"And when you reach the top, above the clouds, above the noise, above all of life's bullshit—you look back at the miles you climbed and remember how wildly freakin' capable you are."

Banff MEn’s Retreat: The (Re)Align Experience

Banff, Alberta | August 9th-16th, 2025 | $2800 per person

Scenic view of Moraine Lake with calm blue water reflecting snow-capped mountains and evergreen trees in Banff National Park, Canada.

This retreat is for men who crave more — more adventure, more challenge, more connection. Set in the breathtaking beauty of Banff National Park, this immersive experience is equal parts rugged and reflective. We’ll hike, fish, kayak, disc golf, and camp under the stars. Because doing hard things, especially when you’re surrounded by a supportive community, grows you in ways you can’t fully imagine until you’re in it.

This retreat isn’t just about pushing physical limits. It’s about pausing to ask deeper questions: How do I show up in the world? What kind of man do I want to be? Through intentional practices, nervous system regulation, and powerful conversations, we’ll build the emotional and relational tools that matter most — the kind that create lifelong friendships and a strong foundation for a meaningful life.
