Harmonies masculines
A naked retreat for men
Retreats at Fantasy Farm are precious interludes: through tailored workshops, they open a way — day by day — to connect with yourself in order to meet others more fully, within a caring frame.
Format: workshops and activities start on Thursday in the late afternoon and finish on Sunday at midday. You can arrive earlier and leave later if you wish.
How it unfolds: each day offers a movement from self towards others, through workshops that explore different ways of relating between men — in our bodies, our sensations, our emotions — and of caring for one another.
Who leads it: Mark runs the retreat, designs the workshops and looks after the place. Trained in yoga and in ayurvedic and Thai massage, he has a practice of movement, dance and trance, along with an instinctive creativity. All of this allows him to offer rich retreats, conceived for a group of men and for naturist practice.
What's included: accommodation and full vegetarian board. Dorms sleep three or four; everyone has their own bed.
Participants: 10 maximum. These retreats are for men only.
Nudity and intimacy: naturism and nudity are practised here, but never imposed. You need to be at ease with the nudity of others, and with the sensuality of touch.
Consent: consent is required at every moment and is never assumed. Anyone can say no, leave a workshop or stop an exchange at any time, without having to explain.
Requirements: the Harmonies masculines workshops are physical and call for a minimum of suppleness, stamina and capacity to concentrate. A phone conversation answers any questions and confirms your place.
Price: €500 for the stay, all inclusive (workshops, activities, accommodation, full board). €50 per additional night, full board. Each participant must hold a current annual membership of the association: €30.
🦋 A creative weaving of techniques
Tailored workshops, for an approach that is coherent and respectful.
Some might associate Fantasy Farm's retreats with what is called neo-tantra. Yet Fantasy Farm offers no system, no dogma, no mysticism and no psychological manipulation. Personal development isn't pursued here as an end in itself: it's the place, and what happens in it, that allow each person to follow their own path. Conversations here are rich and open. The sensual dimension is naturally part of the journey on offer. The sexual dimension isn't the heart of the retreat, but nor is it excluded: some workshops may take on an erotic quality, and the retreat sets aside dedicated time for consent around intimacy. Nothing is ever expected of anyone.
Fantasy Farm rests above all on a mastery of the yoga and ayurvedic traditions, and of a range of massage practices. Philosophies and spiritualities are known here but aren't central, because the workshops draw on our own experiences and beliefs, which remain unique and individual. Enchantment, creativity, nature and a touch of madness are both the sources of inspiration and the guides at Fantasy Farm.
Every workshop is built to fit the group and the people in it: each person's limits, desires and capacities are respected. Expression is free, consent is individual; both are respected without anyone having to justify themselves.
Yoga
Connecting with your body is a necessity. The yoga workshops are a chance to warm up and stretch, then to link breath to movement, developing awareness of it and moving into the sensations and the energetic dimension of our being. The tools used are alignment, strengthening, breath, and awareness of the body and its energies. The styles practised at Fantasy Farm draw on BKS Iyengar, Bernadette de Gasquet (APOR) and Béatrice Millerand.
Massage
Touch — of yourself or another, as giver or receiver — is an ancient act of care. The touch and massage workshops are an opportunity to give and to receive the touch of one or several others. They are technical workshops, but they don't necessarily rest on strict protocols: on the contrary, they open a way out of protocol, letting sensation and instinct guide the hands. Some workshops build towards a complete massage; others explore the development of tactile intuition and work on detail.
Movement
Moving, finding your way through space, are essential to fluidity and to connection with others. The workshops are a chance to learn to move your body to the rhythm of sound and along the thread of your own sensations.
Creativity
Fantasy Farm is a place of creativity where many mediums are used. The creativity workshops are a means of expression, a way of sharing experience and emotion, individually and together. Writing, drawing, costume and adornment, performance and modelling are the mediums on offer.
Nature
Mark's own project is to use nature as a vehicle for transformation — to find your true nature in nature. This runs through everything at Fantasy Farm, in the rituals as much as in the workshops.
Sharing
These retreats bring together men who want to meet each other and discover each other, and to share exceptional moments. Fantasy Farm offers the safety and the care that make these exchanges possible.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the Harmonies masculines retreat and the professional massage training?
The retreat is an invitation to share touch between men and to build connection. It emphasises creative, intuitive touch, alongside yoga practice for a better understanding of your own anatomy and range of movement. The professional training, by contrast, teaches structured protocols and provides a complete framework for practising massage professionally.
Do I need experience of yoga?
No — all levels are welcome and the practice adapts to each person. What's needed is the ability to listen, to be present, to follow instructions and not to push beyond your limits: yoga is a practice of awareness, not a performance. It's also physical and demanding, so any medical contraindication should be mentioned.
Can I practise yoga more intensively?
This naked retreat for men offers a gentle, low-intensity practice. The residential yoga retreat, over five full days, is where you can live yoga intensively and explore all its facets, practical and philosophical.
What does "naturist" mean here?
It means being able to be and to practise naked, without it ever being imposed. Nudity at Fantasy Farm is not exhibitionism: it's a simple, natural way of living, held within respect and care. Being at ease with the nudity of others does matter, though.
What kind of massage is practised during the retreat?
The techniques draw on ayurveda, without strict protocol. The workshops focus on sensation and intuition; technical elements are offered to help each person build their own approach and develop their tactile intuition. Within a consented exchange of care, the approach may well be sensual, even erotic.
Is sexuality addressed during the retreats?
Yes, it can be, within an explicit frame of consent. The retreats may include workshops devoted to consent around sexuality and intimate practices.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely — most participants come on their own. It's a chance to meet people.
Can couples come?
Yes. For this retreat, that means male couples; for stays and other formats, all couples are welcome.
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel free of charge up to 30 days before the retreat begins, and everything you have paid is refunded in full. After that, the deposit stays with the association. If we are the ones to cancel, everything is refunded.
