Vacation 2025 – Being You
Lalita Retreat Centre, Spain
14 – 20 September 2025
A freedomDANCE retreat for gay men with Bodie Hunt and Alex Svoboda
“Wherever you go – you are always there…” Each of us is unique, with special gifts to share. Yet, Being You is a lifelong journey of discovery, growth, and acceptance. Vacation 2025 is a space to explore that journey, to celebrate who you are, and to be seen in your wholeness—supported by a community of dancing gay brothers. Together, we create an experience that nourishes us for weeks and months beyond the retreat, enriched by the friendships and connections we form.
Through the simple yet transformative practice of freedomDANCE, we reconnect with our bodies, silence the inner critic, and open our hearts. In this special space, vulnerability—our greatest strength—is both welcomed and celebrated.
WHERE
This year, we’ll gather at the Lalita Retreat Centre in remote Spain, surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty. It’s a place to disconnect from the everyday and connect more deeply with yourself and others. For a closer look, visit lalita.net.
