🌳Fierce Summer Queers🌳
Saturday 18 July 10.00 – 19.00
Sunday 19 July 11.00 – 18.30
You are invited to the first ever Fierce Queers Summer Weekend! We — Ayo and Axel — are excited to bring the magic from the Fierce Queers programme into a heart-centered weekend of touch, pleasure, nature, and connectedness 🪢
The sun is back! 🌞 We're taking our fierce queerness out into Grunewald for a day of queer embodiment and sensual explorations, before returning to our familiar nest in the Skinship space to enjoy a day of massage.
At the heart 🫀 of Fierce Queers is the exploration of how we, in our full complexity, can take up more space with who we are and what we want. Some of our fierce strategies are necessary and fabulous; some are maybe ready to soften and change.
We believe being together in nature 🌳 is a simple and deeply profound experience that can reconnect us with resources we sometimes forget in our busy city life.
Open to all genders and self-identified queerness. No previous experience needed.
We hope you will join us! — Axel & Ayo
Saturday · Grunewald
Fierce in Forest > We will meet at a train station at 10am, travel together, and walk to our spot.
Forest Rooting
We arrive together in the forest — connecting, getting acquainted, and establishing consent through sensing and touch. Where do we end and begin in our relationship with the trees, the soil, each other?
Museum of Sensual Creatures
Solo pieces merging into group sculptures. Welcome to the touch-positive museum where consent is key. Feel free to bring outfits, fabrics, and textures that speak to your eco-lover fantasies.
Stories of the Heart — Bodywork Exchange
We take another step in getting to know each other. Listening to each person's heart — what is it longing for? What is holding it back? When we long for something new, the experience lives in the body alongside our thoughts and emotions. This session touches that complexity, gently returning us to a felt sense of navigation and agency.
We will be within walking distance of Teufelsee, so you can choose to end the day with a dip before heading back to the city.
Sunday · Skinship Space, Rudolfstr. 11, Berlin
Full Body Massage Exchange
A day dedicated to a full-body massage with oil, shaped by the wishes of the receiver and the attentiveness of the giver. Nakedness is welcome, never required. All parts of the body are welcome — our intention is flow, presence, and pleasure. In duos or trios depending on the wishes of the group.

**About us **
We have been together as a couple for the past nine years and both became interested in embodied practices when we moved to Berlin eight years ago. Delving into embodiment while learning it as a new profession has been a great pleasure in our relationship. After working one-on-one with many individuals and facilitating a lot of workshops, we felt a desire to go deeper. Through our work, we have recognized a need within our clients and community for a space to practice being in connection with other queer people, to experience intimacy, touch, vulnerability, explore the pleasure body, and receive emotional care. Fierce Queers is our response to that need.
**Ayo Gry Jonassen, ** white, ** ** danish/berlinish, non-binary trans (they/ he)
I work as a somatic practitioner, workshop facilitator, and art collaborator, and co-founder of Skinship_Berlin. My trainings includes Sexological Bodywork, Tantra massage, Mind/Body Therapy, and Pantarei Approach. My mission is to foster healthy communities where relational and emotional intelligence are integral parts of our bodies and nature. Pleasure and consent are core principles in my teachings, and I am particularly focused on healing wounds related to queer experiences while empowering the resources and knowledge that emerge from queer lives. Additionally, I have a background in climate and social activism, as well as in nature and community building.
Axel (he/him), white, danish, trans, dog dad. I have been passionate about building a practice as a somatic practitioner since moving to Berlin 8 years ago. For the past 5 years, this has been my full-time profession and I continue to feel a lot of gratitude about being able to do this work. I have trained in Bodywork through the Pantarei Approach and Somatic Experiencing. I am involved in the Stretch Festival, an embodiment festival for queer masculinities, where I work as a co-curator. Building bridges of understanding between the diverse identities within the queer community holds a special place in my heart. I also have a background in social justice work, centered on better access to healthcare for trans people and other gender minorities.
