Being Men: A Retreat for Modern Masculinity
Friday, June 6 – Sunday, June 8, 2025
Optional Swimming Hole Adventure Stay-Over: Monday, June 9
To be a man in this world is to walk a path full of contradictions - strong and soft, protector and nurturer, leader and one who surrenders to the flow of life. Too often, we are told we must be one thing or the other, that vulnerability and power cannot coexist. But we know the truth: that real masculinity is expansive, not restrictive. That to stand fully in who we are means embracing every part of ourselves.
Being Men is a recurring gathering for those who feel called to a different kind of masculinity - one rooted in camaraderie, authenticity, and self-discovery. Our first event was a powerful reminder of what is possible when men come together with open hearts. This full weekend retreat is the next step. A deeper dive into shared experiences, honest conversation, and the kind of brotherhood that is both rare and necessary.
Over the course of the weekend, we will explore what it means to be a man in today’s world - not through lectures, but through real engagement, through story, through movement, through time spent in nature. Expect deep discussion, shared rituals, nature therapy, and a heck of a lot of fun. Expect moments of laughter, moments of silence, moments of recognition. Expect to be challenged in the best possible way.
And if you want to stretch the experience a little further, we’ll have an optional stay-over on Monday, June 9, where we’ll head to the swimming hole and let it all soak in.
If you are seeking something real - if you are ready to stand alongside other men who are asking the same questions, walking the same journey - then this is for you.
Come as you are. Show up for yourself. Show up for each other.
With brotherhood,
Bala, Britt, Nick and Sean
