INSTINTO PRIMITIVO: Taller de Auto-Exploración Consciente

08/02/2024 - 08/04/2024
AS SEEN ON

In-Depth Retreat Overview

[ This retreat is intended for Spanish-speaking GBTQIA+ men (cis and trans) of all ages (18+), racial backgrounds, and body types. ] We always offer a 50% discount for Ticos with Costa Rican residency. Use the code " PURAVIDATICOS " on the registration page! This retreat will be led in Spanish with no translation provided in English. This weekend workshop will be an opportunity for Spanish-speaking gay men to connect with the power of nature present every day and every morning in the Jungle Gayborhood and the sacred power of its sexual energy that lives within each one of us. A journey through our bodies to once again recognize the beauty of our outward appearance, taking one step at a time closer to accepting our body. The perception of beauty has been damaged by stereotypes from a society that lacks empathy, tolerance and love, so much so that we have forgotten how to love ourselves and of course how to love each other. Juntos co-crearemos una espacio seguro para aquellos que quieran ir un poco más profundo en este sendero y redescubrir de realmente mirar la belleza interior, sentir la energía que lo crea todo y crear una comunidad de hombres que se aceptan, aman y se desean a sí mismos de tal forma que aceptan, aman y desean a los otros desde una conexión energética más auténtica. El orgasmo visto como un regalo sagrado y como una forma de expandir nuestra energía nos permitirá mover el placer de nuestro pene hacia el resto de nuestro cuerpo bendecido por la naturaleza como una confirmación de que el sexo fue otorgado a la humanidad por la Divinidad Universal. Regalo que hemos “desperdiciado” por años al seguir prácticas superficiales, que nos hacen ciegos al verdadero poder que tenemos como seres humanos al vivir una sexualidad más consciente, donde primero nos conocemos a nosotros mismos para luego compartirnos con otros. Prácticas matutinas de movimiento, secuencias de posturas de yoga, ejercicios de respiración, sesiones somáticas, círculos de palabra para compartir nuestras experiencias, dinámicas individuales y grupales nacidas del tantra y la filosofía de la Sexualidad Sagrada además de espacios para crear comunidad mientras disfrutamos de la selva, la catarata y los sonidos de la naturaleza son algunos de los elementos que nos ayudarán a dar inicio a esta experiencia hacia una mayor consciencia de amor propio conectado con nuestro instinto primitvo del placer.

Intenciones:

Ser un espacio seguro para hombres gay hispanohablantes quienes buscan una manera más auténtica de vivir su homosexualidad por medio del reconocimiento de su propia energía sexual.
  1. Ofrecer una oportunidad para profundizar en nuestra conciencia y redescubrir el poder sagrado de la creación, el amor y el placer dentro de nuestra energía sexual.
  2. Mostrar una nueva forma de comunidad entre hombres gay hispanohablantes con mayor empatía, espacio para la vulnerabilidad, aceptación personal y consentimiento dentro y fuera de nuestras relaciones sexuales.
  3. Facilitar herramientas y potenciar habilidades personales para reconocer y mover la energía sexual a través de nuestro cuerpo.

Desarrollamos este espacio pensando en vos para:

  • Abrazar la relación que tenemos con nosotros mismos y como consecuencia empezar a hacer cambios que nos acerquen cada vez más a una versión más auténtica de nosotros.
  • Encontrar en el proceso la manera de verte con amor tanto física como emocional y mentalmente, surgiendo entonces lo que muchos llaman amor propio.
  • Descubrir que no sos el único que afronta tribulaciones emocionales o mentales por diversas influencias de la sociedad logrando entonces sentirte acompañado por otros hombres homosexuales.
  • Soltar las expectativas porque renunciamos a la comparación del avance nuestro con el de los demás y observamos nuestro camino con amor y vemos a los otros como inspiración.
  • Feeling sexual energy and its power as a gift from divinity allows us to share ourselves sexually in a more conscious way, this means working together between the mind, our body and our spirit. Our being of Light.

COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS : Hijo del Sol and The Jungle Gayborhood aim to inspire personal exploration, radical expression of self, and a sense of connection: internally, with community, and with nature. We actively cultivate practices that support these goals by consciously exploring physical practices, authentic relationships, somatic movement therapy, shamanism, and sacred sexuality. To create a predictable and safe environment for this type of healing, growth, reflection, and expansion, we ask all who come to our home to align themselves with these community agreements.     Notice about dogs : We have two very loving and friendly dogs, Bodhi and Luna, who live here at The Gayborhood. Other than the occasional bark when cars drive by, they are calm and very sweet. If you have any concerns about the presence of dogs, please contact us to discuss.
