New moon circles
A gentle reset on the new moon. Slow down, drop into the body, release old cycles, and set intention for the month ahead.
Push your edges.
The Space is a portable practice in Houston. Small gatherings — new moon circles, tantra practice, sacred intimacy — where you sit with people you may not know yet and understand the human condition a little better. Ten to fifteen people. A few evenings a month.
Practices
Tantra practice
Potluck-and-practice evenings with the Houston tantra community: guided connection, movement, and meditation. Sober, sliding scale, every level welcome.
Sacred intimacy
Guided, consent-based evenings of somatic practice: presence, boundaries, and the quiet work of giving and receiving. Everything is invitational.
Gatherings
Every gathering Manny has hosted on Partiful, at home and around Houston.
* PHYSICAL LOCATION
Blue — The Space Green — Houston Area
No dates on the calendar right now. Circles run a few evenings a month — follow on Partiful and you'll catch the next one.

The body of work
The practice so far
Circles, sound baths, tantra evenings, sacred intimacy gatherings. Held small on purpose, held regularly. The room changes; the practice doesn't.
On gathering with Manny
No one else is as quick to say hello to a stranger, ask a genuinely interesting and thoughtful question, or bring a group together.
During the pandemic, Manny opened up his backyard as a safe gathering space for neighbors. Around a bonfire, we could safely connect, share food, and offer each other support in uncertain times.
We bonded over spirituality, healthy lifestyles, and healing modalities — sound therapy, dance, meditation. When Manny believes in something, he is all in: serving the community, personal development, and true connection.
He regularly hosted gatherings that brought together people of all generations — friends, neighbors, and family alike. Warm, inclusive events that reflected the same community spirit I've known in him since we were teenagers.
In both Atlanta and DC he created community organizations and held potluck dinners and events to engage with his neighbors. Generous by nature, outgoing and kind in the way he meets people.
He invites me over for dinner get-togethers in his home, where he shows himself to be a gracious, thoughtful host and a very good cook.
Not to be missed. Always satisfying.
Come sit with us.
