Retreat Description
Discovering a New Path Through Men’s Work and Purpose
In a world awash in technology and achievement, many men find themselves feeling isolated, unfulfilled, and uncertain about their true legacy. The Not Done Yet retreat responds to this quiet ache for authenticity and connection. Far from a quick fix or a surface-level workshop, this gathering offers a profound immersion in Embodied Men’s Work—an approach that integrates the physical body, emotional presence, and spiritual depth to create a foundation of integrity and purpose. Within the supportive container of a close-knit brotherhood, participants encounter challenges and experiences designed to strip away the superficial layers of identity and reconnect them to what truly matters.
Integrating Embodied Men’s Work, Men’s Coaching, and Spiritual Practices
Men attending the Not Done Yet retreat embark on a multi-dimensional journey of transformation. Through modalities like Kundalini Yoga, Chi Gong, shadow work, and Biological Breath practices, participants learn to open their bodies and quiet their minds. Immersed in the pristine natural beauty of Northern California, they are guided to explore their inner landscapes. Drawing on wisdom from modern pioneers like John Wineland and David Deida, as well as timeless traditions of spiritual embodiment, this retreat offers a space where knowledge moves beyond theory—becoming lived experience. The result is a reinvigorated nervous system, a more trusting heart, and a heightened capacity to lead with clarity and presence.
Beyond External Success: Embracing True Leadership and Legacy
This retreat recognizes that men stand at a critical crossroads in contemporary life. External success, while valuable, often leaves an inner void. Through the power of Men’s Retreat practices, participants develop an unshakable core—one rooted in purpose, vitality, and fierce love. As they integrate yoga, breathwork, nature immersion, and animacy practices, they learn to embody leadership qualities that rise from deep within. The world is hungry for a different kind of leader—one who can meet complexity with compassion, integrate values into action, and offer a depth that others can trust. Not Done Yet catalyzes this shift, aligning men with the legacy they want to leave behind and forging bonds that can outlast the retreat itself.
Building a Lasting Brotherhood to Support Your Journey
Real change doesn’t happen in isolation. Not Done Yet fosters a sense of enduring community, encouraging participants to engage with other men who share their hunger for transformation. This retreat is more than a standalone event; it’s a vibrant part of a longer journey where men continue to deepen their practice and refine their sense of purpose. With no more than 15 men in this intimate container, each participant’s voice is heard, each challenge acknowledged, and each growth celebrated. The brotherhood formed here will stand as a source of support and accountability, long after the retreat concludes.
Benefits You Can Carry Forward
Men emerge from this retreat with more than just good memories. They depart with practical tools—breathwork sequences to calm the mind, embodied practices to ground the body, and guiding principles that can anchor their daily lives in presence and depth. Attendees leave with a clearer sense of purpose and the legacy they desire to cultivate, along with a renewed vitality and a circle of trustworthy peers. In essence, they gain the internal architecture needed to navigate life’s pressures with integrity and grace, never losing sight of their deepest truth.

Spirit Camp Retreat Center: Defining the Northern California Coast Healing Experience
Spirit Camp Retreat Center stands as a radiant beacon of transformation, much like Esalen defines the Central Coast but here, it radiates with its own unique Northern Coast magic. Located amid the towering redwoods of Mendocino County, this boutique retreat center once served as a youth camp over fifty years ago, and it now offers an authentic sanctuary for those seeking healing, growth, and spiritual exploration. Only a three-hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area—an easy journey for those coming from Oakland, Berkeley, the South Bay, Marin County, or Sonoma County—Spirit Camp provides a seamless escape into nature’s embrace. Guests can immerse themselves in a wide array of modalities, from yoga retreats and meditation intensives to somatics workshops, ancestral reconnection ceremonies, and mindful breath work. Forest bathing excursions invite guests to slow down beneath centuries-old redwoods, reconnecting with the rhythms of the earth, while seasonal camping and glamping options deliver the chance to sleep beneath starlit skies.
For those preferring more comfort, private cabins and warm bunkhouses offer cozy lodging, while the original redwood lodge’s sunlit windows frame the passing seasons, rain or shine. Whether seeking a weekend getaway focused on wellness, a week-long holistic health retreat, or a personal spiritual growth immersion, Spirit Camp welcomes all—from men’s breathwork circles and women’s weekends to inclusive gatherings that celebrate expression and authenticity. Owned by a gay queer couple, this haven actively nurtures diversity and community, extending its warmth to every visitor who crosses its threshold. Just a mile away from the coastal bluffs and pristine beaches, and only a short drive from Mendocino’s charming coffee shops, unique boutiques, and grocery stores, visitors can enjoy the perfect balance of secluded tranquility and nearby conveniences. Arrive in Mendocino a day early or linger a day after your retreat to explore forest trails, breathe in salty coastal air, and discover the subtle beauty that enriches the mind, body, and soul. With over 20 to 30 retreats each year, each woven into a tapestry of healing arts, personal development, and heartfelt connection, Spirit Camp continuously evolves as a place where ancient forests, creative modalities, and the quiet power of nature converge to define the Northern California coast’s own brand of healing and personal growth.
