GMSR - Gay Men's Spiritual Retreat Seeking to enhance the spiritual lives of gay men, The Gay Men's Spiritual Retreat sponsors several events including our Retreat every June in Julian, CA.

The Gay Men's Spiritual Retreat seeks to enhance the spiritual lives of gay men. The GMSR sponsors retreats and related activities through which gay men examine and improve their spirituality in a manner that seems best to them. We define spirituality as the sum of the non-physical attributes which define how a person lives his life.

Earth is the element that doesn’t announce itself. It just holds - steadily, constantly, whether you notice it or not. This June, we’re spending a weekend asking what that looks like in a life. GMSR 2026 · Elemental · June 5–7 · Camp Stevens, Julian, CA · gmsr.org.

Water is the most deceptive of the four elements.

It looks passive. It yields, it bends, it takes the shape of whatever holds it. But water carved the Grand Canyon. It moves cargo ships. It finds every crack in every foundation, given enough time.

That’s not passivity. That’s patience with power behind it.

This year’s retreat theme Elemental - has something to say about Water, and it’s not a gentle landing. It’s an invitation to look at what’s moving beneath your surface, what you’re navigating around, what you’ve been holding back, and what might happen if you stopped. Flow isn’t the absence of force. It’s force that knows where it’s going.

Come find out what that means in the mountains.
