The Gay* Soul
Discover your strength and vulnerability
Are you a man who is (also) attracted to men, and do you want to deepen your connection with yourself and others in a pure, mindful, and free way? Then The Gay Soul Just the thing for you!
A workshop For men* who want to get to know themselves and others better in a safe and open environment.
- What gives you strength?
- When do you feel vulnerable, and how do you deal with it?

In a group of like-minded men, you’ll have the opportunity to gain new insights and share experiences.
Topics that may be covered:
✔ Connecting with yourself and others
✔ Needs and desires versus guilt and shame
✔ Intimacy, Sexuality, and Relationships
We use a combination of Gestalt therapy, systemic work, and body-oriented therapy, supplemented by meditation and tantra exercises.

✅ Express your feelings better, without bottling them up
✅ Insight into what life is like for a man who is attracted to men
✅ Connect more easily with other men
✅ Better understand and communicate your needs and boundaries
✅ Experiencing intimacy and sexuality from both your heart (emotions) and your pelvic region (desire)

You're not on your own. You're welcome here!
"For the first time in years I could cry again, this time not out of misery but out of love for myself."
Tuur Van Hove
Body-oriented psychotherapist, trainer, and supervisor
Hi, I'm Tuur Van Hove, and I live with my husband in Racour, a small village in Belgium. In 2005, after a period during which I lost myself in a destructive relationship, I came into contact with the Aumm Institute. This marked the beginning of my personal and spiritual journey.
Drawing on my own personal journey as a man who is attracted to men, as well as my many years of experience as a body-oriented therapist, I’ll guide you in a light, playful, and free-spirited way through the world of connection, intimacy, and sexuality.
During the workshop, we’ll work together to create a safe space where you can play, discover, and experiment with your feelings—both in connection with yourself and with other men. Freedom and safety are central to this experience.
What participants say
Take up the challenge
"My participation was definitely a positive experience in terms of accepting my sexual orientation and the choices I've made in my life."
