SUMMARY:Men's Retreat: The Grounded Man\,  September 25-27\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Under the aspens\, we get real.\n  \nA fall men’s intensive for men who want to stop drifting and build a life with strength\, heart\, and accountability. \nThere is a lot of men’s work out there\, and a lot of it creates heat without creating change. \nThis weekend is built for something else: grounded men. Men who can tell the truth\, take feedback\, build real strength\, and bring more heart to the places that matter most. \n  \n \nMen who are ready to stop wasting time\, who: \nAre successful at work but struggle at home and in community \nChecked boxes they were “supposed to” but are not fully alive \nWant more access to their power without becoming rigid\, performative\, or angry \nWant more heart without collapsing\, self-erasing\, or losing their spine \nAre ready to get honest about where they are stuck and do something about it \nIf you are done drifting\, done hiding\, and done pretending you will "figure it out later\," join us. \nThis is for men who are willing to be challenged. \nMen who want clarity\, embodiment\, accountability\, and real practice. Men who want a stronger life\, not just a “powerful” weekend. \nThis is not therapy\, nor … \nA "safe space" (it’s safe enough to be unsafe) \nFor men who want to apologize for being men \nFor men who want to hide in abstraction\, debate\, or excuses \nThis is for men who are willing to tell the truth\, take feedback\, and practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat Happens Here\nWe work directly on the places men get stuck most: sex\, money\, connection\, self-respect\, and follow-through. \nWe do it through group work\, partner work\, embodiment practices\, hot-seat coaching\, shadow work\, and fierce accountability. \nThis is practical\, direct work designed to move your life\, not just have a “powerful weekend.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProblems We Address \nDigital distraction taking away from presence \nOverwhelm of world events \nCollapse in the face of the critical feminine \nLack of purpose \nHow We Address Them:  \nPresence — what it is\, how it’s done \nFocus on impacting the world through what you most care about \nThe ability to be honest with what is without collapse \nThe opportunity to be seen in the parts we don’t let others see with an acknowledgement that we are all human. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Walk Away With\nYou leave with sharper clarity about where you are drifting\, direct feedback on what is costing you\, practices you can use under pressure\, stronger self-trust\, a clearer standard for how you live as a man\, and real contact with other men\, not just surface connection. Most men do not need more information. They need stronger practice\, better mirrors\, and a room that does not let them hide. This weekend is built for that. \nSpecifics \nWe are not interested in intensity for its own sake. We are interested in change that holds up when you go home. \nThat means work you can actually use when your: \nmarriage is strained \nmoney story is running you \ntemper is close to the surface\, or \nnever there at all \ndiscipline slips \nphone becomes your escape \nwork success stops feeling like a life \nWe work on grounded strength\, honest self-confrontation\, embodied presence\, and the ability to stay open under pressure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nThis will be led by experienced men’s work facilitators Jeffrey James Howard\, Marco Lam\, Keith Martin-Smith\, and Eddie Konold. \nMarco brings heart and life\, open curiosity\, and joy.\nJeffrey offers cutting clarity and accountability.\nEddie delivers everyday-man sensibility\, a wide-open heart\, and grounded intelligence.\nKeith brings direct challenge\, deep insight\, and a no-bullshit path to strength with heart. \nJeffrey and Eddie are licensed psychotherapists. Marco is an acupuncturist\, permaculture expert\, martial artist\, and community leader. Keith is an ordained Zen priest\, published author\, and martial arts lineage holder\, and Marco and Keith have been in the same men’s group\, with the same group of men\, for nearly 20 years. \n“Keith had a strong presence\, physically and spiritually with meditation and embodiment exercises. Eddie was love and gentleness\, killing it with kindness and active\, warm\, soft reflective listening and precise at picking up relational material to give back and act on. Marco was mindful\, honest\, and more of a quiet/wise leader and organizer. Jeffrey was an excellent facilitator\, listener\, and therapist\, coming in with challenges that quickly closed in on the issues at hand\, using a knife to sharpen his teeth and go in for the kill. \nWatch out! They all worked very well together\, cohesive\, displayed confidence and therefore trust and a letting go into the work and the group. The container was beautiful and held tighter as the retreat came to a close. I would participate again. I would recommend this to any man wanting more from his relationships.”  \n— GA\, Spring 2022 \n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday  \n6-7:15 - Council \n7:30-8:30 pm Dinner at Elkstone Farm \n8:30- 9:10 pm Fire circle: Turn up the heat \n9:10 Close for the night \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:45-10:15- Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:15-1200 Content/circle/teaching \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-5- Extended break/wander/practice period \n5-6:30- Content/circle/teaching \n6:30-7:30- Dinner \n7:30-8:45- Closing circle for the day \n8:45-9 — Warrior’s rest/Meditation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday  \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:40-10:00 Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:00-11:30- Content/circle/teaching \n11:30-11:45- Break \n11:45-12:00- Physical/embodiment exercise \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-3:45 Break \n3:45 - 4:20 Circle/teaching \n4:20 - 4:30 Break \n4:30-5:00 - Bringing it home \nLodging\nThere are two options for lodging for this event. \nCamping\, either in a tent or your camper van.
