Conscious Kink: PLAY
With Marc Peridis and Andy Gunn
April 13 - 19, 2025
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) Connection
We 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) Embodiment
We 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) Safety
We 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.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
A 7-day conscious play-space in a lush jungle paradise. There will be lots of sex-positive open spaces, as well as optional workshops and guided open-spaces for more creative exploration.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
✔ This play-week is open to all male-identified bodies, of any sexual orientation, age, body-type, race.
✔ No previous experience of this type is necessary, but a willingness for sexual exploration is key.
✔It is for those who are seeking to expand their creativity.
It won’t be of interest to those who are:
✗ Simply looking for a typical group-sex experience.
✗ Seeking a pleasurable / sexual holiday in the company of other men.
✗ Those who are looking to learn tantra massage techniques.
PS: we believe all these above things are wonderful. However, people with these desires and expectations will be disappointed by this play-week.

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.
