FAQ – The Embodied Man Retreat
- 1) What is the purpose of this retreat?
The retreat is designed to help men explore and redefine masculinity beyond cultural expectations through psychedelic cannabis, breathwork, body excercise, and creative integration. - Do I need prior experience with psychedelics or breathwork?
No, this retreat is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The facilitators will guide you through every step. - Is cannabis mandatory?
No. While cannabis is offered as a tool for deepening the experience, participation is always optional. The breathwork alone can lead to profound insights. - Will I be in control during the journey?
Yes. Unlike stronger psychedelics, cannabis allows you to stay present while exploring deep layers of consciousness. You are always in control of your experience. - Will I be in a safe environment?
Absolutely. The retreat is facilitated by experienced guides in a supportive, private setting. Safety, respect, and confidentiality are top priorities. - What kind of art integration will we be doing?
You’ll have access to multiple mediums, including drawing, collage, and sculpture. No artistic skill is required—this is about self-expression, not making a masterpiece. - How does the sauna session help?
Inspired by temazcal traditions, the sauna is used as a cleansing and integrative process to help release emotional and physical tension accumulated during the journey. - How do I sign up?

Guest Instructor
Jalen is a life-long creative, an endless-wanderer, and a deeply curious soul who is drawn to explore this cosmic comedy we call life.
He believes in the dual nature of transformation-the need for an archaeological excavation of ones Self paired with a compelling vision of the future-both of which play a vital role in uncovering insights that shape a more meaningful soul-centered present-state.
He also believes that when we engage the experiential energies of Inquiry, Imagination and Embodiment, we create a conscious container for our soul to thrive within.
