Before you dive headfirst into the pool parties, belly rubs, and dancefloor mayhem of Bear Carnival 2026, why not take a moment to connect with yourself—and with other soulful bears—on a deeper level?
The Tantra Sessions is back: the only bear tantra festival in the world, and it’s happening just before Bear Carnival officially starts.
- Retreat: March 17–19, 2026
- Additional Workshops: March 24 and 26 (TBC)
Held in a secluded rural house just 10 minutes from Yumbo, this two-night retreat (with optional follow-up workshops during bear week) is designed to awaken your body, heart, and spirit. Led by beloved facilitator Arnie Shivananda, this is not just about incense and chakras—it’s about real intimacy, touch-based healing, and joyful connection in a men-loving-men space.
Expect:
✔️ Guided touch rituals
✔️ Heart-centered tantra practices
✔️ Meditation and movement
✔️ Full board and shared accommodation
✔️ Clothing-optional freedom (yes, of course)
With just 20 spots available, this is one of the most exclusive—and transformative—experiences of the season. Whether you’re a tantra newbie or a seasoned cuddle wizard, you’ll step into Bear Carnival glowing from the inside out.
💶 Retreat price: From €245 (probably the most inexpensive alternative of its kind)
