Retreats and workshops
My current focus is working in collaboration on retreats and workshops for gay/bi men.
Retreats and workshops
Step away, reset and reconnect.
The retreats with Martin and myself bring together yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, mindful practice, massage, conscious touch, nature and carefully held group space. The focus is simple: to feel calmer, safer, more connected and more at home in yourself.

I have laughed till tears ran down my face; I have cried with tears running down my face; I have sat by the fireside in silent companionship; I have felt the tenderness of loving hands.

Men’s Retreat for Vitality & Wellbeing.
Casa Agama, Gran Canaria
13th - 19th September 2025
A seven-day retreat for gay and bi men combining yoga, breathwork, mindful movement, massage and conscious touch. The week offered time in community, personal space, shared practice and deeper exploration of body, mind, sensuality and wellbeing.

The glorious food! Sitting at the tables eating freshly prepared food and chatting to other like-minded men about our everyday experiences. I found that educational and inspirational.
