California Men's Gatherings

“Touching with Loving Intent” - San Diego

Saturday, May 17, 2008
Time: 11 am to 1:30 pm

Touch and be touched with love.

As men we know how to touch, and feel touched sexually. Many of us have given or received hurtful touch.

But what about touching with the intent to love,
honor, nurture or caress?

This workshop demonstrates a variety of techniques to touch another man’s feet (please wear socks), hands/arms and face with the intent to connect and touch in a loving manner. Single attendees are welcome; but, this workshop is geared more for any two men who already know each other and have a connection as it is easier to connect with a man you already care about.

Sponsored by the CMG Events Committee in San Diego (ECSD) all men are welcome [**]
