This would be my first time visg a retreat center, let alone one for gay men on the oppose si of the untry. I was credibly nervo to spend four days ral New York wh 35 fellow gay men, wh limed cellphone signal, and no Starbucks.

Candidly, I expected the nference and retreat center to be fueled by gay stereotyp — cliqu, drama, gossip, and surface-level nversatns. My Experience At A Gay Retreat Center.

Add to this 35 gay men jog forc for a global ach’s nference, and you have an unstoppable batn. From the openg rual of “claimg our space at the firi, ” to a live performance by gay untry mic sger Brian Falduto and his band, I nstantly felt a sense of belongg and eedom at Easton Mounta. I veloped meangful relatnships wh gay men who unndnally loved and accepted me.

The center’s executive director, Harry Faddis, proclaimed that there is a gay agenda, and the gay agenda is “to change the world. The retreat also showed me how much I craved muny, and not jt any muny, but one posed of gay men wh siar backgrounds and lived experienc. Up until this retreat, I had never realized the lack of gay men my life, and upon arrivg back Santa Barbara, I found myself longg for more muny.

This was my first vis to a gay men’s retreat center, but fely will not be my last. I already have next year’s Internatnal Gay Coach Conference at Easton Mounta on my lendar. He is an official member of the vatn-only Forb Coach Council, a member of the Gay Coach Alliance, and a Certified Health Edutn Specialist (CHES).

Ntled amidst the rollg hills and farmland of upstate New York, Easton Mounta has been an oasis of acceptance, peace, and muny for gay men for the past . Elsewhere the Lodge is a large munal dg room; a "sun room, " also ed for workshops and meetgs, as well as seatg at mealtim; a hot tub; a massage room, where rint therapist Tim Cooley pli his tra; and a gift shop, where small sundri are sold along wh CDs by, among others, openly gay sger-songwrer Tom Goss. There's a sense of relief at beg such placid surroundgs, wh other gay men who also jt want a ltle peace and fellowship.

Given such placid surrounds, 's hardly surprisg that Easton Mounta emphasiz "gay spirualy.

GAY FREEDOM CAMP

" But 's not a place where gay physily is ignored--far om ; workshops at the retreat center clu Body Electric offergs, workshops such as Authentic Eros, and retreats for sgl and upl alike. For young gay men, Easton Mounta provis a safe space to explore and disver--whout prsure, judgment, or expectatn.

" One workshop the young man entered as a full participant was Gay Spir Camp, which Schwanebeck lled "a samplg of every program they have, mhed together one week" and lled "the happit time together. " Add Schwanebeck, "There's a day of Body Electric durg Gay Spir Camp.
