The Brotherhood of the Ichetucknee River

Welcome, Brother. We’re glad you found us.

Your community needs you — and you need your community.

You may be wondering…
What is 386YogaClub.com?
What is the Brotherhood of the Ichetucknee River?

Here’s the simple answer:

386 Yoga Club (Ichetucknee Yoga Club & Nature Retreat) is a nature-based gathering space in North Florida, just 3 miles down the road from Ichetucknee Springs. It’s 40 acres of family-owned land, an 8-acre spring-fed lake, open skies, fire circles, yoga, kayaking, camping, and space to breathe.

The Brotherhood of the Ichetucknee River is a community rooted in that land — a circle of gay, bi, and trans men, along with welcoming allies, gathering for camping weekends, river floats, lake days, shared meals, and connection that feels grounded and real.

For 27 years, many of us came together here for the annual tradition known as Bears on the River. That chapter mattered. It created friendships, memories, and a sense of belonging on these waters.

The Brotherhood isn’t a replacement. It’s the next expression of that same spirit.

We carry forward what worked — the floating, the laughter, the campfires, the brotherhood — and we build something sustainable, welcoming, and community-led for the years ahead.

Some gatherings are simple river days.
Some include yoga or kayaking.
Some are overnight campouts under the stars.

All of them are about continuing a tradition of connection in a way that grows with us.

You’re not here by accident.
The river is still flowing.
Welcome to the Brotherhood. 🌿🔥🌊
