A few days away.
A reset that lasts.
Men's wellness retreats
8 to 12 men in a private home on the Southern California coast, at Lake Tahoe, in Colorado or in Utah. A few days of workshops, outdoor challenges, sauna and cold plunge, and honest conversation with men dealing with the same things you are.
Each retreat uses the same framework as the coaching programs, packed into a few days. Being away from your routine, around other men, makes some things click faster than they would on your own.
A lot of retreats run on motivation, and the high is gone by Tuesday.
These are built differently. Joey is a licensed therapist, the workshops draw on stress physiology research, and a partner physician reviews every man’s bloodwork. You go home with a plan you can measure and a follow-up schedule.
Groups stay small on purpose. With 8 to 12 men, everyone gets real time with Joey and the team, and nobody sits in the back.

Questions
Questions about the retreats
Who are the retreats for?
Men who want a reset they can't get from another week at home: high performers dealing with burnout, poor sleep or stress that won't let go. Groups are 8 to 12 men, so everyone gets direct time with Joey and the team.
Where are the retreats held?
In private homes on the Southern California coast, at Lake Tahoe, in Colorado and in Utah. Each home has room for the full group, recovery space, outdoor access and shared meals.
What happens before I arrive?
You complete bloodwork, an intake questionnaire and a call with the team. A partner physician reviews your labs, your goals are written down, and you're paired with a mentor. You show up ready to work.
What happens after I go home?
Within 48 hours you get an integration worksheet. Within a week you have a follow-up call with Joey. At four to six weeks you retest your labs with your physician to see what changed, and you join the alumni community.
Should I do a retreat or a coaching program?
A retreat compresses the work into a few immersive days with a small group. Coaching spreads it over 6 or 12 weeks with daily check-ins. You can do both, and moving from one to the other is easy. The free call is the quickest way to figure out which to start with.
