This retreat is a sacred space for men to reconnect—to themselves, to each other, and to what matters most. It’s an invitation to slow down, drop into your body, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive, present, and rooted. Through deep somatic, shamanic, and embodiment practices, we come together to remember the fire at the center of our lives.

While prior personal or spiritual development is helpful, the deeper requirement is a willingness to show up authentically and participate fully. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or returning after time away, if you feel the call to reconnect, this space is for you.

Each day includes a rhythm of grounding practices, movement, breath, somatic ritual, and shamanic explorations—balanced with shared meals, time in nature, and moments of reflection. We co-create a ceremonial container where depth, joy, and brotherhood are all welcome.

Firekeepers is not a workshop or lecture-based event. It’s a living, breathing ceremonial experience. Everything—from the food to the rituals to the land itself—is curated to help you return home to yourself. We gather not to fix anything, but to remember what’s already whole and holy within us.

Yes. After registration, you’ll receive a welcome packet with guidance to support your arrival, including intention-setting practices and a suggested packing list. The more presence you bring in advance, the deeper the experience can unfold.

No. While the container is shamanic in nature, we do not use plant medicines. The practices are embodied, breath-based, and rooted in ancient lineages of inner work, allowing for profound altered states and insight without external substances.

The Firekeepers Men’s Retreat unfolds over 4 days and 3 nights in Sheffield, Massachusetts, nestled on a peaceful 73‑acre estate in the Southern Berkshires. This sacred land offers rolling meadows, forested trails, a serene pond and vistas—an ideal setting for deep connection and shamanic embodiment. Accommodations range from private to shared rooms, each offering comfort like A/C, Wi‑Fi, and communal lounging areas, with optional sauna, pool, and nature‑immersion amenities to support your personal integration and rest .

Your registration includes three nights of lodging, all guided practices and ceremonies, and delicious, nourishing meals prepared with care. The food is part of the medicine—shared communally, enjoyed slowly, and meant to be savored.

Then this retreat may be exactly what your soul is asking for. We don’t require you to show up as the strongest version of yourself—just as you are. This is a space of restoration, reconnection, and remembrance. You will be met with respect and brotherhood.

No. To maintain the integrity of the ceremonial container, full participation from beginning to end is required. Every man’s presence is a vital part of the collective field we build together.

If you’ve felt the pull toward something deeper, if you’re longing to slow down and be nourished, if your soul has been whispering it’s time to come back to center—then you’re ready. Trust the call. You won’t be walking it alone.

You can apply directly through this webpage. Once your registration is reviewed, we’ll reach out to schedule a brief call to ensure alignment.
