Vacation 2020 - FRIENDSHIP & CONNECTION
“The next Buddha may take the form of a community” – Thich Nhat Hanh
A conscious movement retreat for gay men with Alex Svoboda and Bodhi. Sundance - Antalya Region, Turkey.
Vacation means to vacate one-self and has traditionally been seen as a spiritual journey or retreat; to create space away from our everyday affairs – to stand back, reflect and find a deeper connection with the physical, emotional and spiritual domain within our experience.
Dance meditation creates movement deep inside our creative bodies to ignite change from our core – the body. Crossing this bridge engages the heart, opening us up step by step, so we can learn to trust our natural instincts.
Come to our eighth annual Vacation to explore and celebrate together:
- a deep connection with yourself
- a welcoming community that can see and support you as you are
- a capacity to embrace playfulness
A few days in a company of good friends in beautiful nature on the beach. Dance, movement, creative activities, enquiry and sharing.
Where: Sundance is one of our favourite venues. It has two beaches and is hidden from mass tourism. The owners welcomed gay visitors for decades and are excited to have us back. Antalya has a typical Mediterranean weather, so you may expect lots of sun and not much rain in September. In that time of the year the daytime average is 30 degrees, nighttime it is about 19.
Our hosts are in the middle of nature. They take care of the surroundings as this place is home for most of them. We are kindly requested to respect the environment as if they were our home.
Don’t look any further. Come as you are.
