Four days.
The coast.
Real work.
This is our longest container of the year. Long enough to stop performing and start arriving.
What we hold
The coast strips away pretense. Over four days we give the work room to breathe: time in circle, time in the body, time in ceremony, and long stretches of time in one of the most clarifying landscapes there is.
Council
Circle work and men's council. Speaking once, being heard once.
Body
Somatic and IFS-based sessions. Meeting the parts that run the show.
Ceremony
Fire, tide, and time on the land. Structure without performance.
Integration
Practices you carry home, and a circle that keeps holding after Sunday.
The four days
Pacific City, under Cape Kiwanda. A private house, shared rooms, shared meals, one fire. Directions, what to bring, and a short prep practice arrive by email the week before. Bring your surfboard — or a way to play in the water.
Facilitators
Tim Moore
Twenty-eight years in the room with men who looked fine and weren't. Not a coach and not a guru. A clinician, and an elder still in training himself.
Lucas Carvalho
Trilingual in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Musician and student of indigenous traditions. Ancestral wisdom and practical tools, rooted in nature's guidance and community.
Erik Flaten
Years of walking with men and families through hard passages, including addiction and recovery. Curiosity, collaboration, and nature as a co-facilitator in the healing process.
$1,500 – $3,000, sliding scale.
You choose where you land. Pay what's true for your situation, and know that the men who can pay at the top make room for the men who can't. Lodging, all meals, and everything we do together are included. Half on confirmation, balance by October 1.
If the number is the only thing between you and this retreat, reach out anyway. We'll work it out. Money doesn't decide who belongs in this circle.
This retreat is small and readiness-based.
If you're here, we've already talked or we're about to. Fill out the form and Tim will be in touch to confirm your place in the circle.
