The goal of the ManToManifestation Festival is to inspire intimate and authentic connections between men and help create a more loving and supportive GBTQ community.

The theme of the festival and focus of the workshops and rituals will be men’s spirituality and sexuality.

Our intention is to facilitate men meeting themselves and each other in a place of acceptance and support. Providing an environment where men can connect and play.

The festival is open to gay, bisexual, and transgender men. All workshops and rituals will be given in English (although some of the workshop facilitators will be multi-lingual).

With this festival, we, the organizers, are trying to build a stronger and healthier gay community in Amsterdam. With less of a focus and need for going to bars or hooking up on internet apps and a greater focus on nourishing connections.

The weekend will start by bringing conscious awareness and respect to our own and other’s boundaries. The weekend hopes to provide a safe haven for self and interpersonal exploration into deepening connection. With ourselves and each other.

Please note that, although some of the workshops may contain nudity, this is not an opportunity or invitation to have sex at the venue.

And at the same time, we embrace and celebrate our sensuality and sexuality!
