What makes a young queer person embark on an intense journey with tantra and bodywork? What happens when touch becomes language? Jojo is 40 years old, a doctor, and found his way to gay bodywork through yoga and massage. What drives him is a longing for a different kind of intimacy: tender, conscious, mindful. In this interview, he talks about how the Summer Evolution Festival and the Winter Eros Retreat changed him.

Anyone who has enjoyed workshops or training knows the feeling—everyday life can catch up with you far too quickly. This brings back that occasional sense that many daily tasks are somewhat pointless, and a feeling of loneliness can start to creep back in. Experience shows us that when we stay connected with others, we find it much easier to stay in tune with the world than when we retreat into our shells.

Dear Community, At GayLoveSpirit, we create safe spaces for men who love men – spaces where connection, growth and healing are possible. Our workshops and evening groups in various European cities thrive on the energy of everyone involved – and that's exactly why we might need you! Current status: Festivals are covered for 2025 – but we need you for evening groups and workshops! We already have enough volunteers for our festivals this year – but we are still looking for committed people to support us with our weekend workshops and regular evening groups.

The other day I had some amazing all heart tantric sex, doing all the things I like, pleasuring another man. When it was all done, I had this feeling of running away. Like when I was single and young (well not only….). Running from the scene, feeling awkward. This time it was more conscious – I wanted to hold my baby.
