About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Meet differently. Desire consciously. Deepen intimacy.

Spend Valentine’s weekend exploring love, desire and intimacy in a different way.

“Desire, Connection & Intimacy” is a four-day Tantra retreat for gay, bi and queer men, whether single or in a relationship. Rather than offering a formula for finding love, the retreat invites you to become more conscious of how you meet, choose, desire and connect with other men.

Through body-based practices, meditation, massage, sharing circles and partnered exploration, you’ll explore what happens within you as connection becomes more intimate. You’ll be invited to listen more closely to your body, heart, desire and boundaries, and discover ways of relating with greater awareness and freedom.

Single men and couples share the same journey. Wherever your love life is today, this is an opportunity to slow down, connect and bring fresh attention to the way you meet and love.

Schedule

From Attraction to Intimacy: Exploring How We Meet and Love

The retreat unfolds gradually across four days, combining embodied Tantric practice with relational exploration, massage, meditation and time for integration.

A typical day may include:
• Morning meditation, breathwork or embodied movement
• Practices exploring attraction, desire and relational patterns
• Conscious touch and Tantric massage
• Partner exercises exploring presence, trust and intimacy
• Sharing circles and opportunities for personal reflection
• Time to rest, walk, journal or enjoy the surrounding countryside
• Evening rituals and guided connection practices

The journey is experiential rather than performance-based. You are encouraged to notice what happens in your body, emotions and desire as you connect with different men.
All practices are optional. Consent, respect and personal choice are central throughout the retreat.
Note: Schedule is approximate and may change
