After all, we\u2019ll assume that if you\u2019re planning a men\u2019s retreat, you want to focus on the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of your attendees, as well as perhaps even address some gender stereotypes along the way.

One wonderful example is this Gesner cocoon with secluded amazing mountain views in Malibu, CA<\/a>. This incredibly peaceful venue can provide your men’s retreat with an aerodynamic cocoon venue designed by Harry Gesner and inspired by the Sydney Opera House.

This is just one example of the type of amazing spaces you can find on Peerspace to bring your events to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Attract (or invite) the right participants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re planning a public retreat, it\u2019s a good idea to be clear about the goals of your retreat. The same goes or even if you\u2019re inviting guests from your workplace or social group. Different men will want different things from a men\u2019s retreat \u2014 and your female colleagues may have opinions on it, too. The term \u201cmen\u2019s retreat\u201d can be used to refer to a spiritual or faith-based retreat, while a \u201cmen\u2019s circle\u201d or \u201cmasculinity retreat\u201d usually refers to a secular one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, it\u2019s important that your event doesn\u2019t come across as an exclusive \u201cboy\u2019s club\u201d. Rather, you want it to use the supportive nature of a men-only space to help men grow. Look for ways that you can include men who may be left out of other men\u2019s spaces, such as gay, bi, and queer men, trans men, and men of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Get outside to reconnect with nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it isn\u2019t a requirement that your retreat takes place in a remote location, there\u2019s something about being in nature that encourages reflection and connection. Invite your attendees to slow down, put their phones away, and connect with their authentic selves outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you lead a group hike, gather around a campfire, or meditate together, spending time outside can help set the tone of your retreat and make it easier to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
