Masculine expression
Express masculinity in your own way, through strength, creativity, tenderness or play. Connect with other queer men in a space that welcomes different bodies and ways of being.
Modern Palaestra / A concept for adult queer men
Move freely.
Belong fully.
A vision for a cruising-friendly, clothing-optional wellness space where movement, masculine expression and community belong together.
Somatic embodiment
Build a closer relationship with your body through movement, wrestling and shared practice. Notice sensation, explore physical expression and practice being present.
Sexual empowerment
Explore desire, boundaries and connection in an adult, clothing-optional, cruising-friendly environment. Consent, clear communication and mutual respect make room for confidence without pressure.
The next gathering
Let’s get on the mat.
Modern Palaestra: Nude Wrestling for Queer Men
Kink Center
814 East Pike St, Seattle$25 admission
814 East Pike St, Seattle$25 admission
A dry-wrestling gathering for adult queer men, including trans men. Beginners and spectators are welcome, with a consent orientation to start.
This gathering is a way to practice and learn together as the larger wellness-space concept develops.
See Luma for current ticket details and availability.
The space & its connections
An idea taking shape.
The entrance and app concepts explore how arriving, training and connecting could feel. These are design studies, not features of an operating gym.
I’m interested in conversations with potential collaborators, community partners and people with experience creating wellness spaces.
