Dear Brothers {& Sisters}!

We are each a part of the whole, a part of this world and as we heal, as we do our inner work we become the healing that this world needs. We each have our own path to walk and there is also an important time to come together, to be in community, to support, process & reflect together, to challenge each other with respect and to heal together, to lift each other, ourselves and world up. There is great value and power in men being together in a healing way and doing this work. This is why we created this week to come together, be in community in a healing place and support and grow together in this journey of life as men.

Yes! We are living in powerful times and they offer us a gift. A gift of our presence, integrity and strength, an opportunity that challenges us to become better humans, better men, to ignite the fire within our hearts and souls and nurture the deeper meaning of our lives. To consider our sacred purpose in this life and bring forth the gift of our presence as men of heart and soul.

This retreat will offer the space for deep practice, healing, and the inner work needed to support you in cultivating the courage and tools to advance you on your path to mastery and purpose. Throughout the week, you will engage in a range of deep and highly effective practices, including daily embodiment and movement, meditation, transformational breath-work, men’s circle group work, and authentic healing ceremonies.

This retreat offers you a heartfelt sanctuary from everyday life, a reverently held space where your safety, growth, healing, and empowerment are our deepest commitments

It can be of great benefit to be with other men in community, in practice and in ceremony. We are inspired to be in this space with you and we welcome you to join us for a powerful, nourishing and transforming week of brotherhood, practice, presence, inquiry and inner work.

We will have daily movement, meditation and breath work practices. Group work, circles and authentic healing ceremonies including a Sacred Temezcal fire ceremony and also an optional traditional rapé ceremony. A one day vision quest on a deserted island and time to rest in silence and contemplation. We will each be challenged this week to find inner strength, courage, softness and compassion. This is a time to be truly yourself, reconnect to the Fire in your Heart, your purpose and the power of the sacred masculine presence within you.

This retreat brings together a group of men with over a 100 years of combined experience and the extraordinary power of conscious brotherhood.

All men are welcome to join us in the Spirit of peace, healing, mutual respect & inner growth.
