About the group
Remember the days when meeting other gay men meant heading to the local gay bar, sparking conversations, and connecting with people you might never have noticed on an app? It was messy, spontaneous, and real. We’re bringing that back—but with a twist.
We’re creating a space where gay men can meet meaningfully, reconnect with each other, and rediscover the joy of real connection. It’s about shedding the labels society has slapped on us and finding freedom in being ourselves—fully and unapologetically.
Let’s be honest: dating apps have left us feeling drained, disconnected, and craving something deeper. But we grow the most—personally and spiritually—through genuine connection, by listening to each other’s stories, sharing laughter and tears, and just being present.
This group is all about that kind of experience. Whether it’s weekly self-enquiry and embodied practice sessions, monthly community gatherings, or immersive destination retreats, you’ll find something here to help you reconnect with others and yourself in the most meaningful way.
