“When we feel love 
and kindness toward others, 
it not only makes others feel loved 
and cared for, 
but it helps us also to 
develop inner happiness and peace.”
—The 14th Dalai Lama

Welcome to the Awaken Studio a sanctuary where men are able to come together and practice kindness. When you want to create a shift and begin to practice kindness towards yourself and others, when you want to develop your sense of inner happiness and peace come and share this practice at the Awaken Studio.

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

Radical QUEER -♥- Juicy Heart

Posted: January 4, 2014 in Random

Queer Heart Talking Circle

Radical QUEER space for men… faeries… queers… homos… pomos… fags…

Join in this new venture. An experiment in community and a time to gather.

I am calling out to those others who feel different… like they don’t fit in. Those who feel this queerness. Who feel separate from the rest. This call is to gather, share, and commune together.

  • Celebrating DIVERSITY.
  • Celebrating DIFFERENCE.
  • Celebrating QUEERNESS.

Please know that I am looking for a group of committed and loving men to start this journey into QUEER COMMUNITY. This communing will take place at gatherings that I will call the: Queer Heart Talking Circle.

The inaugural circle will be held on Sunday January 12th. Based in Faerie, Native, and other Traditions this form of sharing and gathering as a group will build a base for future gatherings.

  • Gather
  • Ritual
  • Talking Circle
  • Heart Share
  • Share Food
  • Share Community

BRING YOUR FIERCE RADICAL QUEER HEART
