HOW MANY MEN HAVE ACTUALLY LEARNED HOW TO BE INTIMATE WITH OTHER MEN?

​

Men are taught how to compete. How to perform. How to protect ourselves. How to size each other up. How to keep a certain distance. But very few of us were ever taught how to simply be with another man.

​

To be present without performing.

To experience closeness without needing it to become something else.

To give and receive touch with intention.

To communicate a boundary without shutting down.

To stay connected to ourselves while opening to someone else.

​

The Temple of Intimacy is a full-day experiential Tantra immersion exploring another way for men to meet.

​

Not through performance.

Through presence.

​

ONE DAY. THREE EXPERIENCES.

​

INNER WORK

We begin with you.

​

Through mantra, movement, breathwork, meditation and embodied practice, DaddyGuru guides you out of the thinking mind and more deeply into the body.

You’ll explore the foundations that make genuine intimacy possible: presence, consent, boundaries, intention and honoring the body as a temple.

​

CONNECTION + CONSCIOUS TOUCH

Then another man enters the experience.

​

Through guided partner practices, movement, conscious touch and Yab-Yab breathwork, we explore what happens when we allow ourselves to actually meet another person.

​

What happens when someone comes closer?

What happens when you receive?

What happens when you give?

Can you stay connected to yourself while opening to another man?

​

TEMPLE

The day culminates in Temple—a guided ritual centered around giving and receiving conscious, boundaried touch, including a multi-hand massage experience.

​

An opportunity to receive without performing. To give without taking. To experience the body without shame. And to discover what becomes possible when men meet one another with intention, respect and presence.

​

The day closes with compassionate sharing and integration.

​

THIS IS TANTRA.

And perhaps not the version you've imagined.

​

This is a sex-positive, embodied and consent-centered experience.

​

There will be breath. Movement. Eye contact. Proximity. Partner practices. Conscious touch.

For much of the day, participants may choose to wear a sarong, yoga shorts or underwear. During some experiences, clothing will be optional.

​

Nudity is never required.

Neither is touch.

​

Every practice is invitational. You remain responsible for your body, your boundaries and your choices throughout the entire experience.​ An authentic yes matters. So does an authentic no.

​

This is not a sex party and sexual activity is not the purpose of the workshop.​ It is an opportunity to explore intimacy without performance.

​

THIS DAY IS FOR MEN.

​

Gay men. Straight men. Bisexual men. Queer men.

Men experienced with Tantra.

Men who have never experienced anything like this before.

​

You do not need to come with a partner.

You do not need a particular body.

You do not need to know what you're doing.

​

You simply need to be willing to arrive.

Curious.

Present.

And willing to meet yourself—and other men—a little differently.

MEET DADDYGURU

John Kristopher Thomsen

Tantric Yogi & Teacher · Intimacy Healer · Spiritual Guide

​

Known to his students and clients as DaddyGuru, John Kristopher Thomsen works at the intersection of Tantra, somatic awareness, inner-child work, intimacy and erotic maturity.

​

Based at Casa Kama, his spiritual finca and healing sanctuary in Western Costa Rica, John's work grew from his own journey through gay male life, relationships, sexuality and a transformative awakening at a Tantra retreat in Spain.

​

He is the author of You Are the Love of Your Life.

​

At the center of his teaching is a beautifully simple invitation:

GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD.

STAY IN YOUR HEART.

​

WHAT MIGHT BECOME POSSIBLE IF YOU STOPPED PERFORMING?

​

For one day, step outside the ordinary ways men have learned to relate to one another. Come back into your body. Meet your boundaries. Open your heart. Experience connection without needing to define where it leads. And discover another way of being with men.​
