We can’t help but return to Gayle’s Retreat again and again. It’s beautiful, tranquil and rejuvenating and every group just loves it!
It's nestled deep in the Sussex countryside, a haven of peace, calm and a much needed breathing space. Conveniently close to London/Brighton with excellent rail/bus links and plenty of parking should you wish to drive the 90 minutes from London to the Sea.
Andy Butterfield and Tom Cowan are your hosts. They have led many workshops and retreats over the years, regularly supporting events for Loving Men, Yoganu, Tantra for Gay Men and Radical Faeries. Their expertise includes: Vajrasati, Yin & Hatha Flow Yoga, Shiatsu, Tantra, Trauma Release, Meditation and Nature Connection Practices.
This event is for you if you want to explore:
- daily yoga and meditation
- deeper authentic connection within ourselves and with each other
- morning nature walks
- therapeutic touch workshop with Shiatsu massage
- free time to relax and unwind
- being in the company of friendly gay, bi & queer men
