Easton Mountain hosts around twenty gatherings a year — most running a long weekend or a full week — each one designed to give gay men something that’s genuinely hard to find anywhere else: time and space to go deeper.
Some retreats are produced directly by Easton Mountain. Others are organized by partner facilitators and organizations who share our values and operate within our guidelines, with Easton staff present throughout. All of them take place on our 100-acre campus in the Hudson Valley foothills, with meals provided and a community of 40 to 65 men gathered around a shared intention.
