Details of this retreat

7 days of kinky, sexual awakening for men.
Explore your kinky side in a safe, consensual container.Expand the limits of your sexual creativity.
 
WHAT and WHY?
This conscious kink experience combines the playfulness of summer camp, but with a lot more sexual permission.The connection available in a tantra retreat, but with more playful kinky exploration.The sexual permissiveness of a circuit holiday or gay cruise, but with heartfelt, conscious connection.
Our sexuality holds our greatest creativity and power.What makes us hard, wet and gets us excited allows us to get to know who we truly are.
Explore your wildest fantasies and some you never even imagined… 
Welcome to the sexy, conscious, kinky ‘summer’ camp you really wished for as a teenager 😉
 
What does 'Conscious' mean to us?
 
We differentiate Conscious Kink from other kink practices through the following 4 main pillars:
1) Intention'Conscious' starts with the intention we set. We intend to be present with ourselves and our partners, rather than simply be guided by our unconscious patterns.
2) ConnectionWe intend to create spaces of deep connection with others. We hold space for their needs and voice our own for them to be seen and honored.
3) EmbodimentWe intend to inhabit the body rather than be in the mind. We can then hold a better space of presence and consciousness for ourselves and others.
4) SafetyWe create safer spaces by taking care of ourselves, holding safety within ourselves and doing our best to create spaces of safety for others.
 
BROTHERHOOD, CONNECTION & SAFETY
 
FAQ : How sexual will it get? How do you manage consent and safety?
✔ We will create a safe space first by establishing ways of voicing consent and boundaries.
✔ Each participant will be responsible for their own body, for respecting their desires and boundaries.
✔ Each participant will be able to decide “how far” they choose to go.
✔ Participation in workshops and partner practices will always be optional.
✔ In some workshops, pairings might be randomly assigned. Therefore, participants choosing to engage in partner work must be open to interacting with anyone. You will be able to choose the level of interaction you are comfortable with at any moment, ranging from eye-gazing to more explicit touch and interaction.

PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT: The Conscious Kink team and the Jungle Gayborhood aim 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 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.

Jungle Gayborhood restores you emotional, physical, spiritual and sensual selves
Hi My name is Michael Dru Kelley. The Jungle Gayborhood is where I have just finished two outstanding weeks with one week focused on plant medicine and ensuing journeys to help heal, inspire and activate new aspects of my life in ways beyond my expectations.
The second week was more physical with warriors from Naked Warrior Yoga.
I know this has been said many times, yet my journeys have been life changing, affirming and motivating to live my truth that “every new moment is a new moment to show love, starting with myself.” And, it further affirmed my life mission to advance equality for the queer community and leave the world a better place. The healing was so incredible. The love I found in myself and the support of others who experienced it was not of this world and definitely told me heaven starts with the ones you love, forgive and grow with. As Terence Mckenna so wisely says “What’s primary is the felt presence of experience and that is the source of love.” If you are looking to work on your spiritual, emotional, physical and sensual parts, the jungle gayborhood is your Costa Rican jungle casa for the heart, mind and body. It has changed my life in the most beautiful way, and I can’t wait to impact others with nothing but love. Thank you, Jungle Gayborhood, for restoring parts of me that died along the way and awakening my full potential to love every minute, starting with myself. xo
