Who is this for?

This workshop is for gay, cisgender* men. We offer a variety of events, some for specific affinity groups and others for everyone.

Erotic Brotherhood 2024 will be delivered as a hybrid program consisting of five 3-hr online sessions + five 90-min online small groups + 4-day in-person workshop + one 90-min online closing session. This is a unique invitation to experience an intermediate-level hybrid intensive with three components:

Virtual Experience: each month in a Zoom session, we will focus on a core theme of Brotherhood: Integrity, the Heart, the Body, the Cock, and Spirit, where you will:

• Experience an embodied group practice.
• Tap into vulnerability around our core themes.
• Connect through heartfelt sharing in smaller breakout groups.
• Participate in a communal ritual to generate erotic energy.
• Explore with your brothers in the virtual “playground”.

Interactive Components:

• Brother Circles – 90-min monthly Zoom group meetings led by a facilitator and assistant. You will be in this group for the duration of the program.
• Buddy Pairings – a monthly 1-on-1 pairing to focus on listening, connection, and “home-play” – this pairing will usually be with someone outside your Brother Circle and will change monthly to maximize the opportunity to make new connections.
• Caim Circles – starting in July 2024, you will be invited to participate in this informal monthly circle for all men who have completed Erotic Brotherhood (including previous years’ attendees) to continue the brotherhood experience.
• A private Facebook group –  for the attendees to connect, chat, and share thoughts with the other brothers.

In-person Experience: a 4-day gathering of brothers in beautiful Big Bear, CA, May 30 – June 2, 2024, where we will expand upon our monthly virtual and interactive experiences and focus on the core themes of Community and Eros where we will:

• Create a communal living experience to practice aspects of our core themes.
• Live, explore, play, and bond through erotic practices, rituals, eating meals together, fun events, brother circles, and buddy pairings.
• Finally, we will all be meeting in-person after nearly five months of developing connections; a lot of the work building the container for the weekend will have been accomplished before we arrive.
