The call
Welcome to Call of the Wild // Cornwall!
I’ve been running retreats for Gay Bi Trans Queer Men around Europe for the past 10 years. We’ve had retreats for GBTQ men in Sweden, Portugal, France, Italy - and now it’s time for my first ever UK retreat for Gay Bi Trans Queer Men.
I love this part of my work. Bringing together GBTQ+ men for unique retreat adventures in my greatest passion. We’ve been to some incredible places, and I am so excited to welcome you to Trenarren House on the South Cornish Coast for a week of yoga, sauna, coastal hikes, sea swimming, cabaret and much more.
This retreat is perfect if you are a gay bi trans or queer man looking for a sacred pause from daily life, time for deep rest and relaxation, to connect with yourself and the magnificent surrounding nature, in the company of friendly GBTQ+ men from around the world.
Trenarren House is everything I look for in a retreat location! Isolated, remote, surrounding by stunning gardens and landscape, wild swimming, friendly hosts, cosy accommodation, incredible food, and in such an ancient and magical part of England - Cornwall!
My retreats are adventurous, you are invited to challenge yourself, step outside your comfort zone, to grow, to heal, to transform.
These GBTQ+ retreats are about coming together with intent, supporting each other, getting to know each other, and making the most of our time together.
Play, laughter, joy, and humour are a big part of the experience!
Join us for a wonderful GBTQ retreat adventure in the UK this May
What to expect:
Yoga ~ Ceremony SAUNA ~ Music Movement ~ Nature touch ~ CABARET sea swimming meditation breathwork
Yoga is the foundation of our time together on retreat. A deep active morning practice and a more restful and restorative evening practice.
Music, singing, chanting, breathwork, dance, movement, performance! Practices that bring joy and celebration to our lives, that make us feel alive and connected. That inspire us with gratitude for life and awaken our sense of awe and wonder for the world.
Touch! Touch is deeply healing, pleasurable, relaxing, and sacred. Simple, gentle exercises to practice giving and receiving touch. This can be done clothed or naked.
Playfulness! Play is healing and play is liberation. Play connects us to joy and to our inner child. Play can be funny, intimate, sexy, spontaneous. Play inspires us to be ourselves, in the moment, and to feel alive.
Nature! Swim in the sea or take a walk along the ancient trails of the Cornish Coastline.
Breathwork! A deeply healing, and energising practice to move energy and release blockages and tension in the body.
Sauna! The Trenarren House sauna is so beautiful. Perfect for long intense sauna rituals, with a wonderful bathtub for a cold plunge in the garden.

THis RETREAt is perhaps not FOR YOU IF:
You're looking for a nice yoga holiday and expect everything to be done for you.
You’re looking to just have a relaxing week on your own and not take part in the group activities. It’s important for the group dynamics that participants come to participate.
You don’t do well with last minute changes of schedule. Due to events outside of our control (the weather for example) or simply the needs of the group, I may adapt the schedule spontaneously.
Couples are very welcome. We get many lovely couples joining us on retreat.
It’s important that both of you want to be part of the retreat and participate in the group - not just one coming along to support the other. This way both of can have your own individual experience but also share the experience as a couple - which can be a very beautiful and meaningful time together.
