Who This Is For
This weekend is for men and masculine-of-center folks who:
- are functional, thoughtful, and a little tired
- want more real connection
- are open to emotional honesty, but don’t want to be “worked on”
- value warmth, steadiness, and respect over intensity
First-timers are welcome.
Queer, straight, trans, men of color, and mixed-experience folks belong here. If you aren’t sure, it’s probably a yes.
This is not:
- a self-improvement bootcamp
- a high-drama catharsis retreat
- group therapy or dominance-based men’s work
You always choose your level of participation.

What Actually Happens
This is a small-group, immersive weekend built around ordinary human things done with care:
- shared meals
- council-style listening
- Movement lab
- practical skills lab (eg expression, conflict, or empathy)
- an easy walk through nature
- rest and informal connection
- one evening grief ritual, held with clarity and consent
Most of the work happens through being together, not techniques.
How It Feels
• structured enough to feel safe
• flexible enough to respond to the group
• emotionally real without being overwhelming
