Beyond the Small Talk: A Speed Dating ExperienceThis isn’t your typical speed dating.
Rather than rushing through the usual questions about what you do, where you’re from, or what you’re looking for, this workshop invites you to meet other singles in a more playful, creative, and embodied way.
We’ll begin with a series of short one-on-one encounters designed to help you move beyond small talk and discover each other through curiosity, presence, creativity, and the body. Some connections may happen through conversation, while others might come through movement, eye contact, playful prompts, shared creativity, or simply experiencing what it feels like to be present with another person.
The intention isn’t to decide whether someone is “a match” in five minutes. It’s to create opportunities for genuine connection, chemistry, surprise, and discovery.
Come ready to meet people differently, step a little outside the usual dating script, and see what happens when connection becomes something you experience, not just something you talk about.

Men’s Primal Yoga Power (Morning Practice)

The practice combines guided meditation and breathwork, gentle yoga flow and deep stretching, body-positive movement, nervous system grounding, sensual embodiment practices rooted in consent and mindfulness, and optional clothing-free participation in a respectful and affirming environment. Participants are invited to awaken energy naturally, increase body confidence, improve flexibility and circulation, build self-awareness and sensual presence, and feel more relaxed and emotionally open. The practice welcomes beginner to moderate yogis and spiritual seekers of all ages, body types, backgrounds, and experience levels.

What? No Hands? An innovative sensual touch experience
Think you have enjoyed sensual touch before? Well think again. Come see how this non- erotic workshop will show you new and fun ways to enhance intimacy with a partner by using everyday items without ever having to use your hands. Of course no one should ever want to exclude the hands during intimate moments. But in this workshop, hands will be excluded to draw attention to the myriad of possibilities for augmenting sensual touch.
The workshop will begin with an undressing ritual (nudity not required) followed by couplings wherein participants will be guided to use a variety of props for both giving and receiving intentional sensual touch. The couplings will be rotational. Everyone will have a chance to both give and receive with multiple participants.

Nature Walk
A nature walk guided by Rob Mack at Easton Mountain blends deep community connection, environmental stewardship, and mindfulness. A dedicated social worker, volunteer, and frequent community facilitator from Glens Falls, NY, Rob brings a warm, approachable presence, a casual smile, and a characteristic sense of humor to his trail groups.
Rather than focusing on rigorous physical exertion, a walk under his guidance at the Easton Mountain Retreat Center is an invitation to pause, slow down, and honor the sacred bond between people and the land.

Cultivating Connections, Friends, and Community
Many folks value the connections, friends, and community they experience at Easton, and express a wish to have more such dynamics in their lives at home. When being single comes with feeling lonely, that’s just no good. In this interactive workshop, we’ll talk about what friendships and community can mean to single people and we’ll explore what might be keeping us from having more opportunities for authentic connection. Then we’ll identify and practice a few basic connecting and relationship skills. Here’s a chance to invest good intentions and energy in your personal and social development. Along the way, you’ll gain some personal insight, meet new people, and get to know a few folks better than you did before.

The Growth and The Glory of our life’s path
This event is a panel discussion of brothers.
There are many ways of naming the markers of life’s journey, such as Youth, Adulthood, Middle Age, Senior Age or Old Age. Our guest panelists will share the story of their life’s journey, and they may identify their own Markers or view life on different terms, perhaps from philosophy, science, or religion. We can learn a lot from the experiences of each other and share our various perspectives.

Manifest My Man
Time to turn up your magnetism!
This is a playful, powerful workshop for calling love in, whether you're looking for your man, your next great relationship, or simply ready to become more available for love.
Through creative visioning, spiritual practice, and some very fun exercises, we'll get deliciously specific about the man you want.
We'll uncover some of the hidden resistance that may be keeping love at arm's length, turn up your inner magnet, and practice saying YES to being the kind of man you'd love to meet.
Come ready to dream big, play full out, and surprise yourself.
The Daddy Portal
Daddy. For gay and queer men, that one word can hold an entire universe.
Our biological fathers. The fathers we needed. The men we desired. The men whose approval we chased. The protection we longed for. The authority we resisted. God the Father. Daddy as lover. Daddy as archetype. And the Daddy waiting to awaken within us.
The Daddy Portal is an intimate, sensual, spiritual exploration of all of it.
Together we'll enter a safe and sacred container where tenderness, masculine energy, feminine energy, spirituality, sensuality, longing, touch, power, vulnerability, and love are welcome.
And we'll begin giving and receiving some of what we may have spent a lifetime looking for from Daddy.
Not by going backward.
By discovering that the portal has been inside us all along.

Mandala Creation
With the materials gathered from nature and/or fun items like beads, sequins, seeds, spices, etc., we will create a circular mandala as a group project. The base design will be marked with many symmetrical segments for group members to fill in with beautiful things to make a gorgeous piece of art.
