About the event
Solitude
It is rare in this day and age to experience true solitude. There seems to always be something that is trying to grab for our attention. Whether it is our phone, professional pursuits or the demands of life itself. The Solitude experience has been created specifically to give the participant the opportunity to drop into nature in such a way that will provide and opportunity to leave the day to day experience behind. It is through this seclusion that will give oneself the opportunity to explore their inner self. In this rare secluded state, profound insights and wisdoms are sure transform the participant.
Brotherhood
We will get to experience this journey as a collective unit comprised of men. The unit will provide a safe and loving environment that will provide each participant the support needed to push one's own mental + physical + spiritual parameters. The results will be a camaraderie and connection that will not only enhance the individual experience, but raise the vibration of all men. ♥️
Preperation
There will be ample time to prepare for this journey. It will be imperative for the safety of the participant and the group that each human arrives as prepared as possible. Some of that preparation could include; having all items compiled on the checklist, extended amounts of fitness and physical training, clean diets, mental centering, taking a break from unhealthy habits etc. More to come on ths.
