The Cuddle Exchange: Undressed
2026-05-28 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-06-25 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-07-23 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-08-27 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-09-24 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-10-22 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-11-26 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-12-24 18:30 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | Anomalous, 36 Pentonville Road, London, London, N1 9HF, United Kingdom
Heart-centred, kind and respectful touch blesses both the receiver and giver. The nervous system relaxes, the breath deepens, the heart rate slows and we feel connected, calm and quiet.
Many of us can feel deprived of physical contact and touch and yet it is so vital to our wellbeing and happiness. Even if we have regular sex, a sensual element to it can be missing; that sweetness of just being held.
In this naked workshop, we will step out of our stuff and our stories and find the freedom to take intimacy, connection and sensuality a little deeper. We will work together to create a safe space that meets people’s varying need for physical contact with others. Each person will get to determine their own boundaries and preferences during the workshop.
The session will involve movement, mindful awareness, shared touch and massage and partner and small group exercises.
Join us and inhabit your body more fully, relaxing into it with deeper compassion, appreciation and contentment.
ANDY is a Tantra Yoga teacher and somatic therapist and has been facilitating spaces for gay, bi and queer men to connect from the heart for 10 years. He holds classes and private sessions in London and runs several wellbeing retreats for men during the year.
This workshop puts participant safety and consent at its heart.

Erotic Gateway - Men's Workshop and Play Space
2026-06-27 09:30 - 18:00, 2026-07-18 09:30 - 17:30 (Europe/London) | Green Place Studios, 127A Elderfield Road Lower Clapton, London, E5 0AY, United Kingdom
The Erotic Gateway is a full-day immersion for men who want to meet their sexuality with presence rather than performance.
A thoughtfully facilitated, sex-positive space for gay and bi men that weaves embodiment, consent, and therapeutic practice into a guided erotic experience.
This is not simply a play party. It is a structured, carefully held journey that begins with embodied workshop practices and intentionally transitions into a consent-led erotic space.
You will be supported to slow down, tune into your body, and clarify your desires. The emphasis is on safety, humanity, and genuine connection, creating an environment where you can meet yourself and other men with steadiness and self-trust.
Our Intention is to create an experience carefully designed specifically for gay and bi men who value integrity, presence, and mutual respect. Participation is conscious and choice-led. There is no pressure to perform or escalate. Many participants return as part of an ongoing journey of erotic self-trust.
Come prepared to show up honestly. Leave more connected, to yourself and to other men.
Participant Capacity
Maximum 20 participants.

Prime Time Gay Men’s Retreat
2026-07-03 08:00 - 2026-07-13 17:00 (Europe/Paris) | Queercus, Dordogne, France
THE CONCEPT
This year, we take a look at aging, whilst acknowledging and grieving the things that aging may strip us of. We also want to explore the idea that:

We can find a flow of continual improvement throughout lif
The final stages of life might be the most fulfilling.
Aging can bring freedom from society’s expectations.
Our later years may hold fewer financial and time constraints.
We can let go of our own self-limiting ideas.
We can dream for ourselves, a fulfilling and abundant old age.

We can become confident in the resources we have amassed over decades and their value to our communities.

A MODULAR RETREAT
Over 11 consecutive days we will be offering three modules, which can be combined or taken as one-off workshops.
As in previous years we will be curating a clothing optional space, blending practices and experiences taken from :
• Tantra tradition
• Modern somatic and conscious sexuality traditions • Radical Faerie Culture
• Personal growth
• Queer intentional communities
• Sacred Intimacy
• And many other traditions.
We will create a temporary, nourishing, heart-centered community, rooted in embodiment, authenticity, and shared experience. A space where we can share touch, intimacy, and whatever we need to support each other in our personal growth and expansion.

THE MODULES
Module One:
Friday 3rd July – Monday 6th July
MEET YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE – GENTLY EXPAND TO BECOME EVEN MORE
A beginner-friendly weekend combining mindfulness, somatic awareness, conscious touch, yoga, meditation, and tantric practices. Also suitable for experienced participants.
Module Two:
Monday 6th July – Wednesday 8th July
MEET YOUR RESOURCES – NATURE, FRIENDS, TOUCH AND SIMPLY JUST BEING
A relaxed, self-created mini-retreat, for those curious about community in the Radical Faerie culture.
Take time out to relax, unwind and connect.
These will be un-programmed ‘hanging-out’ days, focused on community living. With shared cooking, cuddling and chilling, maybe optional taster workshops, and opportunities to explore the land and beautiful surrounding areas together.
Module Three:
Wednesday 8th July – Monday 13th July
MEET YOUR FUTURE SELF – IMAGINE THE MOST MATURE AND COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF YOURSELF
A reflective, in-depth exploration of aging as gay and queer men* — embracing slowing down, compassion, and life beyond society’s pressure to stay young.
There will be chances to mourn what’s lost but also to dream into being what could be.
All modules are aimed primarily at exploring the experience of those who identify on a spectrum of masculinity. You will know whether this is you or not. All bodies are welcome and if you are unsure whether this workshop will suit you, please send me a message, so that we can explore that together.

Why Smart Men Disappear During Sex Free Live Webinar
2026-07-08 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
A free 60-minute session for men who are present everywhere in their lives except the one place it matters most. We’ll explore why smart, self-aware men often check out mentally during sex, where this pattern comes from, and a practical, body-based exercise you can use the same night. This is an educational and experiential session, not a sex-tips webinar; it’s for men ready to move from performing to actually feeling present.
Participant Capacity: Open registration; no attendee limit.
Accessibility: This is a virtual event hosted on Zoom. Live captions are available through Zoom’s built-in captioning feature. No physical accessibility considerations apply since the event is fully online.
Language: English
Consent and Participant Safety: This webinar includes guided, optional body-awareness exercises. All exercises are done individually, in your own space, fully clothed, with no partner participation required. Participation in any exercise is always optional. You’re welcome to simply listen and observe at any point.

UNSHAMED - theatre screening
2026-07-24 19:30 - 21:00 (Europe/London)
Marc Peridis is a sex therapist whose work is informed by tantra, embodiment, and sexual healing. This is his confessional.
An award-winning erotic documentary where explicit sexuality meets therapeutic storytelling, and personal confession.
Over 43 minutes, Marc shares six client-inspired stories alongside his own, exploring the relationship between fantasy, shame, healing, and desire.
Unapologetic, uncensored, (and a bit uncomfortable…) UNSHAMED invites audiences to question the boundaries of what society calls acceptable.
At its core, the film invites us to remember that every part of us is worthy of love.
Watch trailer here: [www.unshamedmovie.com]
The London Screening
Following sold-out screenings in London and presentations in Mexico, Los Angeles, New York and Bogotá, UNSHAMED returns for a special one-night event.
Audience members will be invited into a live UNSHAMING experience.
Participants join Marc on stage, choose from a selection of toys and accessories, and explore their own fantasies in real time while drawing from themes within the film.
The unshaming is a rare opportunity to explore these themes not only intellectually, but directly and collectively.
Part performance, part therapeutic inquiry, part collective experiment, participants are welcome to simply observe, or engage more actively.
Together we create a space where curiosity can replace judgement, and where hidden parts of ourselves can meet revelation with care and understanding.
Age: 18+
This film contains explicit sexual content, including gay sexual imagery, and explores themes of power, desire, and sexual expression. Intended for adult audiences (18+).
