MEN IN TOUCH
Men sharing caring touch
Our Mission
We are men exploring what it means to share real intimacy with other men (including trans men). Erotic energy has great power and potential for guiding us through healing and transformation.
Men In Touch is dedicated to promoting vitality in body, heart and soul through the medium of touch, mindfulness, yoga and movement.
We strive to create safe and inviting spaces for men of all types to explore their creativity, sexuality, and spirituality.
Reviews from Previous Retreatants
-
“You have created an amazing space for this intimacy and touching … You have struck a balance between structure and free association which made me feel comfort, nurturance, confidence, and freedom…”
-
“The effects of the workshop, I feel, are life-changing. Something deep within me has shifted and I can more easily say ‘I deserve to feel this good and to love myself.' I’ve been taking a lot of time for myself and reconnecting to myself and it feels great. You are really doing great work!”

Jeff Slow Hand (he/him)
I'm grateful to live, work and play in Vancouver, on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples. I've given massages informally for twenty years, and in 2018 started a sensual massage practice, Slow Hand Massage (www.slowhandmassage.com). I take a meditative, sensual and integrative approach to support people of all genders and orientations to discover, enjoy and improve their relationship with their whole bodies, just the way they are.
Chris John (he/him)
I have been teaching yoga and movement, both privately and wth Health Initiative for Men, over the past 10 years. I enjoy teaching all levels, but my main interests is to teach those who are newer to the practice. My passion for yoga stems from my time as a modern dancer. I’ve always been fascinated with how the human form moves through space. And being able to transition my passion of dance to yoga has been a rewarding journey.
Sequoia and James Broughton
James Broughton was a pioneering film-maker and playful poet. From 1980 until his passing in 1999, he was a major mentor and dear friend of Sequoia, and inspired us at several events with his wisdom and unconditional love.
