“basecamp”

3-4 day retreats

“basecamp” is your invitation to get out of your head and forge your purpose while exploring forest trails and building genuine brotherhood with other [good]men.

This retreat offers time and space to purposefully develop your unique “works > in > progress”.

Along the way, you’ll be allowed to hit pause.

You’ll be genuinely listened to with respect and in complete confidentiality. And you’ll receive customized feedback, gain new insights, + reframe priorities.

Ultimately: you’ll re-energize your path forward.

Who are YOU at this moment?

Are you a Man on the Brink of Change?

If you're craving change, feeling stuck, or standing at a critical crossroads of life, “basecamp” retreat offers you space to reflect and chart possible next steps with clarity.

Are You Craving Balance in Life, Work, Your Head, Your Heart?

Life easily slips out of alignment. We may focus well on certain parts of life while ignoring other aspects entirely. But what would happen if we sought to invest in all that we are? “basecamp” is your chance to recalibrate and refocus on what truly matters.

Are You Seeking Brotherhood and Connection?

Finding real male friendships is a gift. It also gets harder as we go through life, particularly in an era of disconnection and loneliness. So, let’s reverse that together.

Are You Asking the Big Questions?

If you’re questioning the deeper ‘why’ behind your actions and choices, this retreat is designed to help you uncover and align with your greater purpose on your terms.

Are You Ready for a Reset?

Stuck in your head? Telling the same story? The “basecamp” retreat experience will help you step outside and gain new perspective for what can lie ahead.

I was curious to meet other [good[men in the world

What this retreat IS

Escaping the Noise

Step away from daily demands. Reconnect with yourself. Enjoy brisk sunrises in nature, morning intention-setting, guided conversations and hikes, solo moments for quiet reflection, nourishing salon dinners and fireside evenings.

Brotherhood+ Connection:

As we get older, building friendships + finding meaningful male support becomes more and more challenging. Here, we see it as an absolute priority.

Curiosity-Driven Conversations

Join purpose-driven men for meaningful conversations centered on life’s unique “works > in > progress”. Uncover new perspectives and possibilities.

Perspective Challenges

Explore the stories you tell yourself. Guided “basecamp” sessions will help you question assumptions, break free of limits, and embrace fresh possibilities.

A Little Adventure

Stretch your comfort zone with an outdoor adventure. Connect back to nature. Breathe fresh air. Explore trails. Add energy to your current life journey.

What this retreat IS NOT

Not Therapy

Understanding our inner life and emotional perspective will be vital to the experience. But “basecamp” is not a counseling nor professional therapy.

Not a ‘Guys Weekend’ Hangout

These are not dudes coming to waste time, ignore real-world responsibilities, and mindlessly drink. There’s a time and place for that but not at “basecamp”.

Not a Holiday

This is about stepping into nature to embrace real challenges. Yes, we’ll invest in your health and energy. But this isn’t a spa or pampered relaxation.

Not a Pitch or Networking Event

Every man will bring professional talent and experience to “basecamp”. On the other hand, they are not here to make deals or offer market-ready solutions.

Not All Talk

While conversations are vital to the experience, this retreat is about exploring how to take purposeful steps forward, not ego, debate or analysis.
