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.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for you if:

  • You’re sober, alcohol-free, or alcohol-curious

  • You’re seeking connection without alcohol being the centerpiece

  • You value depth, honesty, and emotional awareness

  • You want time to reflect, reset, and reconnect

  • You prefer a small, intentional group over large events

This retreat is not a party, conference, or high-pressure self-improvement weekend. It’s a grounded reset, designed to meet you where you are.

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.

FAQs

  • No. This retreat is open to queer identifying men who are sober, alcohol-free, or simply curious about life without alcohol.

  • No. Everything is optional. You’re encouraged to engage at your own pace. Sometimes, just doing your own thing can be the relaxing thing you need.

  • Rooms are shared to support connection, while still respecting boundaries and personal space.

  • All payments are non-refundable due to upfront venue, food, and retreat preparation costs.

    • Early Bird Registration:
      If an Early Bird registrant cancels for any reason, the $500 deposit is non-refundable.

    • Final Payment Deadline:
      Once the final payment is due on March 1, no portion of the retreat fee can be refunded, regardless of attendance or circumstances.

    Because this retreat requires advance financial commitments and limited capacity, we are unable to offer refunds or credits once payments are made.

  • The retreat is limited to a small group (9) to maintain a supportive and intimate experience.
