“The (Alchemy of Men) retreat helped me identify and overcome barriers that hindered my communication skills. I learned how to address obstacles and became a better communicator, not only in business but also in my relationships with my daughter and fiance. The feedback sessions were significant for me. I received valuable insights into how I presented myself and the impression I create. (As Marine Veteran, and Owner of a Plumbing Company) I understand the struggles many men face. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to those seeking personal growth and improved relationships. It's a worthwhile investment that can make a significant difference in your life. To any man unsure about investing in this retreat, I encourage you to put aside cost and other commitments. Investing in yourself and your relationships is invaluable. Take the risk.”

“This was my second retreat, and I'm already looking forward to the third. The work we do here is an essential part of who I am and what I want to bring to the world. The exercises, the men, and the trust built at the retreat create a unique and invaluable environment that I don't find elsewhere in my life. Two significant takeaways from this year's retreat stand out. I learned that I can be unapologetically myself without the need for censorship or apologies. We all have something to offer and learn from each other, and the love and care we provide one another are often absent in the traditional masculine world. Nurturing, a word typically associated with femininity, is actually deeply masculine and essential for stoking the fires of our humanness. Secondly, the retreat helped me clarify my direction and shed confusion. While I have various interests and projects, they often felt scattered. Through stripping away the stories and judgments, I gained clarity on what truly matters. In my professional life, I'm taking away valuable insights on leading teams and making subtle yet powerful shifts in my approach that will be immediately applicable when I interact with the people I manage. Regarding my relationships, the retreat taught me the importance of releasing burdensome energy that doesn't serve any purpose. By letting go, I feel freer, lighter, and more capable of embracing my wife, family, and the upcoming addition to our family.”

Best part was when we would sit down at the table as a unit and have conversations with each other. The feeling of a family, feeling that yes, I’m in the middle of nowhere, but I’m safe with my brothers. It was extremely deep. The intentional fire meeting every night was great because not only we had no idea what to expect, but just that every night it was something that we had to dig deep into, and not one workshop was the same.

“Returning for a second retreat allowed for even deeper growth, witnessing positive changes in others. Living in a city can be overwhelming, but the retreat offers a refreshing break and personal introspection. Don't hesitate to attend; it's a transformative experience with nourishing food and a supportive community. The facilitators, Alex and Bob, demonstrated patience, grace, and genuine care. The Alchemy of Men Retreat has had a profound impact on my life. It offers personal growth, deep connections, and a break from the daily hustle. I wholeheartedly recommend it."

“I learned tools to connect deeply with clients, especially busy men like me. The retreat also emphasized the importance of better communication with my wife after 27 years of marriage. It allowed me to open up, be vulnerable, and engage in meaningful conversations. This will help me fearlessly connect with others, including my son. Initially seeking a community of men, the retreat exceeded my expectations. It prompted self-reflection and inspired me. I recommend this transformative retreat to any man, regardless of their situation. The power of a supportive community, self-confrontation, and deep connections is invaluable.”

“The Alchemy of Men Retreat exceeded my expectations! I recommend this retreat to high-level professionals, as it uncovers fears and resistance, leading to better leadership and understanding of oneself and others. This conversation about masculinity is really the thing that's going to have them be able to see what's behind their fears, behind their resistance. It directly correlates to what will make them better leaders, especially in hierarchical organizations from positions of extensive power and recognition. To those contemplating attending the retreat, I can't fully express the volume of value and deep self-understanding I gained. The real conversations had in a responsible and transformative manner exceeded my expectations.”

“Attending the retreat for the second time was an easy decision, driven by the desire for personal and professional growth. It provided a safe space for vulnerability, risk-taking, and authentic connections with other men. The retreat taught me to embrace imperfection, take more risks, and let go of worries. This mindset shift has brought positive changes to both my personal and professional life. To all men considering the retreat, don't hesitate. Take the leap and invest in yourself. The Alchemy of Men Retreat offers a life-changing experience that will positively impact your present and future."

“The Alchemy of Men Retreat was a chance to gain new perspectives and find space for the unknown. I got a family, a brotherhood, and a resource to navigate challenges in my life. The impact on my career is finding balance and giving myself opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise. It's about leadership. If a man is struggling with opening up or needs space to do so, this retreat offers the support and guidance needed. To other men, I encourage you to commit to this opportunity for personal and collective growth. It can be incredibly valuable for yourself and others."

"I came to the retreat seeking to address life satisfaction issues and explore my relationships. And what I got from the retreat was a profound realization that we're all going through similar challenges as men. In my relationship, I discovered the power of vulnerability and being the first to open up. This had a positive impact on my marriage, even from the distance of the retreat. My favorite part of the retreat was the sense of community and togetherness, which is often lacking in daily life. This was a transformative experience and I'm grateful for making the commitment to attend the retreat. Despite the challenges that came my way, it all made sense in the end."

“I attended the Alchemy of Men Retreat for the second time because of its impact on my life. I gained more confidence in being vulnerable and embraced it as a part of who I am. This retreat has made a difference in my life by showing me the possibility of deeper relationships with men and romantic partners. In my career, the retreat has made me more courageous. I lead without fear, and my openness and vulnerability have inspired others around me. To the men who may be unsure about attending, I encourage you to say yes and give it a try. You won't know the transformative opportunities that await unless you take that step. Just say yes and discover the rest later."

I came in with a bit of I probably know what's gonna happen and got slapped in the face (in a great way). Alex and Bob hold you to the highest level of potential, whether it’s about your relationship with yourself, your family, or your business.
