MENS RETREAT
May 30th - June 5th, 2024
THE JOURNEY
When we look carefully at how we perceive, understand, and navigate the world, the first stop is to examine how we perceive, understand, and apply ourselves to our experiences. It's easy to look "out". It's much harder to discern what's ACTUALLY authentic and true "within". Join us for a week-long journey into understanding the difference between what we're projecting and what's authentic within the self. The goal: to get real, to dispel blindspots, and to emerge with tools that channel our personal power with grace and generosity. It'll take more than a week to get there, but this retreat will be a good start on the rest of your life.
CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES
We'll use breathwork, yoga, Qigong and meditation as touchstones and gateways into deep inner transformational work. These practices not only clarify the mind and the body, they offer perspective on our "big picture."

PHYSICAL, GROUNDED PRACTICE
