In every retreat we've facilitated, we've witnessed the magic of men creating for one another a place of complete acceptance and safety--where all our interactions are a way of saying, "You are safe. You are seen. You are sacred." In offering that gift and receiving it back, we heal our souls, and we repair the world.
The freedom we discover allows us to be spontaneous, to take risks, to make surprising discoveries, both within ourselves and with others. We let down our defenses. Our innate capacities for kindness and empathy blossom. We experience the joys of deep gratitude. We delight in the pleasure and fulfilment we can bring someone else.
Sometimes we find all this in simple permission to walk naked through the natural world. Sometimes we find it in knowing others will celebrate the fullness of our erotic longings. Always, we find it in confidence that others will respect our personal boundaries and the choices we make about how to engage and when to witndraw into our own space.
