About this Retreat
Your Guides
Guillaume is the founder and facilitator of Men’s Hearts, a sacred space where gay, bi, and queer men can explore Tantra as a path to healing, pleasure, and connection.
His journey began as a clinical psychologist in France, working with adolescents in public psychiatry. In 2010, a powerful spiritual awakening led him to explore his intuitive gifts, offering personal growth workshops and spiritual development sessions as a clairvoyant therapist across France and Belgium.
In 2015, Guillaume encountered Tantra. It was a profound shift that transformed his relationship with intimacy, pleasure, and personal power. He realised that sexuality could be conscious, sacred, and deeply nourishing. Since then, he has trained extensively, including with Tantra pioneers Margot Anand and Jacques Lucas, and contributed to the ethical commission of Tantranima, an organisation committed to upholding integrity and safety in Tantra spaces.
He is particularly interested in the relational aspect of Tantra, and how it invites us to meet one another in truth, presence, and care. His approach blends classical Tantra, neo-Tantra, and French neo-Tantra, infused with a French therapeutic sensitivity.
Guillaume brings a rare blend of depth, humour, structure, and care, inviting men from all over the world to reconnect with their bodies, open their hearts, and experience joy, healing, and authentic connection. Each retreat is a carefully held space where sexual energy becomes a source of self-love, transformation, and deep brotherhood.

Schedule
From Guarded to Open: A Journey into Trust and Presence
Each day balances guided Tantric practice with spacious time for rest, reflection, and integration. You’ll explore movement, breath, sacred touch, emotional connection, and group ritual in ways that deepen both trust in yourself and connection with others.
A typical day includes:
• Morning meditation or breathwork to centre and awaken
• Free dance and embodied movement to drop into the body
• Partnered intimacy and connection practices
• Emotional sharing and witnessing circles
• Instruction and exploration of the “Ya Byum” Sacred Union Ritual
• Afternoons for rest, journaling, or enjoying the grounds
• Evening ceremonies or guided connection practices
All practices are optional. Consent, presence, and emotional safety are central to everything we do. Every session is an invitation, never an obligation - offering space for authentic exploration at your own pace.
