Queer Men Connect: The Power Of Your Words

Hello dear Queers 💛
We’re happy to invite you to our fourth Queer Men Connect event: The Power of Your Words!
Do you sometimes feel like people are careless with their words?
Have you ever felt unfairly judged by someone else?
And what about you? Do you judge yourself, make assumptions, or sometimes gossip?
In this session, we’ll explore how our words affect others and ourselves. Are your thoughts and words creating a little “heaven on Earth” or are they slowly poisoning the well?
The programme:
🧘 Grounding Yoga Flow
❤️ Sharing Heart Circle
💬 Interactive exploration of the Toltec teachings, inspired by The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
WHEN: Sunday, 18 October at 18:45
WHERE: Zen Den Yoga, Vinohrady, Prague 2
STANDARD TICKET: 490 CZK / person
🌈 Registration: https://forms.gle/x1FDzn2i5TV2UFNh9
Come join us for an evening of movement, reflection and honest conversation. We’d love to see you there!
How did we arrive here? The idea was born from a simple conversation between two strangers. Two Czech guys, Martin & Pavel, who tried to find a similar space in the Czech Republic after returning from overseas.
After experiencing gay retreats focused on yoga, meditation, tantric practice, Reiki, sweat lodges, and embodiment work in Spain, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand, it was time for the Czech Republic to shine.
About your hosts:
Martin is a Yoga Alliance-Certified Yoga Teacher with 200-hour training received in Belgium. He is passionate about yoga, mindfulness, and his vision is to create a healthy gay community and help reverse the ‘gay men loneliness’ epidemic. Martin pioneers DEI initiatives as Partnership Manager in his corporate role.
“The inspiration came from communities I experienced during a retreat in Spain and while living in Belgium, where I saw how powerful it can be to have spaces centred around openness, authenticity, connection, and well-being. I also know similar communities exist in cities like Berlin, and I would love to help create something like that here in Prague.”
Pavel has been an avid meditator for years, with experience in mindfulness, tantric meditation, Reiki, and shamanic ceremonies from his life in New Zealand and Australia.
Living more consciously, connected with universal energy, while honouring the elements, the ancestors, and Pacha Mama, has been instrumental in Pavel’s growth. He continued his learning by completing Level 1 & Level 2 Reiki training earlier this year. The call to return home was answered, and now it’s time to open a space for queer men in the Czech Republic.
“I received my first ‘activation’ from a Meditation Master in Vietnam in 2007, but corporate life & chasing ‘status’ got in the way. I returned to regular practice in 2021, and slowly incorporated different practices into my daily life. I credit conscious living to healing my traumas and to the success of my ongoing sobriety.”
