Who
Men of action. Inspirational men. Men that show up for their family, friends and community. Men that want to be their best selves. Men that aren’t afraid to do the work and that don’t run away from a challenge.
What
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs will be this years topic. Most of us have beliefs about ourselves, others, and life that hold us back and prevent us from being the men that we were created to be. It subconsciously sabotages our careers, finances and relationships robbing us of the joy that is our birthright. This year we will learn a systematic approach to uncovering these beliefs and removing them from our subconscious minds forever!
Not only are the exercises we will do powerful in and of themselves, doing this while connecting with other men dedicated towards growth and service is truly Awesomeness! Free from the responsibilities of work and family, this is an opportunity for rejuvenation, inspiration, and a time to connect in a meaningful way to other men. Although man doesn’t live by bread alone, we are going to eat well. On this retreat all food both physical and otherwise will be provided. Everything is taken care of…just show up and feel your shoulders drop.

Testimonials From Participants
“I haven’t experienced anything quite like that weekend, well, ever. It was intense, rewarding, and it showed me what happens when people are truly vulnerable with each other. It was a beautiful thing.”
“I push myself to be more successful in work, family, and health. But I seldom find ways to challenge and inspire my heart and spirit that is the center of it all. That is what the weekend is all about.”
“COA was a rare experience in American culture. Within the first hour, a level of vulnerability was reached that is seldom experienced in any other facet of life. I felt welcomed and invited to be myself with no pretense. It was healing.”

“While the retreats’ interactions certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone they also seemed to open a door to a more human experience…a break from my constant cerebral focus. I still draw on the insight, perspective and conversations born from that weekend.”
