The Embodied Man Retreat

May 22-25, 2025 | Rocklyn, Ontario

ABOUT

Step away. Step in. See what happens.

Most men don’t take time for themselves. Not because they don’t want to, but because they’re too deep in the day-to-day to even consider it.

But at some point, every man reaches a moment where he asks: What’s next?

This retreat is for the men who refuse to settle for a life that just “happens” to them. It’s for those who are ready to step away from the noise, push their edge, and see what’s possible when they’re fully present.

This is not a workshop. It’s not a seminar. There are no name tags, lectures, or forced group shares.

It’s an experience. A reset. A challenge. A space where you get to test yourself, sharpen your instincts, and walk away with something you can’t quite name—but will feel long after you leave.

If you’d like to book a call to discuss the retreat PRIOR to booking, we are happy to do that, please email danfotopoulos@outlook.com directly.

DETAILS

  • We don’t over-explain this retreat for a reason.

    You’ll move, breathe, push, and sit in stillness. You’ll experience things that pull you into full presence, leaving no room for overthinking or avoidance. The rest? You’ll find out when you get here.

    What we can tell you is this:

    • There will be physical challenges that demand full focus

    • There will be fire, ice, movement, and breathwork that test how you handle pressure

    • There will be long stretches of silence and deep conversation

    • There will be moments that catch you off guard, shift your perspective, and sharpen your awareness

    You don’t need to come with expectations. Just show up. The rest will take care of itself.

  • We believe every man should have access to this work. That’s why we offer a sliding scale pricing model:

    • $750 – Supported Rate (for those who need financial assistance)

    • $1,000 – True Cost (covers all expenses)

    • $1,250 – Supporter Rate (helps fund scholarships for others)

    This retreat is limited to 16 men. If you feel called, do not wait.
