Imagine a time where being born into a family, a tribe, a world that welcomed you as queer, gay, bi, trans from birth. The tribe gathered for a ritual to celebrate your arrival to the earth in your queer body. The community called upon the wisdom of their bodies, the earth, the ancestors and Great Spirit to name you. Your name was to capture the essence of your unique role, mission and gift to the tribe and to the world. What a love message that would be.
In this retreat we too will gather to offer love messages as adult queer men to our sacred bodies, the earth, the ancestors and the Great Spirit of Love. We will use rituals and processes to open and awaken our bodies to remember who we are through intentional touch, body painting, ecstatic massage, breath work, movement, Yoga, chant and the burning of "the friend".
Love messages will invite you to experience the interconnectedness of your body, the earth, the bodies of your brothers in community, the earth, your queer ancestral supports and the Spirit within all things.
Men have described this work as “juicy”, “playful”, “intentional”, “powerful”, “grounding” and “transformative”.
Join us for a weekend of Love Messages that can make a difference in your life and in the world.
