Harder to Kill, Easier to Love Retreat
Many fathers are drowning. Work. Bills. EMail. Phone. Family. Always on. Always “responsible.”
And the whole time—you’re running on fumes. Short with your kids. Distracted with your wife. Disconnected from yourself.
This retreat? It’s the reset button.
DETAILS:
For 3 days, you’ll ditch the phone, leave the noise behind, and step into something real:
Journaling that forces honesty. (mostly with yourself)
Forging, wayfinding, cooking over an open flame. A few manly things to wake you up.
Sleeping under the stars.
Learn to feel a bit. (don’t worry, it won’t be too woo woo)
Guided and contained Physical and Mental Stress to help you feel more capable.
Fire, sauna, cold plunge — the good stuff.
Eat Amazing food
Why It Matters
Your kids don’t need a zombie dad.
Your wife doesn’t need a half-there husband.
you don’t need another “self-help hack.”
You need space. Brotherhood. Stillness. Challenge.
That’s what this is.
Who It’s For
This is for fathers who:
Feel buried by responsibility.
Want to unplug and remember who the hell they are.
Want to show up stronger, calmer, more present at home.
What You’ll Leave With
A clear vision of the man you want to be.
Strength in your body and clarity in your mind.
Brothers who have your back.
Energy and presence, your family will feel the moment you walk in the door.
Spots are limited to 8 per retreat.
This is not a vacation. It’s not a workshop. It’s a hard reset for fathers who give a damn
Testimonials
“This was a life-changing experience. I went to this retreat feeling burnt out and broken. I was physically and emotionally drained. While staying at the Pat Barber resort in the California mountains I met some of the best like-minded people who I now consider family.
The adventures and conversations helped me rekindle my purpose. I now feel like a much happier and optimistic person and looking forward to
helping as many people as possible. I should also add that the peaceful environment and the amazing food was a huge bonus.”
“This retreat was everything I didn’t know I needed. It was a powerful reset. It reconnected me with nature, community, purpose, with myself, and provided simplicity, depth, and real presence. It brought back clarity, confidence, and drive.
If you’re a parent, or just a human trying to live with more intention, don’t overthink it. Get yourself into this space. It’s not a luxury. It’s what we need. ”
“The true test of the effectiveness of your retreat...what does my screen time look like almost 5 weeks later? This is pretty much how it looks every week...no social media, no phone in bed or in the bathroom, phone charging across the room.
Your retreat helped me kick off some great lasting changes. Thanks again!”
