You’ve done everything right.
So why does it still feel like
something’s missing?
Join a 7-day immersive retreat in Costa Rica designed for high-performing men who feel like something’s missing—purpose, clarity, and connection.
Something feels off, and you’re not sure why.
You’ve built success, checked the boxes, and held it all together.
But underneath, there’s a quiet sense of disconnection you can’t ignore.
You’re constantly in motion, but rarely feel present.
You’ve lost sight of who you are beyond your roles and responsibilities.
You’re surrounded by people—but rarely feel truly seen.
You crave depth, but everything around you feels surface-level.
You’ve been carrying a weight for too long, with nowhere to put it down.
This isn’t about escaping your life.
It’s about stepping away long enough to actually see it—and choose how you want to live it moving forward.
Something feels off, and you’re not sure why.
The Balanced Man Retreat isn’t about fixing you, it’s about remembering what’s been buried under the stress, the performance, and the pressure to keep it all together.
This 7-day experience in Costa Rica is designed to help you slow down, drop the mask, and reconnect with the man underneath it all.
You’ll unplug from distraction, move your body, speak your truth, and sit in circle with other men doing the same work. This is where clarity begins. This is where change starts.
What You’ll Experience:
Clarity and Purpose: Step away from the noise and reconnect with what actually matters to you, without pressure to be anyone but yourself.
Inner Work and Real Conversations: Through guided men’s circles and morning practices, and breathwork, you’ll explore the deeper parts of yourself in a space where truth is welcome.
Physical Challenge and Nature: Move your body, face your edges, and recharge in the elements. Ocean swims, jungle hikes, self defence training, stillness, and the power of being nature.

The Facilitators Behind The Balanced Man Retreat
They bring real-world experience, grounded presence, and powerful mentorship.
At the heart of The Balanced Man Retreat are three men who’ve each walked through fire in their own way, and come out the other side with hard-earned wisdom and the ability to hold space for others.
They’re not here to lecture you or fix you.
They’re here to challenge you, support you, and walk beside you on the path back to yourself.
Here’s what they bring to the retreat experience:
A proven ability to create safe, judgment-free space
Decades of combined experience in men’s work, coaching, and personal transformation
Deep understanding of nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and physical embodiment
A balance of intensity and compassion, built on brotherhood, not hierarchy
The capacity to call you forward without pushing you away
This is the kind of mentorship most men never receive—but all of us need.
By joining us, you step into a container led by men who live what they teach.
And who are committed to seeing you rise.
We are inviting you to join us on the next retreat, are you in?
At some point, every man must confront the obstacles he’s been avoiding or fearing. This is your moment to step into that challenge and face the burdens you’ve carried for far too long.

However This Retreat is Not For Everybody
The Balanced Man Retreat is a transformative journey designed for men ready to face their challenges and grow. However, it might not be the right fit for everyone.
This retreat is not for you if:
You’re Looking for a Vacation:
If you seek a relaxing holiday by the pool, this isn’t the experience for you. Our retreat is about pushing boundaries and engaging in activities that foster growth and resilience.
You’re Not Open to Change:
If you’re not willing to step out of your comfort zone and confront the obstacles holding you back, this retreat may not provide the results you’re looking for. Growth requires a willingness to face fears and embrace new experiences.
You’re Satisfied with the Status Quo:
If you’re content with your current routine and aren’t seeking deeper purpose or clarity, this retreat’s focus on self-discovery and personal growth may not align with your goals.
You’re Unwilling to Invest in Yourself:
If you’re not ready to invest time and effort into your well-being, the transformative benefits of our retreat might be difficult to achieve. The journey to balance and fulfillment requires commitment and active participation.
