A gathering born in isolation as our hearts yearned to connect with one another, returns: Yearning Man – Summer 2021.

In isolation we miss so much of the magic of life. In the midst of a pandemic, we thought gathering was enough, but serendipity and giving hearts took over and that gathering in the desert took a life of its own.

The result unexpected— an outpouring of love, deep connection, and pure joy expressed among a close group of people who danced under the stars together, went deep with each other in new ways, experienced dolphins in pools, and bonded over meals and discussions. A tribe emerged.

As the pandemic chapter closes and a new world emerges, it’s time to recharge the light we found in the desert not long ago and carry it forward: how can we create a world post-pandemic that’s better than it was?

Same location, different experience. New areas to explore. 65 yearning hearts and souls.

Many of our friends will be generously contributing their talents (speaking, DJing, performing). We invite you to bring any gifts you’d like to do – this is a participatory experience, you are invited to create with us.

Lured by the desert, we’re returning to our beloved Two Bunch Palms in a private buyout. During our magical weekend, we’ll be offering:

• Full resort takeover, limiting to 65 people

• Pool time + natural hot springs soaks + spa time

• Outdoor communal dining (meals and most drinks included)

• Stargazing

• Relaxed schedule

• Music and dancing

• Community-led workshops and facilitations

• Connection

• No commercial goal - just want to continue bringing good people together

Located in Desert Hot Springs, California.

Located less than two hours from Los Angeles and 20 mins from the Palm Springs Airport, our desert oasis awaits. Just bring yourself—we’ll handle the rest.
