We see ourselves as pioneers of personal growth for men who love men, whether gay, bisexual, queer or transgender.
We are a beautiful, exciting, internationally diverse community that wants to grow together and experience joy and security on the path to more inner and outer freedom.
Inner Growth Through Fun and Connection
Many of us have grown up in family and social environments that were restrictive, anti-erotic, or rooted in religious and moral constraints. These influences have shaped us in various ways, often limiting our capacity for joy and self-acceptance.
That's why we have created a space where our chosen family can come together, embracing pleasure, play, and deep connection. We celebrate the radiant aspects of our sexuality and the supportive, affirming power of our community of men. In doing so, we open ourselves to the transformative energy of love, the wisdom of the spirits, and our connection with nature and Mother Earth.
Inner Growth Through Real Encounters
We believe that lasting personal growth comes from fully meeting ourselves—acknowledging and embracing all aspects of who we are. Through meditation, bodywork, yoga, tantra, and spiritual rituals, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
Along the way, we confront our inner demons, recognizing and releasing the fears and limitations that bind us. Within our community, we support each other step by step, creating a space where everyone can move toward greater freedom and self-acceptance.
The Gay World is Not Homogeneous
Globally, LGBTQ+ people experience vastly different realities. We exist within a four-tier society, classified by the legal recognition of same-sex relationships. In some countries, same-sex marriage is fully equal (class 1), while others offer limited partnership rights (class 2). Many nations ignore our existence (class 3), and in the most oppressive places, we are persecuted, imprisoned, or even sentenced to death (class 4).
Even in legally safe countries, discrimination persists—on the streets, in workplaces, and in personal relationships. Beyond growing up in repressive family environments, the global social and legal challenges faced by LGBTQ+ people reinforce the need to live by our own values, to stand together as a community, and to keep growing and loving despite adversity.
What Does Freedom Mean to Us?
To us, freedom means the ability to make conscious, empowering choices at any time. True freedom requires both external and internal peace. While material security can be a small part of this, real freedom extends far beyond material wealth—it encompasses self-care on all levels, the fulfillment of our longing for love, sex, connection, and community, and the ability to navigate shared spaces with mutual respect and understanding. Only through community and compromise can freedom become the foundation for living our dreams.
Equality
Every person deserves equal respect and the right to express their sexuality and spirituality freely. We believe that anyone drawn to our community should be able to participate, regardless of age, race, religion, physical appearance, or financial means.
We acknowledge that we come from diverse social and economic backgrounds. For those with lower incomes, we offer social pricing, and when even that is inaccessible, we provide opportunities for participation through cooperative support. Additionally, some of our privileged members contribute to scholarships, ensuring that financial limitations never become a barrier to connection and growth.
We Are (Still) a Part-Time Community
Our community comes together through workshops, retreats, trainings, rituals, private meetings, and individual sessions. We are dedicated to maintaining a safe and supportive space in every encounter.
Beyond our in-person gatherings, we are expanding into digital connection spaces, creating a small online meeting system where we can continue to engage with each other and grow as a community of like-minded souls.
