What becomes possible when touch is slower, clearer, and more intentional?
Glide - Bodywork Course at Terra Rosa is a 6-day professional training for queer men in somatic touch, held at our retreat center in Spain.
This is an invitation to expand how you connect through touch that is confident, consensual, and deeply attuned. Over six immersive days, you'll explore new ways of giving and receiving pleasure and touch that don't rely on performance or penetration, but instead on presence, sensitivity, and choice.
Participants leave with a broader, more creative relationship to touch and intimacy: more ease in their hands, more clarity in their communication, and more confidence both as a giver and a receiver. Whether in intimate relationships or professional settings, this work opens up new pathways for connection, pleasure, and trust - rooted in the body, not scripts.


Glide - Bodywork Course for Queer Men is a 6-day immersive training for queer men-identifying persons.
Through a deep dive into anatomy, diverse somatic techniques, and daily embodied practice - including giving and receiving two sessions a day - participants build confidence, sensitivity, and range in both giving and receiving touch.
This training is designed for people who wish to offer bodywork and touch professionally, as well as those who want to deepen intimacy, connection, and pleasure in their personal and relational lives.
