Join Dr. Alan Downs in Costa Rica for 5 Days of Transformative Workshops

Inspired by his groundbreaking book The Velvet Rage, this immersive, all-inclusive retreat — created exclusively for gay and queer men — opens a space to explore peace, purpose, and the freedom to live with ease and genuine contentment.

Part of Reunion’s Cultivating Pride & Authenticity retreat series, and guided by Alan Downs, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and bestselling author, you’ll take part in workshops that explore gay identity, emotional healing, and the path toward deeper belonging and joy.

More than a getaway, this is a meaningful experience of letting go of old stories and cultivating contentment within, supported by a community that understands you.
