Some of the most transformational work you
can do is in a group of other men.

Maybe you’ve felt the call. The call to get unstuck and find clarity. The call to stop sabotaging yourself, find a connection to your purpose, and how to lead your relationship.

At some point in every man’s life, he will be called to step into the unknown territory of confrontation.

To confront the things he’s been avoiding, hiding, and scared to face.

To confront the obstacles and weight he’s been carrying for months, years or even decades.

You might be:

If this sounds familiar and you’re ready to do the work, then this weekend is your call. This is a place of initiation for you to confront and overcome what you’ve been ignoring or denying. It will propel you through the psychological and emotional barriers that are holding you back and reconnect you to your power, decisiveness, and joy.

This experience will also be confronting and you will face your fears. It will push you in the ways you’ve been avoiding, and bring you face-to-face with your darkness.

It will be expanding and you will

return a more free and complete man.

An Initiation Into The Man You're Capable Of Being

This weekend isn’t a vacation, it’s designed to help you face the parts of yourself that you reject — the unconscious content responsible for your relational, financial, and sexual sabotage so that you can live with more purpose, confidence, and clarity.

Here's what you can expect:

What You'll Get

You will walk away from the weekend with more than knowledge. You’ll also
pick up lasting tools to use when you’re faced with life’s challenges.

You’ll walk away with:

Tools and tactics to quell the voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough.

The ability to move through the
limitations that have held you
back for years.

Direction. You’ll be on your path to empowerment and purpose.

A brotherhood that will stand by you well past the end of the weekend.

Ability to lead
your relationship powerfully from a
place of confidence, love,
and strength.

The strategies, science and
art of connecting with
everything you are. Yes,
even the bad shit.

A Weekend With Real Results

Success Stories

I learned more about being a man in these few days than I did from my father my entire life.
I knew I needed the men’s weekend but wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Simply put it was transformative and life-changing. I’ll be back again and again.
Chris S.
By the end of this trip not only did I find my voice but I found confidence that was hiding.
Heading into the men’s retreat I really had no idea what I would gain. I told myself that I would be an open book and absorb whatever came my way. In the back of my head my guard was up. I was afraid of what would come up, what I would face and who was going to see this side of me. I’ve been afraid of allowing my masculinity to be seen for so long. Either I’m too aggressive or too passive. I learned this doesn’t have to be the case. I learned I can be unapologetically me. A great man.
James K.
Being vulnerable and receiving support from a group of men who also struggle was vastly more impactful than any individual therapy session I’ve ever done.
I began my Men’s Weekend with anxiety, self-doubt and no idea what to expect. The only thing I knew was that at 56 I was tired of myself. I could no longer continue down the road of self-destruction and disconnection. Through Connor and his team, I was able to share the pain I was feeling, understand where it was coming from and fully grieve in a way that I never have before—in the company of men. I never felt alone or judged and will be forever connected to every man in my group. I was able to share the pain I was feeling, understand where it was coming from and fully grieve in a way that I never have before
Joe O.
I was surprised at how affected I was by the other men's stories and their courage to face their shadows and dig deep
The greatest shift for me was actually being able to sit in circle with other men. I chanced from being in a community of men who are courageous enough to be vulnerable, present, and committed to each other throughout the weekend. It broke me open, gave me insight, and made me realize that I need a community of men like this to lean on, learn from, and give back to.
