Oaks Retreat: Men's Weekend

Men often carry more than they let on. Work, friendships, and responsibilities can leave little room for rest, reflection, or honest conversation. Men’s Weekend at The Oaks is not about bravado or quick fixes. It is about pressing pause, asking better questions, and leaving with a clearer sense of how you want to show up for yourself and in the roles and relationships that matter most.
What makes this retreat unique is the balance of fun and depth. Around the table, on the trail, playing cards, throwing a football, or sitting by the fire, you will find space to laugh, connect, and have the conversations you rarely get to have at home. Many men are craving genuine friendship and a space where telling the truth is not only welcome but freeing.
Emotional intelligence is one of the strongest skills a man can have. It makes you a better leader, partner, father, friend, and human being. Naming what you carry and sharing it with others does not make you weak. It makes you human, and it helps you stay healthy. This retreat creates space to notice where life feels heavy, name what gets in the way, and move forward with more congruency and honesty.
Men’s Weekend is for those who want more than surface level connection and who see the value in stepping away to reset, gain perspective, and return with new energy. It has quickly become the most requested addition at The Oaks because men are asking for spaces like this and we are listening. We would love for you to join us.




Workshops and Sessions
Friday Evening: Welcome and FocusWe begin by slowing down from the pace you left behind. This first session is about arriving fully, setting aside distractions, and naming what you want from the weekend.
Session One: What Do I CarryEvery man carries responsibilities, pressures, and unfinished business. In this session we take stock of what you are holding and where your energy goes. Seeing it clearly is the first step toward moving with more perspective.
Session Two: The Pressures and Resources You NavigateMany men feel the pressure to provide, to succeed, to stay strong, and to hold things together. These expectations can drain energy and keep us from investing in what matters most. In this session we explore the pressures you face, how you have responded, and what resources of time, energy, and support can help you move forward with greater intention.
Session Three: How Do I Show UpAt work, at home, and in relationships, we all have ways we hope to show up, and ways we actually do. This session is about noticing that gap and asking what truly matters in the roles you play. The goal is honesty and alignment, not perfection.
Session Four: What Is PossibleWe close by asking what is next. What would it look like to carry forward what surfaced here? The aim is not to change everything at once but to leave with clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of direction.
