FORGE
bathhouse and group wellness
for Boston’s LGBTQ+ community
Massage is a powerful way to exchange energy and sensation. Especially in cultures where touch among men is a scarce resource, the body can respond in profound ways to supportive touch.
In this queer massage space, a licensed massage therapist will guide you through a full-body massage flow, one hour as a giver and one hour as a receiver. You’ll learn form, techniques, and communication so that both parties feel great!
We will rotate partners six times so that you can exchange massage with as many other folks as possible. Or, if you sign up as a couple and wish to remain with your partner the entire time, that is completely welcome.
We will provide massage tables, sheets, and hypoallergenic massage lotion. Participants will be draped and undressed. After the workshop, there is a tea room and optional play time.

@ Outermost Yoga in Ptown
Join us this summer for two powerful workshops that will leave you feeling energized and connected. FORGE Boston, MMX NYC, and Outermost Yoga are teaming up to bring you two special offerings in yoga and massage, designed for guys looking for wellness and restoration during your time in Provincetown.
The magic happens at Outermost Yoga (494 Commercial St., 2nd floor) both nights. Advance registration and a $40 payment through Outermost Yoga’s booking site are required. Bring an open heart and be ready to make a new friend or two!
July 7: David S. of FORGE leads a 45-minute individual naked yoga flow followed by 30 minutes of tantric partner yoga. Mixing and mingling encouraged, though you may opt out of the partner work at any time. After class, stay for social time until 7:30pm.
July 9: MMX Founder Jeff Vilensky leads an intro to touch and bodywork. Through carefully guided instruction, you'll learn easy-to-remember techniques on how to start a bodywork session, working with oil/cream, how to hold your body properly, where to put your hands, and what not to do! Work with your own partner or we can partner you up to experience many sets of hands. We'll go shirtless for most of this workshop and practice on yoga mats.
FORGE is partnering with Dyke Night Boston to bring you sapphic naked yoga events in our Dorchester studio! This class is specifically for queer women, nb, and trans yoga lovers.
Class lasts an hour. Half of the time will be spent in individual yoga, and the other half will be focused on partner work with 3-4 other people. We will encourage mixing and mingling, but you may opt out of the partner work at any time. After class there will be an hour to sip tea and socialize in the lounge as well as more private areas.
Mats will be available for rent for $5 each.
