Find Your Way ‘Home’ in Costa Rica!

Join them on October 12-19, 2024, February 22-March 1, 2025, or other 2025 dates, for their all-inclusive Cultivating Pride & Authenticity week, where gay and queer men will gather for a week of self-exploration and personal growth aided by the plant medicine ayahuasca. The transformative week will take place at Reunion’s beachfront eco-luxe resort and has been curated by a team of gay and queer facilitators and psychotherapists, exploring themes such as community, self-love, and uncovering clarity and purpose. Reunion is a not-for-profit organization that has curated a safe space for those looking to connect with their authentic self, whoever that may be. So, come to Costa Rica and ignite your best, most fulfilled life.

Gay Travel Guide to Athens

Athens is the dynamic capital of Greece and the birthplace of democracy itself. To walk its streets is to immerse yourself in ancient history and follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest minds the world has ever known, from Socrates to Aristotle.
