THE CONCEPT

This year, we take a look at aging. Whilst acknowledging and grieving the things that aging may strip us of, we want to explore the idea that:

  • We can find a flow of continual improvement throughout life.

  • The final stages of life might be the most fulfilling.

  • Aging can bring freedom from society’s expectations.

  • Our later years may hold fewer financial and time constraints.

  • We can let go of our own self-limiting ideas.

  • We can dream for ourselves, a fulfilling and abundant old age.

  • We can become confident in the resources we have amassed over decades and their value to our communities.

A MODULAR RETREAT

Over 11 consecutive days we will be offering three modules, which can be combined or taken as one-off workshops.

As in previous years we will be curating a clothing optional space, blending practices and experiences taken from :

  • Tantra tradition

  • Modern somatic and conscious sexuality traditions

  • Radical Faerie Culture

  • Personal growth

  • Queer intentional communities

  • Sacred Intimacy

  • And many other traditions.

THE MODULES

  • Module One:

    Friday 3rd July – Monday 6th July

    MEET YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE – GENTLY EXPAND TO BECOME EVEN MORE

    A beginner-friendly weekend combining mindfulness, somatic awareness, conscious touch, yoga, meditation, and tantric practices. Also suitable for experienced participants.

  • Module Two:

    Monday 6th July – Wednesday 8th July

    MEET YOUR RESOURCES – NATURE, FRIENDS, TOUCH AND SIMPLY JUST BEING

    A relaxed, self-created mini-retreat, for those curious about community in the Radical Faerie culture.

    Take time out to relax, unwind and connect.

    These will be un-programmed ‘hanging-out’ days, focused on community living. With shared cooking, cuddling and chilling, maybe optional taster workshops, and opportunities to explore the land and beautiful surrounding areas together.

  • Module Three:

    Wednesday 8th July – Monday 13th July

    MEET YOUR FUTURE SELF – IMAGINE THE MOST MATURE AND COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF YOURSELF

    A reflective, in-depth exploration of aging as gay and queer men* — embracing slowing down, compassion, and life beyond society’s pressure to stay young.

    There will be chances to mourn what’s lost but also to dream into being what could be.

*This retreat is aimed primarily at exploring the experience of those who identify on a spectrum of masculinity. You will know whether this is you or not. All bodies are welcome and if you are unsure whether this workshop will suit you, please send me a message, so that we can explore that together: maevonfae@gmail.com

I feel immense gratitude to Maevon for having made this possible. This retreat showed me many things about myself that I hadn’t seen or heard before, and here I felt safe to express myself as I truly am. It was an eye-opening and profound experience. Plus the beautiful place, the delicious food and the friendly participants and team made it even better.

Andrés, Colombia/UK

This retreat was nothing less than a life-changing experience. Maevon held the space beautifully with humour, kindness, care and confidence, creating an atmosphere of complete safety. The activities built over the week developing a great sense of trust , enabling intimate and sensual session leading to highly erotic massage with a deeply spiritual basis. I will definitely attend the next one and will be sure to bring some friends.

Queercus is an old sheep farm located on the border of the Dordogne and the Charente. It is currently home to six radical faeries, as well as hosting events. Participants of Prime-Time will stay in the main farmhouse or in one of the converted farm buildings and will have full access to the pool, the garden and the 50 acres of semi-wooded grounds.
