DaddyGuru's Summer PRIDE GayTantra + Sacred MushLove Integration

Men's Retreats

Jun 28 - Jul 3, 2026

A gay men’s Tantra retreat in Costa Rica for intimacy, healing, and embodied self-connection.

About This Retreat

What to Expect

Our special retreat is comprised of four stages, (two of which are needed before arrival to Casa Kama):

1. Vetting of registered students to ensure that this program is appropriate for them.  This is done through a questionnaire and follow-up interviews by DaddyGuru.

2. If the program is deemed to be appropriate for the student, adoption of Dr. Raymond's preparation and detox program will be required three weeks before the beginning of the retreat to ensure optimal results.

3. First four days: Participation in DaddyGuru's 4-Day Gay Tantra Program, where the focus is opening and expanding your Shaki (creative energy), and,

4. Last two days: Participation in our MushLove Awakening ceremony, where the focus is opening and expanding your Shiva (awareness).

DaddyGuru Tantra

"Get out of your head. Stay in your heart" with this deep dive into tantra philosophy, connection, flow, surrender and intimacy practices that will stimulate the kundalini, open your heart, resonate your inner truth, and help you embrace that perfectly imperfect, infinite you.

This clothing optional, 6-day retreat is strictly for cis men who connect sexually with cis men and is an introductory dive (or fun refresher) into the world of tantra. Practices and philosophies behind this powerful way of life will focus on: self-acceptance, surrender, self-love, disconnecting from the ego, recognizing your inner truth, awakening your innate feminine (Shakti), and moving beyond the blockages and densities that are holding you back in life.

MushLove Awakening

During this sacred medicine program and ceremony you will have a face-to-face encounter with your current version of self and love in an objective way, without guilt or judgment, and without pressure or demands; knowing and integrating all your light and shadow to then reach a state of Being that you could not measure today.

Fit & Clarity

Best Suited For

Who Will Thrive Here

  • Gay, bi, pansexual, or queer men who feel called to explore Tantra in a men-loving-men space
  • Men wanting deeper self-acceptance, emotional healing, and embodied confidence
  • Participants open to intimacy practices, group connection, and clothing-optional retreat culture
  • Men interested in combining Tantra with sacred mushroom ceremony and integration work

Not Ideal For

Who May Not Resonate

  • Women, mixed-gender couples, or people looking for a general Tantra retreat
  • Anyone uncomfortable with nudity, conscious touch, or emotionally vulnerable group work
  • Participants who do not want sacred mushroom medicine included in the retreat experience
  • People seeking a light yoga holiday rather than deep intimacy and shadow work

What Stands Out

What Makes It Distinct

  • A retreat specifically created for men who love men, held in a queer-centered sanctuary
  • Combines Tantra, breathwork, movement, inner child work, intimacy practices, and sacred mushroom ceremony
  • Hosted at Casa Kāma, a nature-based retreat finca near Quepos and Manuel Antonio
  • Small group size, with accommodation, meals, and local pickup included
  • Strong focus on self-love, emotional healing, embodiment, and authentic connection
