THROB PRIDE EDITION:
Celebrate the skin you’re in
A body-positive, self-intimacy workshop to access more of your pleasure potential, led by queer certified sex educators Gerard X Reyes and guest facilitator Raynefyre Grayce. Our shared intention is to usher in a new world of queer care, belonging and possibility. For this THROB Pride Edition we invite you to celebrate the skin you’re in through guided breathwork, self-touch, and freestyle dance. We’ll be hosting at a loft (with an elevator!) near Mont Royal métro on the Plateau. Featuring a new undressing ritual and an ecstatic breathwork practice to shed old skins that no longer serve us. This event is clothing optional (all states of dress/undress possible – you choose).
The 3-hour workshop will include:
- body scan
- opening circle + shared agreements
- guided ecstatic breathwork
- undressing ritual (partnering exercise – no touch)
- guided, mindful self-touch
- guided movement
- self-directed exploration (breath, touch, dance)
- integration
- closing circle
Newcomers welcome – if you’ve been to THROB before, you will be able to deepen your experience. Open to curious humans of all identities and experiences.
The workshop will be taught in English and French. This non-judgmental and intentional space will prioritize 2SGLBTQQIAA+, differently abled folks and people of the Global Majority.
There is 1 step from the street into the building to get onto the elevator.
This event invites you to move at whatever cadence feels most supportive to your body-mind. Music will be played. Lighting is on dimmers. We will be sensitive to the group’s overall comfort. We ask that you tend to your own sensual sensitivities by bringing your own ear plugs and eye masks as needed.
Why join us?
- To practice presence (not performance).
- To explore listening, surrendering, and savouring the skin you’re in.
- To encourage a deeper connection with yourself and the collective.
- To be part of a group with the intention of expanding solo pleasure (rather than attracting others).
- To come home to the er0tic wisdom of your body, where you try to release internal and external expectations on your path towards greater pleasure.
- To be in your own process, held in a shared experience, where you can move along both rough and smooth terrain.
