Unleash: BODYWERK
With Luke Anthony
January 20 - 26, 2026
High-Level Program Overview
Join us on a journey of touch, breath, and movement in a judgement-free, clothing-optional environment where you can experience your body as a source of pleasure, wisdom, and connection. Bodywerk is a 7-day immersive retreat for GBTQ+ men who want to master the art of giving-and receiving-deeply satisfying full-body massage in a safe, consent-based space.
Guided by skilled facilitators, you’ll explore the language of touch through therapeutic and sensual massage techniques, yoga and partner-assisted stretching, and breath-led presence. Optional erotic self-touch and pleasure practices are there for those who wish to explore, but at its heart, Bodywerk is a week devoted to skill-building, body celebration, and the joy of human connection-all in a space where desire and curiosity are met with respect, warmth, and zero shame.

What To Expect
The Experience: The air is thick with the scent of rain-soaked earth. Warm sunlight spills across bare skin as the jungle hums around us. I sink into my breath, eyes closed, as a partner’s hands begin their slow, attentive work-kneading, tracing, listening. I feel tension melt, replaced by a delicious, humming awareness. Later, my own hands explore new techniques, finding the right pressure, the right rhythm, watching another body sigh into surrender. Time here is measured in touch, in breath, in the way connection deepens without a single word. By evening, we gather in the open air-stretching, moving, laughing-bodies unguarded, spirits light. This is remembering the body as home.

Between sessions, there’s time to rest, swim, or join nature immersions like naked walks and waterfall dips. Evenings bring group connection spaces and optional guided self-touch explorations, all held in a consent-based, clothing-optional environment that’s as playful as it is safe.
