“The time on the water helped me be more mindful and reinforced the positive energy in the group sessions. Truly a great experience and a special group of men.”

Retreat FAQs

We offer multiple options for you to contribute to this community financially – when you register, simply choose the amount that works for you. All participants receive the same incredible experience regardless of the option they choose.
Not at all. Many men who come to our retreats have little to no fishing background. Our volunteers will teach you everything you need to know. We even provide all the gear if you do not have your own. 
Sharing is always optional. We create space for honest conversation, but no one is ever pressured to say or do anything they’re not ready for. Many men find themselves opening up naturally as the weekend unfolds, but you’ll always be respected for where you’re at.
Lodging, meals, fishing gear (if you need it), fishing instruction, and group activities. You just need to bring clothes, toiletries, and a willingness to be present. We include a packing list when you sign up.
Yes. In fact, most men come on their own. Within hours, you’ll find yourself connecting with others who understand and support you. The friendships formed at retreats often last long after the weekend ends.
We host retreats in beautiful natural settings across the country—often near rivers, mountains, or lakes that create the perfect backdrop for fishing and connection. Each retreat page includes details about location, accommodations, and travel logistics.
