The retreat is for any LGBTQIA+ individual seeking to deepen their yoga and wellness practice with nourishing and meaningful self soothing techniques. Beginner, intermediate and advanced yogis are all welcome.
Welcome to a truly unique yoga and wellness retreat brought to you by California based yogi Noah Juliano.
The intention for this course is to cultivate a community of individuals seeking truth and love amidst the heart of Costa Rica’s lush jungle. Envelop yourself in like-minded humans yearning for belonging, contentment and inner stillness amongst this ever changing and chaotic age of uncertainty.
In the lush jungles of Costa Rica, health and wellness will reconnect you with the highest Self. We will activate ancient care tactics, self soothing methods, yoga asana exploration, breathwork and introduction to meditation.
The Jungle Gayborhood is a clothing optional retreat center where all attendees are permitted, but not required, to be naked at any point of the week.
Some workshops will incorporate sensual touch. Consent is at the heart of everything we do. Participation in any or part of the workshops is optional. The simple joys of laying in a hammock or sitting under a waterfall are also available all week long.
This is your time to thrive on your terms in a serene sanctuary.
Maximize your growth through moments of expansion, relaxation and well being.
