About this Event

Day Retreat for Gay & Open-Minded Men: Movement, Meditation and Mindfullness

Welcome to a day of connection, self-discovery, and relaxation designed exclusively for gay and open-minded men. After nine years of being offered in the Merrimack Valley, we have moved to Somerville! Join us for a unique experience filled with workshops, discussions, and activities in a safe and supportive environment. This retreat is a perfect opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, share stories, and create meaningful connections. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in a day of introspection and community. Come as you are and leave relaxed and recharged.

Although every men's day retreat has been different based on who shows up, with a new beginning at MOTA, you can expect refreshed content.

Please arrive at 12:45 p.m. as we will begin immediatley at 1 p.m. Unlike previous events, we will not have a lunch break. Tentative Schedule : Welcome/Ice Breakers, 75 min Asana "Yoga" Practice , Discussion Session, Partner & Chakra Balancing Exercises, Gentler Restorative Yoga ending with Guided Yoga Nidra Session.

Please note: this is not a Nude Day Retreat. Shirtless practice is welcomed.

Somerville has Free Street Parking on Sundays.

This location is located right above Bloc Cafe if you want to arrive early and have lunch. I recommend finishing lunch by 12:30 p.m. to ensure time to digest before moving your body. It is also recommened that your pre-order any food as the prepartion time prohibited people from ordering last time.

While it always recommended to bring your own personal yoga props. This location does have all we need, if you do not have or forget your own. Bringing Water is highly recommended.

Your Instructor: Chuck Raffoni "Yoga with Chuck" has been teaching for over a decade. He has been featured on NBC's TODAY SHOW for teaching yoga to men, he was a main stage presenter for Yoga Reaches Out teaching to over 1000 participants at Gillette Stadium, he is Wicked Local Readers Poll favorite , his destination Men's Weekend Retreat has received national press, Pride Connections podcast noted him " for making the world a better place for the LGBTQ community " and Merrimack Valley Magazine called his class "Addictive". He also served as a director for Broga® Yoga for Men for 5 years.
