About this Retreat
My name is Antonio. I have been on my Hero’s Journey for the past decade. I set out to find my true potential as a Man. I have used my experience with the outdoors as a medium to train my body, my mind , and my heart.
I have been backpacking in the wild, often solo, for 10+ years. These expeditions have allowed me to learn about myself and who I truly am. The time in the wild has extremely confronting moments, When climbing mountains, or trekking for a week in the snow with a 60 pound pack, the emotional journey that comes with the physical test is extreme.
Through this, I was led to unpacking all the emotions and looking for a way to integrate the lessons from the wild into my daily life. I started working with Connor Beaton of ManTalks and Trevor Bird of Inner World. These two Men have extensive experience and knowledge working with the modern masculine. I currently have the opportunity to lead a group of Men in the ManTalks alliance and lead breathwork sessions in Inner World, giving the gifts I have learned from these mentors to other Men. Much of the work I do with Men involves IFS parts work, allowing space for one to interact with their younger parts to better understand current day behavior.
I have found that with the above tools, my expeditions into the wild have become more fulfilling and taking the lessons back to my life has become more powerful. I am bringing these experiences to Men like you.
