Queer Men Connect: Going Deeper

Do you ever feel like being gay or queer has seemingly been reduced to hook-up apps, partying and superficiality? Does spending time at gay clubs, bars and saunas leave you feeling unfulfilled or even empty? Does your inner voice tell you that there must be a more meaningful way to connect with your queer brothers?

Well, there is, now.

𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩: 𝙂𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙧 is an event for men seeking to connect and build community through yoga, mindfulness, and deep & honest conversations.

A phone-free, alcohol & substance-free space where you can be your authentic self, connect with like-minded men and learn tools for rebalancing your body, mind & spirit.

How did we arrive here? The idea was born from a simple conversation between two strangers. Two Czech guys, Martin & Pavel, who tried to find a similar space in the Czech Republic after returning from overseas.

After experiencing gay retreats focused on yoga, meditation, tantric practice, Reiki, sweat lodges, and embodiment work in Spain, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand, it was time for the Czech Republic to shine.

About your hosts:

Martin is a Yoga Alliance-Certified Yoga Teacher with 200-hour training received in Belgium. He is passionate about yoga, mindfulness, and his vision is to create a healthy gay community and help reverse the ‘gay men loneliness’ epidemic. Martin pioneers DEI initiatives as Partnership Manager in his corporate role.

“The inspiration came from communities I experienced during a retreat in Spain and while living in Belgium, where I saw how powerful it can be to have spaces centred around openness, authenticity, connection, and well-being. I also know similar communities exist in cities like Berlin, and I would love to help create something like that here in Prague.”

Pavel has been an avid meditator for years, with experience in mindfulness, tantric meditation, Reiki, and shamanic ceremonies from his life in New Zealand and Australia.

Living more consciously, connected with universal energy, while honouring the elements, the ancestors, and Pacha Mama, has been instrumental in Pavel’s growth. He continued his learning by completing Level 1 & Level 2 Reiki training earlier this year. The call to return home was answered, and now it’s time to open a space for queer men in the Czech Republic.

“I received my first ‘activation’ from a Meditation Master in Vietnam in 2007, but corporate life & chasing ‘status’ got in the way. I returned to regular practice in 2021, and slowly incorporated different practices into my daily life. I credit conscious living to healing my traumas and to the success of my ongoing sobriety.”
