Share your favorite healing touch techniques for relieving stress with other men, and learn from one another by giving & receiving simple, practical techniques in a warm, safe, comfortable atmosphere.  Massage mats, warm oil, gentle music, and experienced facilitation provided.  This exchange will have a healing, nurturing, non-erotic intention.  To remind us of this, we’ll keep at least our underwear on during massage and you can be draped as little or as much as is comfortable for you.
