Something happens when a group of men get together and touch one another. This creates, for me, an opening to the Magic.
When men get together and touch one another and dwell, if only for a few minutes, in their pleasure and desire, magic can happen. It seems as if for a micro-secod the universe opens up.
This something is like magik to me. I feel so blessed and blissed to be a part able to offer and manifest these groups where men come together and get real. The get in the now of their body and they let themselves feel the power and connection that is within themselves to be a part of their desire.
Something happens when a group of men get together and true to tehemselves and real with others.
This is something like magik to me. I leave these groups with a sense of reassurance and feel so very grounded in my love of humanity. Each time I leave one of these events I feel like living my life more fully and more joyfully. It helps that I just completed a group, cleaned up the studio and made my way home. I am left with a sense of openness and delight. LOVE

Sexual Tension among Men
I just read an invitation to a Naked Yoga event. Part of the invitation was that I would be able to gather in a rare space, a space that let men be together, be naked and be in a space where there would be NO Sexual Tension.
This made me laugh!
When men gather together there will always be some form of sexual tension, cloths on or cloths off. Add into the equation that many of the men are likely Gay, Bi or Queer and this adds into the mix of thoughts, chemicals and posturing that will increase the Sexual Tension.
What would happen to Sexual Tension, if like that little fish that you catch, you know the one that is so small you can not keep it, you could learn to release Sexual Tension or let Sexual Tension go, rather than deny or think that Sexual Tension simply does not exist. Don’t get me wrong I am not talking about some form of Happy Ending. I am speaking to the fact that as human beings it serves our humanity well when we can be more humane and more humanistic with ourselves.
I pride myself in creating a space where that Sexual Tension can be addressed in a safe, honouring and uplifting manner. To say that there will be no Sexual Tension when men gather together, lacks an awareness of human nature. It is funny how we humans deny how much like dogs and other animals we are. I am happy to know, fully in my being, that the services I provide, the events that I create and the space that I manifest at the Awaken Studio can provide men a forum and a laboratory to experience, work with and play with the Sexual Tension that is in each of us. This laboratory allows for the safe expression of this Sexual Tension rather that the suppression and denial of what exists within the human condition.
Treat yourself to some new awareness and experience the pleasure of being able to be HUMAN – MALE and NAKED! Welcome yourself into a space where you can be empowered by your sexuality and your gender. WELCOME and HONOUR your masculinity, be aware and capable of your desire.
Come on OUT to the next Naked Event for Men at the Awaken Studio – Toronto.

YES, I have been searching! Searching for the TRIBE, you know that BIG GAY TRIBE.
The tribe that will teach me and the tribe that will take care of me and the tribe that I will be able to call my home, my community, my source.
Where is that BIG GAY TRIBE?
I have to say that I have been searching for a long time. I have looked and looked. I have joined in and I have offered, I have traveled far and wide, I have asked and sought in so many places . Well that BIG GAY TRIBE has been found.
“Where is it?” you ask. Well it has been hidden. Hidden for a long time, finally after all of this searching and all of this introspection and all of this sharing Ihave found the BIG GAY TRIBE. It is living inside of me! That TRIBE, all that I seek is inside of me and I have come to believe that it is inside of you.
Now all I have to do is share that part of me with that part of you and we will have a communion. We will have a sharing and we will have a beginning of something that will look like community.

Today World AIDS Day. December 1, 2013
Waking up to feeling like the MISFIT that I am. Realizing and knowing that I don’t really fit in, I don’t really belong and I never have. Even in the groups and organizations that I felt like I belonged to and was a part of for so long I realize now that I was simply too different to fit in.
For a long time I felt that being so different was a problem. Being so different made me an outcast and undesirable. Something is different today. Something inside of me has changed. Something is different and I am finally, after cresting past middle age, realizing that all the stuff that makes me so different and such a MISFIT is actually what makes me myself. I don’t have to be a victim of this MISFIT, QUEERNESS.
Today I feel powerful and I can actually let all that QUEER ENERGY and all that sense of not belonging feed my POWER and my SENSE OF SELF. This is the place where I can make that QUEER MISFIT, into a BEING that is FIERCE and BOLD and full of the wholesome richness of life and love. I do not have to be afraid, ashamed or guilty that I am so different. I can bring that BIG, BOLD and FIERCE, QUEER out into the world and some good and kind and gracious LOVE into the community that I am a part of.
I finally able, at this point in my life, to look at myself and feel good about what I have done and what I am doing. What is that you ask? What are you doing?
What I am doing with my life these days is creating a space, a community that welcomes and embraces all that is diversity in men who LOVE men. The Awaken Studio is that physical place. A space and place for men to come together and be a part of. A part of what we can create together, a part of what we each put in and a part of what we will each take away. An urban space and downtown place welcoming all of the energy of not belonging. An open, welcoming and hospitable place where men can bring their queer energy. This queer spirit can be focused and channeled and sculpted into creating community,events and gatherings for all men who love men.
Check out the Queer Heart Talking Circle, a gathering for all queers and all men who are willing to dedicated themselves and create a safe, welcoming and honouring environment. A gathering where men who love men can come together and share their Queer Heart and LOVING Gay Spirit.

Excited today.
A flash of awareness occurred to me over the weekend as I prepared for vacation.
This flash was about structure, the unpredictable and what surprise does to me. Surprise does excite me and stimulates me. Even BAD surprise. BAD surprise, GOOD surprise they both pool together in breath… and lead to EXCITEMENT.
The excitement will only come through me when I have rid myself of the structure, have played in the unpredictable and been able to totally and viscerally swim in my POWER. This POWER is the POWER to choose. The CHOICE is always about choosing to know that I have POWER at least the power to choose the attitude that I will have towards the surprise, the unpredictable, the lack of structure.
Over time I have learned as well that if I can not adjust my attitude towards whatever it is that is blocking excitement then I really need to get curious. CURIOUS about everything! curious about all that is around me, my history, my present and my future. Curiousity is a great anecdote for my need of structure, my fear of the unpredictable and when I am lacking of surprise.
Treat yourself to a SURPRISE today and get CURIOUS. You might find yourself really, truly EXCITED.
Life is TOO important to be taken seriously.

Celebrating FREEDOM.
An introspection one year after setting myself free. Freeing myself from a business model and a business liaison that was, from my experience, unsupportive to me and the community that I represented, confrontational and blind to working and creating business from a heart centered model.
Today, as I was breathing and enjoying the freshness of my early morning walk, I pondered what this FREEDOM has meant for me. One year later and I am no longer shackled by the constraint of a larger body, domineering, bullying and demanding. In my business I have been able to open to a heart centered, more compassionate and gracious model of carrying on my LIFE work. In this freedom I have had to look to see where I go to exercise discipline and to remain on course towards my goals.
These goals very simple and include:
This personal and business FREEDOM has not had it’s fair share of challenges. The greatest of these is the sense of isolation I feel when I look around. I sometimes find it very difficult to see others who are living their passion and their heart from a business model that I am able to identify with. I have been working on opening my vision farther and farther, seeking out others who can operate their business and live their lives, opening their heart and offering to the world with, FEARLESSNESS, LOVE and COMPASSION.
As part of my work this summer. I will be building, nurturing and creating a project that I will call the “Awakening Tree“. This will be tree in which one can place their personal wishes for what they would like to “AWAKEN” in their life. This project is inspired by the YOKO ONO HOPE TREE and the Guggenheim in Venice. For more information about the “AWAKEN TREE PROJECT” contact me at phillip@phillipcoupal.ca . Watch for more blogs about this project.
