Let's talk about sex...

Porn + guesswork is not the education we deserve...

This group workshop series is about elevating the conversations we have about sex. No shame. No stigma. Just real, honest conversations about sex, desire, and identity. We will be talking about things like masculinity, pleasure, desire, libido, porn, masturbation, body image and more. BUT we'll be taking a sex positive approach where authenticity and vulnerability is encouraged. You will also have the opportunity to get coaching from Michael, certified life coach, on any specific challenges you may be facing during the workshop.
Join the Spring 2025 Workshop!

We're changing the way we think about and have sex. Feel the energy of being in community while you grow and evolve... and we'll have some fun along the way! By the end of the 7 weeks, you'll feel more sexually liberated and empowered.

What people are saying

Real participants, real words...

"I got to meet a new connection"

Larry

I got a lot from the workshops and I enjoyed hearing the men speak in the group discussion. Michael was an awesome facilitator; so wise, graceful, respectful and on the all ball. The material is exceptional, and I got to meet a new connection. I look forward to the next one.

"Safe space for everyone"

Stefano

Michael consistently carves out a safe space for everyone to share and crafts our opinions into golden nuggets of wisdom, through his heartfelt reflections.

"I need that in my life"

Pietar

The biggest surprise was how much we laughed! Even about the ‘taboo’ things. Michael’s breezy approach to sex makes it fun and easy to speak freely about it. I need that in my life.

"Makes everyone feel welcome"

Liam

Join in, Michael is very knowledgeable, open, and makes everyone feel welcome in the workshops. Very positive and safe space. No judgement. Super knowledgeable, and you can participate as much as you’d like.

FAQ

  • Do I need to attend all the workshops?

    No. You are free to choose which ones you'd like to join, but naturally I'd love to see you at all of them to foster connection and community with your peers.

  • Can I pay per workshop?

    No. For the one-time payment, you get access to all 7 workshops and all related materials.

  • I'm shy in groups. Do I need to prepare anything for the group discussions?

    Not at all. The purpose is to provide an opportunity discuss your unique experiences and listen as others do the same. You are not obligated to share; holding space for others to share is just as valuable.

  • What are the weekly challenges about?

    Register to find out! Each week, there will be a small challenge that is designed to help you apply the discussion topics 'in the real world'. They're meant to be fun and easy. Don't worry, they're not mandatory, just encouraged.

  • Why are you limiting the group size?

    My experience with group facilitation is that a size of 8-12 is the sweet spot for this content. A smaller group encourages greater sense of safety and intimacy.

  • What is the format of each workshop?

    I'll start with a brief overview of the week's topic. Then we'll go into group discussion and sharing. Finally, there will be an opportunity to get coaching and ask for peer support.

  • I'm not gay. Can I still join?

    Yes. Full disclosure: the workshop content has been designed for men who primarily have sex with men, but the concepts can still be applied to men who have sex with women or are undecided about what they like.

You deserve to feel good

Our sex "education" is often riddled with shame and judgment which makes it difficult to feel open-minded and playful in your sex life. Sexual empowerment is one of my favourite topics to coach on. You will walk away from these workshops feeling more liberated and empowered - plus you'll have connected with some awesome guys on a similar journey.
