“i want every man to experience the magic of [himeros]. Our world will become full of love when the men come to truly love themselves sexually.”

“[Himeros] is a powerful container that supports men in exploring their shadows and healing old trauma. I unhooked a decades old pattern of holding back in sex with my wife for fear of hurting her. I now feel empowered, strong, and clear that my role is to bring my full self to all of my interactions with her, including sex.”

“Some stories from here I would tell my children and grandchildren for the years to come, others I would take them with me to my grave smiling :)”

“I learned that pleasure happens in my body, eroticism comes from within my mind. My sexuality is a combination of both and I need to elevate my awareness of both.”

“The best retreat I have been to in my life. I initiated the healing of my toxic sexual patterns and learned a lot about my sexuality. The food and accommodations were top notch and played an integral part in my journey. The love, empathy, and open hearted-ness was out of this world. The facilitators were extremely professional and giving. The group will stay connected forever.”

“It was a taste of my freedom. A preview of a possible path. The journey continues!”

“I came here tight-chested, stressed from work and feeling like I’m going to lose the love of my life. I now feel more connected to myself than I ever have. I possess the tools to rebuild love and pleasure in my relationship and I had an orgasm so good I felt the presence of god: Remember how you felt in session. You can always go back there.”

“This experience easily goes to the top 3 experiences I wish I had in my life 20 years ago. I am immensely grateful to everyone in the [himeros] project and myself for what was created this week. I’m excited and empowered to bring what I’ve learned into my life in all of my relationships; platonic and romantic or otherwise.”

“[himeros] offers men an opportunity to rewrite narratives in a supportive environment of true brotherhood.”

“I mean… what the fuck?! My asshole has never felt so good! Just come. You won’t regret it. To say you get full value for your investment of time and money is a massive understatement. It was amazing being cared for by loving, trained, trauma-informed professionals who show up with their whole heart without a private agenda.”

“[Himeros] s a brave new world where men can explore the many facets of having a male body and how they can express themselves in the world.”

“I was looking for a charge in my life. I simply needed more in life. [Himeros] was my lifeline, my catalyst for change. Now I am equipped to live a life I truly love.”

“[Himeros] is a retreat customized to each participants unique situation, and offers men to deeply explore the root causes of painful patterns in their lives. I was able to use this retreat to heal decades old trauma that was affecting my sexual relationship with my wife, how I interacted with other men and women, and most importantly my relationship with myself. With the caring support of a brotherhood of men and the talented team of facilitators, somatic sex educators and bodyworkers, I was able to not only discover the roots of my trauma, but the context that created them. This helped me forgive and love myself, and recognize my role in healing my relationships, armed with powerful concepts and tools I learned and practiced in the retreat. I highly recommend [Himeros] to any men seeking an exponential leap in his self-discovery and personal growth.”

“Attending the [HImeros] men’s retreat was a pivotal, powerful and profound dive into a completely new way of being with my pain and my pleasure.  The way in which Cosmo,  and the amazing team build and held sacred space for men to do deep, meaningful and lasting transformational work was second to none. 

I’ve spent much of my life working on healing trauma, both personally and collectively.  The [Himeros] experience gave me the permission I didn’t even know I was looking for to explore and transform my personal healing journey in an ongoing process that has touched almost every aspect of my daily life.

Shedding layers upon layers of stored emotional scars, shame, disconnection, and aversion from my deepest desires has given me newfound strength, resilience and inspiration.  It’s provided me with a lasting, un-abiding feeling of lovingly being at home in my body, mind and heart.

The time has come for men to turn towards their most vulnerable, hidden places and the way in which Apollo guides that process has ignited a deep fire inside of my being that is helping me show up in service to humanity on an entirely new and exciting level. 

The possibilities feel endless for how this impactful work will continue to inform and transform my shadow into a light that is filled with a joy of being human, rather than a deep resentment of what it means to walk in a body on this Earth.

I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to share this amazing experience with other men, and with the incredibly well trained practitioners who gave their gifts to us with an impeccable sense of service to healing the wounds of a culture that has lost its way when it comes to erotic energy and the source of creative life force itself.”
