Remembering Wholeness: A GBTQIA+ Wellness Retreat

Embark on a Transformative Journey in the Diamante Valley!

Welcome to “Remembering Wholeness,” a unique 7-day retreat crafted for the queer community. Nestled in the majestic landscapes of Costa Rica’s Diamante Valley, this experience is designed to reconnect you with your intrinsic wholeness through a blend of sacred plant work, immersive encounters with nature, and holistic wellness practices.

This retreat is open to all GBTQIA+ men (cis and trans) of all ages, racial backgrounds, body shapes and sizes – and all levels of practice and experience with yoga, meditation, and sacred plant ceremonies.

The practices, experiences, and ceremonies will weave three key themes throughout the retreat:

1. You are already whole (no need to seek validation or approval through love, success, money, or adventure)
2. We are inextricably tied to nature and ultimately connected to all things
3. We thrive in community

We will explore these themes, and will invite exploration of how these concepts ring true in our lives, and where these ideas are blocked. As a part of this exploration, we will explore our relationship with sex and sensuality, and how these manifest in healthy and unhealthy ways in our lives. (Please note: while touch, sensuality, and topics of sexuality will be discussed, sexual activity will not be permitted in order to create the safest container possible for deep work and exploration.)

Profound Sacred Plant Ceremonies

Inclusive Sanctuary for All. “Remembering Wholeness” is a celebration of diversity, welcoming all GBTQIA+ men (cis and trans) from varied backgrounds. Here, every individual is encouraged to explore and express their authentic selves in a space of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect.

All sacred plant ceremony experiences are optional. This retreat is open to all levels of practice and experience with sacred plants. For the health and safety of all participants, we will have each participant complete a health screening questionnaire and conduct a conversation with the facilitator before being accepted to the retreat.

Reconnect. Rediscover. Reclaim the life you were always meant to live.
