Connection changes everything, especially when you’re surrounded by people who truly get it.
Welcome to the 2026 Sober Men’s Wellness Retreat
This is an intimate, alcohol-free retreat designed for men who want to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build meaningful connection with like-minded people — without pressure, performance, or expectations.
Over a few intentional days, you’ll step out of daily noise and into a supportive space that prioritizes presence, reflection, and real conversation.

About the Host
Hi, I’m Gabe, an alcohol-free life coach and community builder focused on creating spaces where men can show up honestly, without judgment or expectation.
This retreat is shaped by my own journey with alcohol-free living, wellness, and the deep impact of intentional community. I believe real change happens when we slow down, feel supported, and are given space to reflect, not when we’re pushed or fixed.
My role is to guide, hold space, and create an environment where connection feels natural and safe.
“It also encourages you to try new things, self care, breathing, journaling, etc which help provide you with some “extra tools” going forward. Working with Gabe was an excellent experience for me, he’s encouraging, patient and resourceful.” - Terri W.
