About this Workshop

SAFETY POLICY: At this trying time, we must limit to men who are vaccinated by the time of the retreat, or, show a negative Covid test 2-3 days before the retreat.

We will gather for a weekend of aliveness, brotherhood, emotional release, support, story-telling, drumming, ritual, grief and praise — helping each other find sanity, aliveness, and strength in these tough confusing times.

What to Bring: comfortable clothes, bathing suit and towel, sandals, toiletries, drum (if you have), writing journal, water bottle.

Beds are available, or on-site tent camping.

We make our meals as a community.
