About this Event

Not Your Daddy’s New Year’s Resolution.


The New Year often brings resolutions that fizzle out—hitting the gym for two weeks, swearing off bad habits, or trying to “do better” without knowing what’s really holding us back.

This retreat isn’t that. This is real healing—a day to unlock stored emotions, reset your nervous system, and gain practical tools that go far beyond superficial changes. If you’re craving lasting transformation for 2025, this retreat will give you the skills to step into the new year with clarity, emotional resilience, and embodied presence.



What You’ll Experience

Somatic Practices & Nervous System Reset: Learn to feel at home in your body again, releasing stress and stored patterns that keep you stuck. This isn’t about “fixing” yourself but about rediscovering the parts of you that have always been whole.

Emotional Regulation & Grounding Techniques: We’ll explore practical, science-backed methods to help you manage overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout—so you can move through life with more ease and confidence. These are tools you’ll actually use.

Brotherhood & Connection: Spend the day with other gay men who, like you, are seeking deeper connections and more meaning. No performing. No posturing. Just real, heart-centered connection with others who get it.



Why This Retreat?

The New Year isn’t just about doing things differently—it’s about being different. This retreat offers you the space to slow down, release the tension you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with yourself. Gay men often experience unique pressures—from societal expectations to the need to perform or fit in—and this retreat is designed to help you let go of those burdens and build a more expansive, aligned life.



Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for gay men who:

  • Feel stuck in overwhelm, burnout, or emotional exhaustion.
  • Are ready for deeper, more meaningful connections with others.
  • Want to create lasting change that goes beyond surface-level resolutions.
  • Are tired of the pressure to “do more” and instead want to learn how to be present.


No prior experience with somatic work is required—just an open heart and a willingness to show up for yourself.



What You’ll Leave With
  • A sense of renewal—calmer, clearer, and more grounded in yourself.
  • Practical tools to manage emotions and calm your nervous system.
  • A day’s worth of meaningful connection with other gay men.
  • Skills to elevate your relationships, career, and personal life in the New Year and beyond.



Start the Year Aligned and Empowered.

This isn’t just a one-day escape—it’s a launchpad for a more intentional, embodied way of living. If you’re done with empty resolutions and ready for real change, claim your spot today. Limited spaces are available to keep the experience intimate and impactful.


Reconnect. Restore. Elevate.
