Beyond the Surface: a session for Queer Men Only
Now over a year old, Beyond the Surface continues to grow and shift—just like the people who step into it. Originally imagined as a space to create authentic connections with strangers and friends, going beyond the small talk and surface impressions, it has evolved into something deeper: a place where vulnerability is met with openness, and connection is prioritized over expectation.
The final edition of our three-part series takes place in a brand-new space. It might not be our forever home, but it offers us the chance to gather again—with intention and presence.
Round III, the invitation goes out to queer men only.
Since I’m not a queer man (although I swear I was one in a past life) I am collaborating with Jade Lee to co-host this event with me. Jade is an insanely talented contortionist and performer. We had a beautiful conversation about intimacy one day and I just felt this was the perfect collaboration. I have heard from many queer men that something like Beyond the Surface is so needed in their community in order to help focus on intimacy in a new light. Creating connections without expectations.
We are letting go of the pressure to perform, impress, or match. This is not about dating. It’s about meeting each other as we are. Whether you come alone or with friends, this is a space to make new connections, deepen old ones, and take off those judgment goggles society trains us to wear, just long enough to have a new experience and possibly make a new connection.
Let’s see what happens when we simply show up—with curiosity, kindness, and openness.
