A Summer Holiday for the Body, Heart and Senses

Spend eight days exploring pleasure, sensuality and authentic connection with other gay and queer men in the beautiful countryside of southern France.

This summer retreat combines neo-Tantra with the freedom of a relaxing holiday. Through meditation, conscious touch, Tantric massage, breathwork, movement and sharing circles, you'll be invited to deepen your connection with your body, explore desire and discover new ways of relating to others.

The program balances guided experiences with generous free time to relax by the swimming pool, enjoy nature and connect with fellow participants.

Facilitated by Guillaume Douceré, founder of Men's Hearts, the retreat offers a respectful, consent-based environment where you can explore at your own pace. Come alone or with a partner, whether you're new to Tantra or have previous experience.

Facilitation is in French, with English translation throughout.

Retreat fee: €790 per person. Accommodation and full-board meals are booked separately with Le Hameau de l'Étoile, starting from €85 per night.
