Details of this retreat

The retreat is for any LGBTQIA+ individual seeking to deepen their yoga and wellness practice with nourishing and meaningful self soothing techniques. Beginner, intermediate and advanced yogis are all welcome.


Welcome to a truly unique yoga and wellness retreat brought to you by California based yogi Noah Juliano.


The intention for this course is to cultivate a community of individuals seeking truth and love amidst the heart of Costa Rica’s lush jungle. Envelop yourself in like-minded humans yearning for belonging, contentment and inner stillness amongst this ever changing and chaotic age of uncertainty.


What Can I Expect?


In the lush jungles of Costa Rica, health and wellness will reconnect you with the highest Self. We will activate ancient care tactics, self soothing methods, yoga asana exploration, breathwork and introduction to meditation.


The Jungle Gayborhood is a clothing optional retreat center where all attendees are permitted, but not required, to be naked at any point of the week.


Some workshops will incorporate sensual touch. Consent is at the heart of everything we do. Participation in any or part of the workshops is optional. The simple joys of laying in a hammock or sitting under a waterfall are also available all week long.


This is your time to thrive on your terms in a serene sanctuary.


Maximize your growth through moments of expansion, relaxation and well being.


The purpose of this retreat is to create space for alternative and unique people to join together in a beautiful, tropical oasis. Finding a place to fully express oneself can be hard to find in most heteronormative retreats.


Workshops include Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Sound Healings, Active Listening, Chakra Balancing, Sacred Chanting Bhajan Circle, Drag N’ Yoga Dance Party (yes, bring a drag look, hunny!) , Unlearning Shame Through Liberating Movement, Wavy Waterbending Ocean Edging Beach Day, Watsu Water Yoga in the Pool, Cuddle Puddle Bonfire with S’mores, Contact Improvisation, Throat Activation Vocal Workshops, 8 Hands Massage Demo, and much more.

PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT: The Jungle Gayborhood aims to inspire personal exploration, radical self-expression, and a sense of connection - internally, with community, and with nature. We actively cultivate practices that support these goals by consciously exploring embodiment practices, authentic relating, somatic movement therapy, shamanism and sacred sexuality.


To create a predictable and safe environment conducive to this type of healing, growth, reflection, and expansion, we ask all that come to our home to align around these community agreements.

An experience like no other!
The Jungle Gayborhood is an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever. After two years of following it on Instagram, we were thrilled to finally make it a reality and spend our New Year’s Eve there. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Nick and shown our room. Ryan then provided us with a comprehensive overview of the place, sharing all the details. We also met Tone, Brandee, and Jess, who made us feel incredibly special and valued. As soon as we stepped onto the property, I could sense the magical and energetic vibe that this place exudes. It’s a unique atmosphere that I’ve never encountered before. Jungle Gayborhood has created this space with such intentional and deliberate details, and they’ve staffed it perfectly to deliver a heartfelt and raw experience.

I’ve attended numerous gay events, but this communal queer living amidst the lush jungle of Costa Rica truly stands out as an unforgettable adventure. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their gender identity, sexuality, race, creed, or culture. I eagerly anticipate witnessing the ongoing evolution of this unique community.

A gay Christmas jungle holiday
I came to the holiday retreat with no expectations and left feeling refreshed restored and having spent some wonderful quality time with my chosen family. I can’t say enough good things about getting to know JGBH staff and the effort they put into making me feel welcome and happy to have trekked deep into a magical place where there’s excellent yoga every morning, family style well prepared meals and caring people all around that are excellent at what they do for the guests and the community. So glad I went and to have spent Christmas and new years holidays here.
