“Activate in Brotherhood is an #ALLIN immersion experience that every 21st Century Man should make time to attend personally. Each leader is extremely well-versed in effective communication, listening, and empathy. Each activity is tailored towards individual maximum benefit. Each speech is perfectly chosen with assurance that our voice matters. From pre-interviews to post follow-up, every person felt direct attention and love from each other. To know that SUCH care & consideration was utilized so wonderfully at their very first Retreat assures me that future Events are going to only be even better. Take this journey and you will be so glad that you did.” - Andrew “I was very hesitant to try this out. I didn’t know what to expect and had never been to a retreat before. Luckily, I knew a few of the organizers, so I trusted them and applied. What an experience this was. It was the perfect balance of activities across the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. The group of men that attended was perfectly balanced—almost as if orchestrated. The location was beautiful. From arrival to departure, everything was perfectly executed. I found a buried side of myself and felt a sense of ease towards the end, ready to step into my challenges. I also made friends with the local community, which is unique to this program. Ultimately, this was a very positive experience, and if all events are these carefully organized, I would attend a second one in a heartbeat.” -2024 Attendee “The weekend was about as well organized and run as anything like this I have ever participated in. From the moment I drove up to the site on Friday afternoon until the moment I pulled out yesterday, the entire 48 hours were extraordinarily well-planned and led by you all. It is very clear the amount of work put into this experience for the 12 men fortunate to have been chosen. Every detail, every exercise, every movement, every meal, every interaction were executed perfectly. I also thought the order of things we did was very well designed. As I replayed the weekend in my head, these thoughts emerged. I will forever be a testimonial resource for you to use to speak to other men considering attending future events. You should each feel an enormous amount of pride in what you did together this weekend and for the first time. Really remarkable. If we were in the Navy, I’d order the flags hoisted to send this message.” - Todd “Activate In Brotherhood is more than just a retreat. It is an experience. I highly recommend it to any man who is focused on overall improvement of mind, body, and spirit. The food is great! The activities are challenging, but totally doable, and the interpersonal connections made were well beyond my expectations." -Rhett “This weekend was an opportunity to be part of something bigger, to trust other men and be trusted with what is in our hearts. I started the weekend with eleven strangers and finished with eleven brothers. Thank you to Activate in Brotherhood for creating that space." -Erick “This was my first experience at a men's retreat and it was a powerful entry into the work! I came with an excruciating dilemma stemming from lack of inner clarity, guilt, and unacknowledged grief. The retreat allowed me to get clear, overcome my guilt, and process my grief in a way that I left with peace and clarity about what to do moving forward.” -Eze "It has been 4 months since participating in the Activate in Brotherhood retreat. No exaggeration - I think it may have been one of the most important experiences of my life. Truthfully. There’s me before the retreat, and then there’s me after the retreat. It’s not to say that in just a couple of days, my life went from terrible to terrific. It’s not to say that I was reborn in just a moment. No. But, my eyes were opened. My heart opened, cried, and embraced. Hope and optimism sprouted. I left wanting more out of life instead of just hoping to get by in life. The retreat and all that came with it was the medicine I needed. It helped me to connect with ALL of me - the good and the parts I’ve held back or concealed. It gave me a taste of what I want in life and what has been missing. It helped me to confront pain that had been holding me back throughout my whole life. It helped me to further heal mental/emotional wounds accumulated over my 34 years of living. It helped me to feel what a positive, supportive, caring community of men could be like. I have tried, but I cannot possibly say enough about how much I benefitted from participating in this retreat. I am incredibly grateful to the wonderful men who facilitated this retreat. You all are real-life superheroes." -Drew
