Oct 8-11 · Potomac, MT
A Montana men’s retreat for authentic masculinity in challenging times.
Phase one
Grief. Breath. Silence. Fire. We go inward first, into the parts of ourselves that are hardest to face, to access what’s real.
Phase two
Skills. Mentorship. Action. Then we come back out and put that power to work, in ourselves and in each other.
One continuous ritual, held by brotherhood, rhythm, and sacred fire the whole way through.
