Retreat Locations: The Dodécadôme in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, near Lyon
- Location :
Some Men’s Hearts gay and queer Tantra retreats take place just 1h30 from Lyon and 2h15 from Marseille, in the beautiful Drôme region of southeastern France, a land of mountains, forests, and ancient villages.
Between the Vercors mountains and the Saou forest, the small village of Cobonne offers a peaceful, authentic atmosphere, the kind of rural beauty that makes France so special.
In this preserved and luminous setting, the Dodécadôme stands as an eco-friendly and inspiring sanctuary designed for retreats that support mindfulness, embodiment, and brotherhood among men.
- Le Dodécadôme Retreat Center :
Just 45 minutes from Valence, Marie and David welcome us into their bioclimatic eco-retreat center, a space that is both sacred and welcoming, harmoniously integrated with nature.
The heart of the property is a twelve-sided wooden dome, filled with natural light. Its architecture inspires grounding, peace, and connection ideal for meditation, Tantra practice, and deep emotional work.
Surrounded by greenery, the Dodécadôme invites you to reconnect with your essence, to relax, and to celebrate life with other men in a spirit of openness and authenticity.
- Accommodation & Meals :
A few steps from the dome, the Gîte des Cœurs Étoilés (“Guesthouse of Starry Hearts”) offers bright shared rooms with three bathrooms.
Meals are prepared with love by Sarah, our talented cook, whose food is both nourishing and inventive, full of local flavors, seasonal ingredients, and a touch of French creativity.
A large communal dining room and an open terrace overlooking nature create the perfect atmosphere for connection and joy.
- Atmosphere & Shared Moments :
From the moment you step into the Dodécadôme, the scent of wood and the warmth of light create a feeling of calm and presence.
In the Logis des Fleurs guesthouse, spacious living areas and a semi-professional kitchen bring men together in a friendly, communal spirit.
Every pause, every ritual, and every exchange becomes an opportunity to experience brotherhood, in a space that honors both intimacy and freedom.
