FOR WHO
Do you long for
What about this?
The In-Depth Weekend is for men who have already participated in The Gay Soul one or more times and want to go even deeper—into themselves and into their relationships with other men.
"My participation was definitely a positive experience in terms of accepting my sexual orientation and the choices I've made in my life."
"Tuur succeeds in creating a safe bed so that men who don't know each other become a (h)real group in a wonderfully short time, and from there can take steps in their personal growth process."
* You can take The Gay Soul Advanced Course if you have already participated in The Gay Soul one or more times.

WORKING FORMS
How we work
Experience-based and at your own pace. With plenty of room for relaxation, nature, and casual connections.
Learning to stay true to yourself—and to the other person.
Slow down, let go, and listen to what’s really going on inside you.
Fun, exercise, and open space—connection doesn't have to be a burden.
Hiking, campfires, spending time together—that, too, is connection.

YOUR SUPERVISOR
Tuur Van Hove
| Utsav
Hi, my name is Tuur. I live with my husband in Racour, a small village in Belgium. In 2005 - after a period when I lost myself in a destructive relationship - I came in contact with the Aumm Institute. That marked the beginning of my personal and spiritual growth process.
From my own development as a man who falls on men and my years of experience as a body-oriented therapist, I guide The Gay Soul in a light, playful and free way. Freedom and safety are central - a space where you can play, discover and experiment with feeling.
"The workshop provides a safe space where you can play and experiment with feeling in free connection - both with yourself and with other men."
