Concept
Concept- What is “tantra”? Tantra is an ancient Indian discipline that uses the healing power of touch to balance your body and mind. It works miracles to unblock emotional issues and insecurities, as any attendant to our previous workshops will tell you.
- Is any previous knowledge necessary? No. All tantra workshops will be taught at an introductory level
- Is there any physical requirement for yoga or other exercises? Not really. Any man able to get up from the floor, climb a regular stair and stretch a little bit qualifies for the workshops. The premises are not fully accessible for people with reduced mobility because of the rural nature of the countryhouse (sorry for that).
Guests
Guests- Is this just for bears? No, but it is men-only and you should be at least comfortable in the company of gay bears. Chasers and admirers are of course very welcome, as in any Bear Carnival event.
- Can I ask for a special diet because of my allergies? Yes, of course. It’s essential that you inform us at booking time using the remarks field. Please note people with severe intolerance to gluten should not attend the retreat, as the house only has one kitchen so traces of gluten could be unavoidable.
Your time here
Your time here- Is nudity compulsory? No. You can wear whatever suits you, from a light sarong to comfy sports kit. However, most if not all visitors to the house usually choose to go naked after few hours in the premises.
- Is this basically a sex event? No, this is not a sex event per se. But of course, sex could be be part of your experience if you enjoy some mutual attraction from other guests, as would happen in any holiday surrounded with such freedom. However, we do encourage visitors to practise and share a more fulfilling type of tactile communication and eroticism, as learnt in the workshops.
- Is attendance to all activities compulsory? No. You can spend your holiday time as you wish.
- Can I leave the house if I need to? Of course. You can call a taxi and you will be in Maspalomas in 10 minutes.
- Can I take photos? Due to the clothing optional and discreet nature of this event, photography in general is discouraged. Given the case, anyone taking a picture should ask for permission from everybody around.
🚌 Transportation to the house
- Is transport cost included? We are sorry not to be able to provide bus transportation to the workshops or retreats. This was necessary to keep the prices reasonable.
- How much would a taxi cost? From Maspalomas, around 15/25 €. From the airport: 55/60 € (regular daytime fee).
- Is there a way to share the cost? You can share the cost by posting a request on any of our visitor chats at Telegram or Facebook.
- Can I rent a car and get there? Yes, but please let us know first to properly plan for your parking space.
🛏️ Accommodation at the house
- How are rooms assigned? Rooms will be assigned on a “first come, first served” basis. Because private rooms are limited, it is recommended that you register as soon as possible to ensure that you get the room of your choice.
What should I bring?
What should I bring?All materials for the tantra sessions are included in the price, but we kindly ask you to bring the following personal items:
- A sarong / small towel / lightweight short for coverage for when you want to be covered

❓About us
- Who’s behind this event? Arnie Shivananda has been Bear Carnival’s tantra facilitator from the very beginning of the bear week, except a short hiatus in 2024. You can learn more at his professional website.
- What about safety? Casa Agama is a registered business and it is covered by an civil liability insurance. Any sort of drug or alcohol intoxication is not permitted. Maspalomas Public Health Centre is less than 8 km away from Aya House. All guests are required to declare any respiratory or contagious desease before the event starts, so we can take appropiate hygienic measures.
💸 Can I ask for a refund?
Yes, but only in you have access to your ticket, and one of these cases apply: event postponing / cancellation, official weather alert stopping guests from accessing, or travel restrictions from / to your country. A cancellation fee of 15 € per order may apply, just to cover the expenses of the administration and the payment gateway. Otherwise, all sales are final; situations such as personal problems, a change of mind or disagreeable weather forecast should be covered by an inexpensive travel insurance you can get anywhere.
The online shop features an additional set of frequent questions, terms and conditions (you know, the boring stuff you must accept before booking)
