Gathering Site​
​
Nestled among whispering trees on a healing property surrounded by Cibola National Forest, our retreat lodge invites you to let go of screens, schedules, and the daily hum.
 
Here, the air carries the scent of juniper and earth, and each breath reconnects you to the rhythms of the wild.
 
This is space to unwind physically, emotionally, and spiritually—surrounded by men who, like you, are ready to reclaim their lives with clarity and grace.
 
Step onto the porch at dawn to witness mountain light filtering through the forest. Stay warm by the hearth as dusk deepens under a sky full of stars. In this gentle, grounding sanctuary, you’ll feel the forest breathing with you—and your own heart exhaling into peace.​
