Many of us grew up learning that our bodies were something to manage, suppress, or be ashamed of.
The Art of Touch is an immersive 2-day workshop designed to help gay Asian men reconnect with physical sensation, presence, and desire — in a safe, consensual, and thoughtfully facilitated space.
This is not a party. It is not a hookup event. It is a structured, intentional experience for men who want to explore what it means to be fully present in their bodies — possibly for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe?
Ground rules are stated upfront at the start of the retreat and must be followed. The exercises are guided by retreat leaders. Privacy is of utmost importance and must be observed. Photography and phones are not allowed during sessions.
So… is nudity required?
While nudity is never required at our retreats (clothing-optional means optional), this programme is designed around erotic touch. To immerse yourself in the full experience, skin to skin contact is recommended. If you are not comfortable being naked for the session, we can make arrangements to accommodate you doing the sessions in underwear.
What if I’m nervous?
Almost everyone arrives nervous — that’s completely normal and natural. But what you’ll find is people warm up and relax in no time at all
What if I get turned on?
You’re human. Getting aroused is perfectly natural, perfectly normal, and perfectly welcome, but it’s also perfectly welcome if you don’t.
Will people judge my body?
Our retreats and workshops are always non-judgmental, safe spaces. We always have different bodies, different ages, and different energies.

The retreat fee covers your accommadation for 3 nights in a private room in our private pool villa, all meals and drinks, workshop sessions and two-way airport transfers.
