nothing wrong with desire. The invitation is not to change what we want, but to become honest about it.
Can my energy faithfully communicate my intention?
Too often, we approach others with an energy that doesn't reflect what we truly wish to offer. We seek connection while protecting ourselves, desire intimacy while hiding behind performance, or long to be seen while concealing who we are. When our intention and our presence speak different languages, genuine connection becomes more difficult.
This workshop is an invitation to explore the relationship between your inner world and the energy you bring into your encounters with others. Through movement, reflection, and shared experiences, we'll become curious about the qualities we embody when we meet another human being—whether at a social gathering, on a first date, in the supermarket, or in everyday life.
Together, we'll explore the light and shadow qualities of the various energetic facets within us all, and how they express themselves through courage and receptivity, pursuit and invitation, holding and nurturing, strength and tenderness. Rather than asking which qualities are right or wrong, we'll explore a different question:
Which quality is needed in this moment, and is that the one I'm embodying?
This is not about learning techniques or finding the perfect words. It is about cultivating a relationship with yourself that allows your intention, your energy, and your actions to move in the same direction.
Come as you are, and discover what becomes possible when your energy becomes a faithful expression of your intention.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Curious, caring and compassionate male-born humans – both those who identify as men as well as male-born non-binary people who resonate with this path
CAN I JOIN AS A BEGINNER?
Absolutely! The only prior experience required is growing up in a male body. You can join the individual workshop or the entire Manhood-series.
DO I NEED A PARTNER?
No partners required, you can come solo, with a friend or brother. The exercises can be practical, more physical, and sometimes hands-on, within each individual's boundaries. You’ll be encouraged to step in with openness and curiosity, working with different humans in a variety of combinations. Together, we will co-create in a fluid, collective experience that invites courage, play, and connection, without sexual activities or sexual interaction with others.

ABOUT THE MANHOOD SERIES
My mission is to create spaces where male-born humans can rediscover the parts of themselves they were taught to silence. I believe we all carry deep tenderness, intuition, creativity, desire, grief, humor, and an immense capacity for love. Too often, these qualities stay hidden because of inherited stories about what strength, emotion, and vulnerability are supposed to look like.
I support cis-men and male-born non-binary people in feeling without shame, speaking without fear, listening without defensiveness, and setting boundaries without guilt. I help them embody anger without harm and experience connection without collapsing or hardening. This work is not about perfection, but presence; not about performing strength, but embodying it.
Each workshop in the Manhood series stands on its own, offering a specific entry point into personal growth and embodied connection. Taken together, they form a rich journey – one that moves from brotherhood to embodiment, from communication to compassion, from guardedness to genuine openness.
This is an invitation to grow, to feel, to laugh, and to remember what it means to be fully human – together.
