One Year Training - Five Modules - One Group

Dare to love!
Align your life, sexuality and relationships with your values and desires. Connect to what’s essential. Dare to be present, truthful and alive. Dare to love!

Connect to Deeper Resources 
With this one-year training you have the opportunity to commit to a powerful transformation process within a safe and supportive environment. 

The "Authentic Eros One-Year Training" helps you to have more agency in your life. When thoughts, feelings, body and actions interact well and inform each other, you can strengthen the direction and clarity on your individual path or cultivate a more pleasant way of dealing with challenges and uncertainties. You can connect to your passion, power and a sense of well being. You can grow more resilient and calm in regards to the social and collective changes we are facing today and help to shape them.

What supports the integration of body & soul, heart & mind or sex & spirit? What resources can support you in this process? What is yet to be discovered, embodied and empowered in your life?
Who will you be when you live your truth? 

Explore Personal, Relational and Universal Eros
We have been exposed to distorted messages and negative conditioning around sexuality - espespecially as gay, bi trans or queer men*. Love, connection, sexuality and Eros can be a confusing territory. Eros and sexuality for instance have become synonymous terms. However, while Eros can be expressed through sexuality, it goes far beyond sex. When our receptivity to life's breadth and depth increases, we can discover that life is propelled by Eros and suffused by love.   

Empower Queer Community & Leadership
The training is meant to help you accept what belongs to you and what makes you unique: your wholeness as well as your inner fractures. It wants to encourage you to let your potential flow also into social roles; it invites you to become active out of your essence in a joyful, creative and self-confident way - perhaps also as an initiator or leader. In the past we have asked the mainstream for acceptance. Now it is time to fully claim our seat at the table and let the unique gifts and perspectives of the queer tribe contribute to the culture at large. If you are looking for a community in which to take your personal & relational life to the next level, then this is the training for you.

General Information
Most people in this training are there because of a shared sexual orientation. However, all gay, bi, queer trans men* are welcome regardless of sexual orientation or age. If you are in a relationship you can use the training for your individual process or as a couple to deepen your relationship.

Even though every module introduces a new theme, you will build on awareness and embodiment exercises, bodywork and communication skills, movement explorations, intimacy and community building activities throughout. A coaching structure in between the modules assists you to deepen your process, address individual challenges and build group support.
