This workshop is for cisgender* men of all orientations who are comfortable interacting erotically with other men. We offer a variety of events, some for specific affinity groups and others for everyone.
The facilitators for this event include JoJo Bear.
Erotic Brotherhood 2026 will be delivered as a hybrid program, consisting of the following components:
- Five monthly 3-hour sessions online
- Five monthly 90-minute small groups online
- A 5-day in-person workshop
- One 2-hour online closing session
This program offers a unique opportunity to experience an intermediate-level hybrid intensive with three main 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. During these sessions, you will:
- Participate in 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: Monthly 90-minute Zoom group meetings led by a facilitator and an assistant. You will remain in this group for the duration of the program.
- Buddy Pairings: Monthly one-on-one pairings focused on listening, connection, and “home-play.” These pairings will typically be with someone outside your Brother Circle and will change monthly to maximize the opportunity to make new connections.
- Caim Circles: Starting in July 2026, you will be invited to participate in this informal monthly circle for all men who have completed Erotic Brotherhood (including attendees from previous years), to continue the brotherhood experience.
- Private Facebook Group: A space for attendees to connect, chat, and share thoughts with the other brothers.
