Summer Evolution Festival
Summer Evolution is a Summer Festival by Gay Love Spirit that has been taking place since 2016 in the east of Berlin. Since 2022, it has also expanded to a remote location near the Swabian Alps, creating a paradise for individuals who are passionate about personal growth and exploration in areas such as creative intimacy, spirituality, self-growth, bodywork, shamanism, performance, ritual, sound healing, and sexological bodywork, among others.
We offer many workshops running in parallel, performances, demonstrations, exchange and a lot of inspiring encounters in an extraordinary location.
We present unusual individuals to play with, and explore the contact points of sexuality, spirituality, bodywork, shamanism, mindfulness, movement, ritual and performance. You can expand your horizons in the workshops and in the encounters together with the other men, discover and enjoy.
Summer Evolution provides food for thought, ideas and new images. We promote a smart, tolerant and playful approach to spirituality and sexuality.
Summer Evolution is aimed at unconventional thinking and loving people from all walks of life, scenes and subcultures. The Spitzmühle and the remote location at the Swabian Alps are special places which ensures meeting at all levels. Join our Summer Evolution Community!

Felix Ruckert about Thomas
"Thomas offers a fresh look on tantric practices and Conscious Sexuality. Working mostly with gay men for the last twenty years he developed his own pragmatic, hands-on and humorous style, stripping traditional Tantra from heteronormativity, superficial philosophy and esoteric folklore. This original approach makes his work very valuable for all sexual identities and orientations."
