The Pineal Path

Sacred Men's Retreat

Location:  7 Bluff Cabins - Concan, Texas (Frio River Canyon)

Investment:  $1,500 to $2,000

What this retreat is about

 
 
The Pineal Path is a 4-day, all inclusive & immersive reset for men ready to step out of old loops and into leadership of self. We blend grounded psychology, somatic practice, and spiritual technology to help you clear fear, shame, and judgment, heal inner fractures, set unshakable boundaries, and re-pattern your nervous system so you can move through the world with calm power.
 

You’ll work inside our Holistic 8™ Alignment - Higher Self, Shadow, Inner Child, Ego, Body, Mind + Masculine & Feminine - a complete map for realignment that you’ll keep using long after you go home. Expect a brotherhood you can trust, practices that actually stick, and a weekend that feels like a rite of passage. We will also host a private, Facebook Group, support following the close of our wellness retreat.

Who it’s for

  • Men who feel stuck, looping, or burned out, and want a reset that goes beyond “motivation.”

  • Men navigating addiction patterns (of any kind) who want compassionate, practical tools for change.

  • Fathers, founders, creatives, and leaders seeking clear boundaries, emotional mastery, and deeper presence.

  • Men new to inner work and seasoned practitioners alike - the container meets you where you are.

Group size is intentionally limited for 12 people to preserve safety, depth, and personal coaching.

           Release emotional weight, outdated identities, and the stories that kept them looping.

  3) Tools to Regulate Their Nervous System

            Breathwork + somatic grounding to stay calm under pressure and shift out of overwhelm quickly.

            Not necessarily every answer in life - but a rooted sense of direction, what matters, and what must     

            change next.

  5) Embodied Masculine Confidence

            Not performance-based confidence… but grounded presence, purpose, and backbone.

  6) A Reconnected Relationship with Their Body

            Feeling again. Listening again. Moving from intuition rather than numbness.

  7) A Brother Network They Can Count On
