Michael Peck
An immersion into Classical and Neo-Tantra for gay, bi, trans and queer men in Portugal with Michael Peck | 3–8 June 2027
THE INVITATION
Come home to your body. Connect to your spirit. Awaken bliss.
Many of us learned to protect ourselves long before we learned to feel at home in our bodies. This Tantra retreat for gay men is a chance to slow down, soften, and practise a different way of being with yourself and with other men.
Over six days and five nights at the beautiful Lua Nua, we’ll combine practices from both Classical and Neo-Tantra, breathwork, yoga, somatic therapy (TRE®) in a space designed around consent, choice and nervous system safety. There’s nothing to perform and nothing to prove - just time to connect with yourself and others.
What you can expect
-
Practices that settle your body first, so connection can follow
-
Consent-led touch and connection work (always optional)
-
A group of GBTQ+ men who are here to be real with each other
-
Plenty of rest, sun, good food and time in nature
Who it’s for
Men who are experienced in or curious about Tantra, tired of living in their heads, or longing for intimacy and connection that feels both authentic and alive. No prior experience needed, just an open mind.
Who it's not for
This is not a sex party. Tantra here means presence, breath, consent and connection. Practices are clothing optional and opt-in, and there is no sexual union between participants. If you’re looking for an erotic or play-focused retreat, this isn’t it, and we’d rather you know that up front.
"Michael's explanations of the activities were clear, to the point and well guided."
"As a first timer to Tantra, Michael created a space that felt very safe, welcoming and easy to hold and explore my boundaries."
