8:00 PM - 9:30 PM - Opening Circle & Ritual Undressing - Great Room
Welcome to SunClad! We'll gather together to introduce ourselves and officially get naked together (please wear clothes so that we can take them off together).

Tuesday, July 28

7:30 AM - 8:30 AM - Morning Yoga with Tim Cooley - Great Room
Join our resident yogi for morning yoga. Tim is very skilled at making it accessible for all levels from beginners to experts. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, or nothing at all.

OR - Intentional Self-Pleasuring with Etienne - Temple
This experience begins with Betty Martin's "Waking Up the Hands," inviting you to explore how your hands receive pleasure, not just give it. Using eye masks, we'll tune into sensation without visual distraction, generating a shared sense of presence and erotic energy. Later, we'll remove the masks and notice how the experience changes through connection and eye contact. The focus is on mindfulness, embodiment, and exploring your own pleasure in the company of others. Participants are invited to remain present with whatever unfolds naturally, without expectation or pressure. This experience is centered on self-exploration and does not include touching others.

8:30 AM - 9:30 AM - Breakfast

Please attend your small group.

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM - Our Naked Stories with the SunClad Team - Great Room
Join us to talk about being naked. What does it mean to you? Is nudity erotic, about freedom, or both? How does it fit into your day-to-day life? Come join the conversation. We will also do some basic exercises in asking, receiving, and communicating.

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Lunch

2:30 PM - 4:30 PM - Why Not Yes? with Mark Canlas - Great Room
How often do we hold back because we’re afraid of looking foolish, getting it wrong, or not knowing what to say? Improv offers another possibility: listen closely, trust your impulses, and build something together. Through playful, low-pressure games, we’ll practice letting go of perfection, taking creative risks, and becoming more present and connected. The goal isn’t to be clever or put on a performance—it’s to rediscover the joy of surprising yourself and being supported by others. No experience is necessary; come as you are, with curiosity and a willingness to play.

OR - Loving Our Bare Bodies with Freddy & Jay Freeman - Temple
Through a series of exercises, you will be guided in helping one another shed the “armor” we hide behind, share affirmative touch, and honor each other’s bodies. All participants must be willing to be undressed and exchange affirmative touch with the other men in the workshop. This experience includes some light erotic touch, but it is not a sex party. Participants are asked to set their own boundaries and challenge their comfort zones in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Please put on one item of clothing on your upper body and one on your lower body so that we can ritually remove them together.

4:30 PM - 6:30 PM - Yard Time
Each afternoon there will be time for pop-up workshops and activities like nature hikes, body painting, games, spontaneous gatherings, and simply enjoying the grounds together. If you'd like to offer a pop-up activity, let one of the hosts know!

In this workshop, participants will explore photography as a way to reveal the body privately or share it intentionally with others. Using cell phones, participants will take a series of selfies that can become a personal portfolio or be shared with others.

Please attend your small group.

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM - Naked Blooms with Steve Sallis - Deck
Ever wondered how to create a floral arrangement for your next dinner party or special occasion? What flowers should you use? What container will work best? How long will the arrangement last? Steve Sallis, resident floral designer at Easton, will show you the fundamentals of creating a floral arrangement with a list of dos and don'ts. We will gather flowers and other flora during the workshop to create the arrangements. Any experience level with floral arranging, or none, is welcome. You will be able to take your arrangement home with you after SunClad.

2:30 PM - 4:30 PM - Tantric Massage Exchange with Etienne - Great Room
Experience intimate connection through heartfelt sensual touch, with encouragement and permission to ask for what you want in this ritual of raising erotic energy together. Participants will be randomly paired for a guided massage exchange. We will touch with only our hands, to as much of our bodies as we desire, including, but not limited to, our external erotic engines. This is a hands-only experience with no insertive touch and no specific goal, including orgasm, in mind. The goal, if any, is to play, to pleasure, to dance, and to be fully alive in our bodies. When you are on the table, the invitation is to focus on receiving the touch you want, perhaps even experimenting with different kinds of touch. As Mark Fleming would say, "Gather the data." When you are giving, the focus is on the person you are touching, with your heart in your hands. What is this body telling you? How is it responding? Space is limited. Sign-up is required. A sign-up sheet will be available on opening night

OR - Faerie Houses & Community Mandala with Moss Tidd - Meet in Temple
Led by metal sculptor Moss Tidd, this hands-on workshop invites you to build either a whimsical faerie house or a circular altar called a mandala using natural and upcycled materials. Both projects begin with a creative walk to gather beautiful elements from nature. Then grab a glue gun and let your imagination take over. Our creations will be displayed at the Art Symposium and may even be incorporated into Friday night's Community Ritual. Sign-up required.

4:30 PM - 6:30 PM - Yard Time
Each afternoon there will be time for pop-up workshops and activities like nature hikes, body painting, games, spontaneous gatherings, and simply enjoying the grounds together. If you’d like to offer a pop-up activity, let one of the hosts know!

Please attend your small group.

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM - The Power of Ritual with Boreas - Meet in the Great Room
Ritual is a spiritual technology that allows us to tap into altered consciousness both deeply and intentionally. Contemporary Pagan Witchcraft has preserved and innovated Earth-centered European techniques similar to those used in pre-Christian antiquity. Pagan ritual is an unfolding of the Self within a framework that allows one to relax into harmony with their surroundings. In this workshop, we will practice the elements of ritual that put us into flow and a state of play that produces childlike wonder, facilitating deep healing and groundedness. Participants will also help begin shaping and preparing the space for the community ritual that evening, putting these ideas into practice as part of the workshop. Though the river of the Self is always present, the currents are constantly changing. Hop on in. The water’s fine!

OR - The Eros of the Word with Jonathan Comisar - Temple
The spoken word is one of our most powerful tools on our sensual and sexual journeys. Through a series of playful and sensual exercises, we'll explore how language can delight the senses, awaken the erotic spirit, and deepen connection. We'll also set aside time to write and share our own personal erotica and fantasies.

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Lunch

2:30 PM - 4:30 PM - Music & Healing with David Jarvis, Michael O'Flaherty & Cameron Fadjo - Great Room
Join us for a new and uplifting workshop exploring the powerful connection between music and healing. Together, we'll create sounds and rhythms, make simple instruments, explore movement and musical play, and share experiences of how music touches the soul. And, of course, make a joyful noise! No musical experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity, your spirit, and your voice. Come discover how music can open the heart, connect us to one another, and restore the soul.

OR - Oral Sex: Continuing the Tradition with Gianni Caminiti - Temple
Building on the age-old tradition of passing on history from one generation to the next through storytelling and folktales, this workshop invites participants to explore how different generations of gay men found social, emotional, and physical connection before today’s app culture.
