Queer Men Connect: Find Your Community

Do you ever feel like being gay or queer today gets reduced too often to dating apps, parties, and shallow relationships? Do you leave gay clubs, bars, or saunas feeling unfulfilled, or even empty? Does your inner voice tell you there must be a deeper and more meaningful way to connect with other queer men?

Yes. And right now, such a space exists.

𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩: "𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮" is a gathering for men who want to build deeper connections and community through yoga, mindfulness, and genuine, open conversations.

A space without phones, alcohol, or substances, where you can be yourself, meet like-minded men, and gain tools that will help you find balance again in body, mind, and soul.

We invite you to an evening featuring: ✨ Yoga ✨ Open sharing circle ✨ Mindfulness ✨ Deep conversations

How did it all start?

The whole idea came from a simple conversation between two strangers. Two Czechs, Martin and Pavel, who after returning from abroad sought to find a similar space here in the Czech Republic.

Both experienced gay retreats focused on yoga, meditation, tantric practices, Reiki, sweat lodges, and body work and conscious living in Spain, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand. And so the time had come for the Czech Republic to shine too.

About your facilitators

Martin is a yoga instructor certified by Yoga Alliance with 200 hours of training completed in Belgium. Yoga and mindfulness are his passion, and his vision is to create a healthy queer community and help address the epidemic of loneliness among gay men. In his corporate work as a Partnership Manager, he also initiates and develops DEI projects.

"I was inspired by the communities I discovered during a retreat in Spain and while living in Belgium. I saw how powerful it can be to have a space built on openness, authenticity, connection, and care for one's own wellbeing. I also know that similar communities exist in cities like Berlin, and I'd love to help create something like this here in Prague too."

Pavel has been actively practicing meditation for years and has experience with mindfulness, tantric meditation, Reiki, and shamanic ceremonies, which he gained during his life in New Zealand and Australia.

A more conscious way of living, connection with universal energy, and respect for the elements, ancestors, and Pacha Mama played a crucial role in Pavel's personal development. He continued his education and earlier this year completed the first and second levels of Reiki training. He answered the call to return home, and now it's time to open a space for queer men here in the Czech Republic too.

"I experienced my first 'activations' in 2007 with a meditation master in Vietnam, but corporate life and the chase for 'status' gradually got in the way. I returned to regular practice in 2021 and gradually incorporated various practices into my daily life. I believe that a more conscious way of living helped me heal from trauma and is also one of the reasons I'm able to continue on my path of sobriety."
