About the Retreat

The Embodied Leadership Men’s Retreat is a transformative weekend retreat designed to help men step into their full potential by bringing awareness to where in their life they can take more responsibility, embark on deep soul exploration, re-clarify their purpose, and feel fully alive.

Set amongst Sedona’s famous Red Rocks, this retreat offers an opportunity for men to answer the call to adventure by journeying to one of the most desirable and spiritual landscapes in America. This is an invitation for men to release the stress of their day to day lives, realign themselves, and recalibrate towards their full power. By answering this call, men will immerse themselves in a sacred container that offers necessary self exploration, deep brotherhood, and critical breakthroughs in accessing their highest potential.

This retreat is not only a getaway from the grind, but it is a recalibration to truly aligned living. By taking this leap, attendees will shed limiting beliefs and social conditioning and instead realize and reclaim the authentic power within in order to lead themselves, family, and others with integrity and confidence.

Friday, Oct 3: 3-7:30pm (10am – 2pm ~ Optional 1:1 sessions)
