Details of this retreat

Celebrate. Release. Renew.

This New Year’s Eve, step into a sacred space where joy, reflection, and queer brotherhood meet. Over four luminous days in southern France, Men’s Hearts invites you to turn the passage of the year into a powerful initiation, that is festive, playful, and deeply transformative.

Together we’ll dance ecstatically, honour the year gone by, set intentions for 2026, and explore the magic of sacred intimacy. Through Tantric rituals, movement, and conscious touch, we’ll cultivate trust, joy, and erotic aliveness in a safe, heartful container of men.

During this retreat, you will:
💙 Celebrate with ritual, dance, and shared joy
🌿 Honour the challenges and gifts of 2025
🔥 Set powerful intentions through a Tantric ritual of sensual magic
🤝 Experience queer kinship and brotherhood
✨ Embrace wholeness, presence, and the fresh energy of the new year

This is more than a New Year’s Eve party, it’s a chance to transform the turning of the year into a sacred passage, opening 2026 under the sign of love, connection, and freedom.

Schedule

A Passage of Celebration and Renewal

Each day balances festive celebration with Tantric depth, offering both structure and space for integration.

A typical day includes:
• Morning meditation, breathwork, or movement
• Rituals to honour and release 2025
• Ecstatic dance, touch, and embodied connection practices
• Group sharing circles and emotional presence
• Tantric sensual magic ritual to set intentions for 2026
• Evening festive rituals and celebration

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.
