Community
Whether you are coming alone, with a partner, or with a group of friends, our planned group experiences are designed to create community through authenticity and a shared sense of journey.
This is a space where no one is invisible or outside the clique. Everyone is welcomed, everyone is seen, and everyone belongs.
We’ll begin with onboarding and personal introductions upon arrival, helping everyone settle in and feel connected from the start. Then each day, we’ll hold a brief group check-in to share experiences and reflections. We’ll also host a conversation with gay men from Rio about what it’s like to navigate gay life in Brazil, offering cultural perspective and cross-cultural connection.
We will lead a guided group sensual massage in pairs, designed to foster connection to both self and partner within a supportive community context, strengthening group familiarity and bonding. By setting aside the goal of sexual release, the process offers permission for conscious, consensual touch, helping increase awareness of your body’s capacity for sensual and sexual pleasure while emphasizing presence, trust, and mutual respect
One of our evenings will be dedicated to a different kind of trip—a journey into our inner lives to understand our past, present and future. David Matheson will lead an exploration of the hero's journey intended to be both fun and deeply enlightening.
The Hero’s Journey, developed by mythologist Joseph Campbell, is a universal story framework that outlines the path of personal transformation found in all great classic tales—from Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter and countless other timeless movies and stories.
