Once a year, a rare invitation is extended.
Firekeepers is the only public retreat offered annually by Embodied Masculine. It is a sacred gathering of 39 men, leaders, seekers, and brothers, called to step away from the noise of the world and return to what truly matters: the heart, where truth, connection, and divinity reside. We call this gathering Firekeepers because, throughout history, there have been men who see through the veil of society and its norms, men devoted to keeping the fire of the sacred alive in their own hearts and in the heart of humanity. We gather each year to tend that inner fire, to rekindle the part of ourselves that remembers how to live with clarity, purpose, and heart in this world.
This is a retreat from the noise of society, created for men ready to reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with the pulse of the natural world. It is a chance to slow down, to reset, and to be nourished through deep sacred practices, ritual, movement, stillness, and communion with nature. We share meals prepared with care, sit together in council, and walk the land as brothers.
If you have never experienced an in-person Embodied Masculine retreat, know this: it is not just an event. It is a living ceremony. A sacred gathering. A turning point for some, and a profound remembrance for others.
The fire is waiting.

"In many ways. I noticed this disconnection between me and other men. This was really a deep wound that I actually wanted to navigate, noticing as well that a lot of it stems from my own experiences with my own father."
— Alex L.
"Working with Amir and being in community with other men, and exploring my own purpose in the world has brought clarity to my own life and nourishment that I didn't even know I needed."
— Alex R
" So I have a son who is 12 doing this, this work, this retreat, is the best gift I can give to him, so that when he grows up, he knows he'll have a community that has a deeper sense of connection that is waiting for him."
— Chaitan B.

Leave The Familiar For A While....
Leave the familiar for a while. Let your senses and bodies stretch out like a welcomed season onto the meadows and shores and hills. Open up to the roof. Make a new watermark on your excitement and love. Like a blooming night flower, bestow your vital fragrance of happiness and giving upon our intimate assembly. Change rooms in your mind for a day. All the hemispheres in existence lie beside an equator In your heart. Greet Yourself In your thousand other forms As you mount the hidden tide and travel back home. All the hemispheres in heaven Are sitting around a fire chatting while stitching themselves together Into the great circle inside of you. - Hafez
