Why a men’s retreat might be the most powerful experience you have
“A retreat? Isn’t masculinity about never retreating? No holding back? Getting things done?”
Someone once told me that execution without a plan is like firing an arrow without a target.
Most men today live their lives without a target, an intention, or a purpose.
Unfortunately, most men are stuck in ‘soul-sucking’ jobs, draining them of life force, living to get by based on fear. They are driven by the past and have no real clarity on where they are going. Most men are so busy making the same mistakes their parents did, or hating their parents so much that they are running on subconscious patterns that sabotage themselves.
Is this you?
It’s time to take a step back and retreat from your life. To soul-search for your truest self. To feel deeply into yourself, and take a moment to question your life.
I’ve hosted around a dozen retreats before and attended a dozen more. It is clear that the most powerful experiences happen in these containers.
Here is a list of some of the known benefits of attending a men's retreat:

I’m hosting a Men's Breathwork Retreat.
This epic experience on Bowen Island still has a few spaces available. It will take place on January 22nd, 2022.
On this retreat, we will gather like-minded men to have the opportunity to come together as brothers and reflect on our journey into manhood, drop into brotherly practices, build community & ritual, and be heard in a safe and non-judgmental space.
This retreat is for any man who wants to be a powerful leader, a role model, a man willing to step through fear and into the challenge of his life. For the man wanting to cultivate healthy masculinity in his life. The man that wants to consciously practice integrity, resilience, courage, compassion, empathy, radical self-responsibility, inclusiveness, creativity, innovation, adaptability, generosity, and respect.
