​

​

Who could benefit from this?

​

Men* & People identifying on a queer masculinities spectrum

• who want to explore living a vibrant, erotically, and spiritually integrated life.

• who are interested in healing.

• who want to step into their potential.

• who want to explore authentic self-expression through body, intimacy, movement, and voice.

• who want to cultivate a deep connection to living in the here and now.

• who want to broaden their consciousness.

• who want to learn to be lovers in the broadest and the most specific sense of the word.

​

Can I register for individual days/workshops only?

​

• You can book a day pass.

• Single workshop tickets are not available though.

​

What if I’m in a workshop and asked to do something I don’t want to do?
 

• Everything you experience and are asked to do is an invitation, never a must.

• The intensity of your journey is always in your hands. Boundaries, consent, and communication are important.

• Though we want to encourage you to dive into it, the festival by its name STRETCH implements situations or moments where we step into the unknown, which can make it possible for magic to happen.

​

I would love to participate but can't afford it. What do I do?
 

• Please talk to us about flexible payment plans.

• We may also have a few spots at a reduced cost for work exchange/volunteering.

• No one will be turned away for lack of funds! Please let us know.

​

What language will workshops be in?
 

• All workshops will be held in English.

• If there are any language barriers, please make the facilitator, or the assistant aware of them, so that solutions can be found.

Why is Stretch Festival specifically for people who identify as male*?
 

• The intention is not to exclude. The intention is to provide a space that serves one particular need out of many needs that exist in the world.

• It's about a safe space for queer masculinities and the sexual orientations, erotic interests, and intimate relational dynamics within that particular field.

• There is no question that a festival across all gender identities and across all sexual orientations is also a need. However, we specialize in events for Queer Masculinities (a spectrum of male-bodied, male-identified, genderqueer, and non-binary identifying people)

​

Do you have a hygiene concept in place? 

​

Covid-19

• Beginning with Easter Stretch 2023, we no longer require testing.

• We would like to ask however, that you run a Covid-19 test if you have any cold or flu symptoms. If you don't have a test please let a staff member know. 

• Please wash your hands upon arrival.

• Please wash your hands before and after contact with others if you participate in a hands-on workshop.
