Bio danza

You are invited to try Bio-Gay-Dance - the dance of life - based in Biodanza Rolando Toro System in its first edition on gay, bi, trans, queer men group in Germany. Biodanza is an invitation of movement, plenty of meaning and the magic of poetic human encounter in a vivencia (a space of two hours where you can experience). In this Vivencia (session) you get in touch with joy, creativity, pleasure, feelings and the energy of being alive. Biodanza is for everybody, no matter your age, size and physical condition.

You don´t need to know how to dance and there are no steps to follow. Its on your own pace, without being right or wrong; and with music from all over the world.

Join us and start this adventure in a gay community that will embrace, protect and respect you as you are.

Playfight - Queerfight

Playfighting means experimenting with our bodies in physical contact and confrontation with an opponent in a circle of attentive viewers. You will have the chance to establish a direct connection with your opponent and feel him in his vulnerability, dedication, beauty and power. 

Playfight is open to all gay; bi; trans; queer men.

​

Billingual - for the most part nonverbal. If you have any questions or just want to check in before you join the first time you are (more than) welcome to contact us: playfight@stretch-village.org

Healing Space

Healing Space is inspired by a sister event held in Portland called "Healing Salon" offered by Little Bear to the local faerie community.

​

Healing space is a place where we come together to give and receive healing.

This space is for you - Please don't feel any hesitation to come with your needs.

There are many times at the Village where naked and sensual touch are encouraged but at this event we ask you not to engage with each other in this way. Examples of what we/you could offer: 

​

Acupunture - Tarot - Energy Work - Reiki - Holding - Bodywork - Mindfulness Techniques.

​

The space is open for the whole day for you to com and go as you please.

​

This event is by donation and has a NOTAFLOF (no one turned away for lack of funds) policy.

​

Cuddle Puddle

Intimacy, Touch and Embrace, a place of joy and delight.

​

This space is all about TOGETHERNESS and getting your basic needs to warmth, touch and connection met. Together we create a place of inclusion, consent and mutual appreciation; a place to forget about your worries of your latest man crush, let go and allow yourself to be held by the group.

This cuddle puddle will be international, don't miss it.

​

Come and feel the depth of life. We invite you to a special journey of heartfelt pleasure.

Bring comfortable clothes. 

​

Massage exchange

Massage Exchange for men in a safe and playful context.

​

Participants can reconnect and play with the power, ease, and sensuality they have experienced in other workshops and classes. No previous experience is necessary, though-the sessions are less about mastering technique and more about learning to touch in a loving and intuitive way. If requested, there may be a short demonstration of some techniques so you can practice and develop touch.

​

Participants should be open to nudity and intimacy. 

Please note that the exchange group is not about having sex.

​

The group is open to all gay / bi / straight / trans / queer men.

​

Please bring a bed sheet, towel and massage oil.

Journaling and Creative writing

Journaling is a self-development technique where you keep track of your feelings, thoughts and learning. It is particularly powerful for gay men - because we were given the message as children that our stories don't count - and helps combat shame, internalised homophobia and to cope with a crisis.

Journaling can also be an incubator for ideas and help writers stuck with a project or to deepen their writing. Be reassured, you don't need any previous writing experience to take the workshop - just a desire to understand yourself and to change your life for the better. 

​

You can write in any language but the group can mainly offer feedback in German and English.

Facilitator : Andrew G Marshall who is a therapist and author of twenty self-help books on relationships and two volumes of memories.

​

Heart Circle

Are you looking for a space where you can express your feelings and share your experiences in a loving and supportive community of peers?  - Come to the Heart Circle at the Village !

​

The Heart Circle is a practice which originates from Native Americans, adopted by Richard Faeries as a way to build community. It is a place where we can sit together peacefully to speak from the heart and listen with our hearts, honouring the different ways from which we come in a safe and non-judgemental space. Join us ! It will be a great opportunity to get to know the Village as a physical place and as a community of gay, bi, trans and queer man. 

​

Pot Luck

Pot Luck - In the spirit of community, the Village welcomes you to share a free community event together, laugh and make new friends.

​

Bring a dish to share, your favourite drink*, and we will eat & drink together.  INVITE as many friends as you like to have a great time at the Village - indoor & in the garden. The evening will be very informal, the focus is on spending time with old friends and making new ones.

​

Looking forward to seeing you at the Village !
