About this event

  • 2 days

Every biking enthusiast knows that it's not the bike or the track - it's the BIKER that separates winners from LEGENDs. The true biker has ignited an inner revolution, a fire so intense that it burns away lethargy and comfort. They have become ONE with their INNER rider - a stable entropy of focus and resilience.

Join legendary Motocross biker Ryan Hughes and world renowned monk Vedaji at their first ever, one-of-a-kind, retreat at Palomar Mountain between 28-30 June, 2024 to recharge the batteries of your INNER rider. Ryan brings his 2+ decades of experience with Motocross biking to empower you with rare insights on physical fitness and mental preparedness. Vedaji brings his 40+ years of monkhood, and experience mentoring 2k+ students in 15 countries, to help develop the habits of discipline through the cultivation of a soul-nourishing relationship with your inner rider.

Being a part of this retreat is not about vacationing in the scenic California desert. It is not about getting selfies with 2 celebrities. And it is definitely not about eating up your problems for a weekend with gourmet food.

You are choosing massive internal transformation. You are choosing to be intentional about spending time with your inner soldier in an elite army that bleeds resilience. You are participating in soul charging meditations, soul energizing revelation circles and soul pumping ice baths not because it is fun. You are running up mountains, doing yoga, observing water fasts and journaling 20 pages a day, not so that your Facebook & Instagram friends get impressed. You are ready to walk through the excruciatingly painful fire of austerity to redefine the mundane and shatter your limits.

Together, we're not just breaking the mold. We are making a collective battle cry, waging war on the conceptions of poor lifestyle choices. If you've had enough of constant doctor visits, pathetic jobs just to make ends meet, fear of hurting yourself from hard challenges and dead relationships that don't motivate you to get out of bed, then it's time for you to elevate your game. Because the world deserves a hero - and your calling is to be one.

Dare to Be Different. Dare to Be You. Dare to Join Us this May.
