BEAR YOUR SOUL IS HELD AT EASTON MOUNTAIN RETREAT CENTER, JUST NORTH OF ALBANY, NY!
Break the cold and lonely spell of winter! Bear Your Soul brings together men of all shapes, colors, ages, and sizes, to have fun and celebrate ourselves. Like most Bear events, we have great food, dance parties, hot tub, sauna, and opportunities for erotic connection, but we also focus on helping guys connect more deeply than they usually can. We create real community by offering workshops and activities that help you to Connect, Play, & Discover!
Some guys need more personal growth and spiritual experiences, some want to unleash hidden talents, while others may want to explore their erotic sides. That’s why we provide a wide spectrum of experiences! You can do what’s comfortable for you or you can challenge yourself! Our goal is to create a shame-free zone that fosters a sense of radical acceptance that helps us to embrace our full and true selves. We honor the body, mind, and spirit of all of our brothers, heart-centered interaction, authenticity, respect for ourselves and others, healthy sex positivity and inclusion.
Join us for our Theater Edition! We are using the themes of storytelling and theatricality to create a schedule of workshops and activities that will use theater games, improvisation, storytelling, and drama as tools to help us CONNECT, PLAY. and DISCOVER!

Learn to tell yourself new stories about your body in Loving Our Bear Bodies or find your inner adventurer in Heroes Journey. Write new healthy scripts for your life with Coach Cub.

Then, get ready for our Sunday Spectacular, with Dinner Theater hosted by Frank Borelli (featuring improv, skits, and the premiere of Beary Poppins); followed by the grand theater of our Naming Ritual, and topping it all off with our Red Carpet Party Dance Party. After ending your evening relaxing in the sauna, hot tub or bear den, join us Monday morning for a Farewell Brunch, where Yolanda and Goldenheart take you on a journey through their musical and spiritual history together! All this and lots of old favorites, small groups, delicious meals and that unique Bear Your Soul sense of community that so many have come to love!
