A note from Mo:
We have been talking about creating a retreat for men for a few years now. I’ve been creating and hosting retreats since 2017 and the majority of my attendees have been female and/or identify as female. That was not my original intention, to serve primarily women, but I think it naturally took place because that is my primary perspective (well, one of them) in this world.
I also grew up with 3 brothers and have felt the tug to share what I’m learning more intentionally with men. I see a gap in access to healing and I’d like to help provide a bridge. I have met a lot of men in my journey of 44 years thus far on this earth- and have seen a pattern in men feeling a lack of safety to express and share emotions in a healthy manner. Between pressure from society, families, friends and however you were raised to think, believe and act- it takes intention and time to unwind that conditioning and start to live from your true self. I have had the privilege of experiencing more and more peace from the work I’ve done for myself- and I want to help YOU access this same peace.

I am SO excited and thrilled to be co-leading this with my partner, Tom Harrison. In the 5 years that we’ve now known each other- it’s been like creating a version of our own personal video game when it comes to our approach and perspective with healing and growth. We have found a way to provide each other with a safe container, a place where we can share without fear of retribution or harm, and it’s time for us to share what we’re learning with more people.
This retreat will be a combination of what I usually provide my attendees and what Tom sees and understands is a need from the male perspective. It will be an adventure.
A healing experience.
An opportunity to claim your true self and relax into that space.
You will meet new friends, forge new habits and leave with new tools that you can utilize DAILY.
Take the leap and experience something new!
I can’t WAIT to meet you.

A note from Tom:
It is time for me to finally share one of my secrets. At the age of 3 months, I turned blue in my mother’s arms. Chronic asthma was supposed to confine me to a small, isolated, and restricted life, its only abundance being its supply of medication. Instead, with my parent’s help and by embracing the life of a competitive swimmer, I broke free of my body’s prison. In the process, I turned the years of restriction and solitude into a superpower– the ability to focus inward and connect with my own body.  Still, I have struggled as an adult, through career crises, surviving a near death-experience, finding purpose, and healing from the trauma of a difficult and sometimes abusive upbringing. I credit my use of this superpower and unlocking its amazing healing and feeling abilities, with the clarity, access to joy, and connection that I experience today.

I’m eager to make room for us all on the road. This road isn't walked, it’s built. It has no destination, but it has a lot of rest stops and scenic overlooks along the way. The road can never be traveled alone. The road’s name is happiness.

Many of my best decisions– starting a high school swim team without a coach or even a pool, becoming a radio DJ, starting my first novel, attending a writer’s retreat, seeking therapy, joining the yoga/tai chi center, seeking therapy again, and seeking therapy again– were because I was either fed up with the pain I was feeling or I was open to having MORE in my life.
If you regularly feel either of those feelings, then this men’s retreat is for you.
