Retreats are a combination of learning and practicing Touch and Massage in a group residential setting – where we live, eat learn and play together. Retreats are divided up between Skills and Practice modules. Adam weaves exercises designed to expand our awareness and embody our sensations into the learning sessions. Sometimes we have to overcome internal obstacles that hinder our personal expression. Paired exercises as well as group-sharing creates a container of safety and possibility to explore our feelings, our sensations and our capacity for connection. Freedom to be and to express ourselves sensually, even erotically is nourishing to our bodies and our souls. Healthy Eros is key to men’s Vitality.
Other Activities May Include:
Walks, Taoist and Tantric Rituals, Philosophical/thematic discussions of Taoism and Tantra. Our Winter Mexico Retreat offer us naked beach-time – relaxing in the warmth of Zipolite and exploring the area in community. Our intention is to provide the framework for living an embodied life, where we are acknowledged for who we are and how we show up.

Mexico Retreats
Learn, Practice and Play in Community
Adam and Heart-Centered Touch has brought students to Zipolite, Mexico for seven years for a touch and tantric retreat. Men return year after year to enjoy the warm climate and the open-atmosphere with Mexico’s only legal nude beach. Our hotel supports our learning and practice and provides a supportive home-base for our learning. A cook at Hotel La Loma Linda is dedicated to providing high-quality, locally-sourced meals for our group.
The retreat days are divided up into:
- Mornings: QiGong (Taoist yoga) class, warm breakfast, Massage and Touch skills instruction and practice. Discussions of concepts of Taoism and Tantra.
- Afternoons: Touch practice-time, review of skills and communication exercises for Touch sessions.
- Evenings are about dinners in town, night beach walks, music and dance.

Men who need physical attention. (all of us!) We are less isolated when touch and talk are offered in an open-hearted and honest space. Through Adam’s acknowledgement, recognition and empathy, I’ve gained more acceptance of myself.
