kinhood retreats

this retreat is for male identifying and/or male socialized people. it is for those who want deeper, more meaningful connection and relationship, those who are questioning their conditioned ideas, behaviors and responses, those unpacking harm, and those exploring their identity.

this retreat is for you, and you will get from it what you most desire and need. each of us comes with different questions, challenges, and hopes, and by building a container of trust and connection together, we will explore what it means to walk through the world as a man, how it impacts us, how we impact others, and how we wish to be.

we practice embodied movement, nature connection, open-hearted discussion, and emotional processing. you will have an opportunity to celebrate and to grieve, and to be seen in whatever parts of yourself you are bringing.

our in person retreats begin on thursday evenings and end sunday midday.

we begin our all of our days with movement options before going into discussion and embodiment activities. friday night we have a special ceremony and dinner that will support setting up our release and reclamation experience saturday, and on saturday night we celebrate in reclamation together. we support individuals to be in the arc of their own experience throughout the weekend. sunday we will close our container and prepare for integration and our return home.

through the kinhood online network your retreat cohort will meet together twice in the two weeks before the retreat and once in the week following. these online gatherings will support you in preparation for and integration of our time together. you will also have access to one full month of network offerings with your retreat registration.

your registration includes all meals and food during the retreat. we see nourishing food as essential to our self care and sustenance during retreats, and work diligently to make sure we have skilled chefs and the highest quality ingredients to support our wellness. we serve a mostly plant based menu and encourage participants to bring any special foods they might need for dietary reasons.

camping on the land is the standard accommodation for retreats. if you are not able to bring camping equipment, we can help you in sourcing materials from community members. we have limited indoor sleeping accommodations for those who need it.

bring clothes for a variety of weather in a coastal ecosystem. we will make a trip to the ocean if weather allows and it can be quite cold in the evenings and mornings even in the summer months. also bring festive clothes that make you feel beautiful for friday night, and some fun clothes or accessories for saturday night.

bring the essentials such as water bottle and headlamp, and anything that supports you in your regular practices such as a yoga mat and journal.

our pricing is designed to be as accessible as possible while also allowing us to pay a fair wage to our organizers, facilitators, chefs and facility hosts. we ask that you please pay what you are able to so that we may continue to create access for as many people as possible. we utilize a tiered pricing system in order to reduce barriers of access due to cost, and to allow those who are able to pay more and support our ability to offer reduced rates. we have two price tiers available:

standard rate - $750 - please consider this option if you make between $35,000 and $65,000 in annual income OR have access to intergenerational wealth OR comfortably meet your basic needs.

sustainer rate - $950 - please consider this option if you make $65,000 or more in annual income OR have access to substantial intergenerational wealth OR own your home or vehicle and travel regularly.

nobody will ever be turned away for lack of funds. the most meaningful contribution you can make is your presence. we offer work trade opportunities and scholarships, so please contact us to set up individual rates as needed.
