The Massage Weekend for Men is a weekend long event with some guided facilitated massage sessions beginning with Friday evening, three on Saturday, and one on Sunday with plenty of opportunity for mutual massage exchanges throughout the weekend. Plus Starland offers leisure activities such as the hot tub, desert site seeing, and hiking. There are also board or parlor games. There are even arts and crafts.

The guided sessions allow for all men to be treated equally with a focus on what each one of us can offer, as opposed to "get." This approach can teach consciousness in the way we approach each other for friendship and intimacy.

Your Host:
Matrix, has facilitated many massage events in Los Angeles via the Radical Faerie venue "Moon Circle" -a men's spiritual social group in Los Angeles.

Matrix's approach to massage is simply a way for men to get together and share some bonding time. The simple art of touch and the consciousness behind it, what we can learn about ourselves and each other through this simple art can change your life in almost all other aspects. Every human interaction can be shown in this microcosm of touch and being touched.

Therapeutic Touch:
"Do you touch for yourself, do you touch for someone else, or both?" Do you allow yourself to be touched for yourself, do your allow yourself to be touched for someone else, or both?"

Sexuality is not the point, yet not ignored. How to both give and receive graciously in terms of touch and intimacy is the objective of some of the group massage exercises. Having fun is just the natural by-product.

Therapeutic Massage:
"Touch" is therapeutic, but for some its not so much about touch or intimacy, but more about the actual deep firm muscle, tendon, and joint manipulation. We will touch on this subject somewhat and it will also depend on the talents of some of the attendees. Other professionals are welcome to share their wisdom.

To get the most out of the weekend, come prepared to participate as fully as possible. Be on-time for scheduled events. Be prepared.

We're certain you'll have wonderful experience during this all-male communal exchange.
