Teaching Again In San Francisco
Workshop space at HeartLab SF
During the pandemic, I initially enjoyed working from home. At that time, the resultant smallness of my life, moving from my bedroom to my office and back again--most often in sweatpants and slippers beneath my button-down dress shirts--felt like a tight hug when I most needed holding.
As we've begun recirculating within our communities, many feel challenged and socially awkward. I've found myself at social gatherings feeling overwhelmed and unable to access a sense of comfort in my interactions. We're not fucked up; we just need practice to bring our nervous systems back into harmony with each other.
I miss teaching in groups and holding space at events. Much of my present work began seven years ago in small, bi-weekly men's groups in San Francisco. Initially, we met in 2s and 3s. Then, 10. Before long, between 30 and 50 men gathered regularly to share and experience safety in vulnerable connection with each other. We opened our hearts in the face of our fears and trauma. We witnessed each other in our struggles to expand. We held each other in our processes of healing.
Beginning in March, I'll be back in San Francisco offering ongoing monthly workshops at HeartLab, a space co-creating events and community to promote human awareness and growth. At HeartLab, we can connect more deeply with ourselves and others, in furtherance of personal to global healing.
Alongside other facilitators, I will be helping to co-create spaces of transformation. I am grateful to all of you who've continued to follow my work in its various iterations. I am excited to continue our collective sculpting of queer culture into an increasingly more supportive family. I will be hosting workshops on how to create meaningful open relationships, how to infuse your monogamous relationship with excitement, how to consciously explore polyamory, how to cultivate authentic desire, how to consciously work on body shame, how to accept your penis size, how to use self-pleasure as a route to deeper awareness, how to improve your sex life, what to do when you’re no longer attracted to your partner, what to do about a sexless relationship, and so much more.
Check out the offerings below to see how you can participate. I can't wait to see you soon!
