Radiant Heart: Journey to Self-Love for GBTQ+ Men
With Andrew Mychal, John Jacob Mubarak and Rocky Heron
February 9 - 16, 2025
Join us for Radiant Heart: Journey to Self-Love for GBTQ+ Men, a transformative wellness retreat designed to guide queer men on a profound path of healing and self-love. Hosted at our exclusive retreat center and nestled in the heart of nature, this experience integrates sacred plant ceremonies with daily embodiment practices like yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Human Design—all led by skilled facilitators. It offers the perfect sanctuary for GBTQ+ men of all ages, identities, and backgrounds, providing an inclusive environment for both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
At Radiant Heart, you will be immersed in the natural world and supported by a loving, queer community as you journey toward self-awareness and self-love. Through workshops, embodiment practices, and sacred plant ceremonies (optional), you’ll be invited to reflect on your personal transformation, connect with like-minded individuals, and experience a deep sense of belonging.
Whether you’re at the beginning of your self-discovery journey or seeking to deepen your spiritual practice, this retreat offers a holistic approach to healing and personal growth. You’ll receive guidance to navigate challenges such as perfectionism, lack of boundaries, or feelings of unworthiness. You will be empowered to trust your intuition, stop seeking answers outside yourself, and open to new possibilities in life.
This retreat is ideal for GBTQ+ men ready for meaningful change, seeking joy, authentic connection, and healing. The retreat package includes carefully selected accommodations, organic meals, and daily practices. Pre-retreat preparation and post-retreat support calls are also offered to help integrate your experience into everyday life.
*Please note that Radiant Heart: Journey to Self-Love for GBTQ+ Men is a non-sexual retreat. While we encourage authentic connection, emotional intimacy, and community building, this retreat is designed to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for personal growth and healing. We kindly ask all participants to refrain from any sexual activity during the retreat in order to maintain the integrity of the experience and ensure that everyone feels comfortable, secure, and focused on their individual and collective journeys.
