Our Mission

Easton Mountain is a community, retreat center and sanctuary created by gay men as a gift to the world.

We commit to living lightly on the earth, promoting social justice, and celebrating together. We vow to spread beauty and encourage creativity. We value openness and a radical hospitality, which seeks to embrace all others as sisters and brothers. We respect the wisdom of the body, the interdependence of all life, and non-violence in the resolution of conflicts. We promote peace and freedom for all. We seek an ever-deepening connectedness to self, others, and all of creation.
— John Stasio, founder

  • Creativity, celebration, play and gaiety

  • Respect and honesty

Through workshops, programs and events we provide opportunities to celebrate, heal and transform.

We offer this land, rich in beauty and wisdom, as a home to a community that extends beyond the land.
