A connection workshop, past year reflections, new year intention setting and London's only Ecstatic Dance for GTBQ+ men (with cacao ceremony and sound healing!)
Skip the chaos of the 31st December and the exhausation of 1st January to join us for a beautiful afternoon of connection, togetherness and Ecstatic Dance on 3rd January instead. Seeing in the New Yeay, The Pleasure Medicine way…
Let the noise fade. Let the crazy melt away. Let the new years dust settle…
… then come together with a beautiful group of GBTQ+ men for a more intentional New Year experience rooted in movement, connection, kindness, care, ceremony, joy, playfullness and delight.
Forget the hangovers and resolutions.
