MEN'S WEEKEND RETREAT
Sonoma, California
Friday 8/21 - Sunday 8/23, 2026
Led by Michael Fong


Relax. Practice. Enjoy.
​
This retreat is a reset button for your mind and body. For the past six years, men from all walks of life have come together for an experience that can only be described as special. Each year, guys from across North America gather for uninterrupted time to explore practices like yoga, martial arts, and meditation, along with meaningful conversations.
​
The men who attend are down-to-earth, diverse, kind, and genuinely welcoming. One of the best parts of the retreat is the group itself. The constant laughter and laid-back vibe are unmatched. It can’t be overstated: This retreat is special. There’s nothing quite like it.
"This was, without hyperbole, a life changing experience." - Jonathan, Clarksburg, California

Why join us?
This retreat is SO much fun. Imagine summer camp when you were a kid, but with much nicer accommodations and way better food. You will have a chance to unwind, eat delicious meals, and have a really good time.
Over the years, we’ve welcomed men in their 20s through their 80s, complete beginners, lifelong practitioners, those with physical limitations, and professional athletes. The goal is simple: challenge yourself appropriately and leave feeling better than when you arrived. You can modify, rest, or opt out of any activity at any time. You’ll be guided and supported every step of the way.
"I have been to every retreat and each one somehow surpasses the last. From beginning to end, the experience is so well thought out and executed." - Garin, Presque Isle, Wisconsin
If you’re unsure about attending a men’s retreat, that’s completely understandable. These kinds of experiences can sometimes be disorganized, overly macho, overly sensitive, or even a little cult-ish. This is not that. This retreat brings together great people in a healthy, grounded environment, in a beautiful location, and without any nonsense. Many guys who attend originally had strong hesitations and ended up returning year after year. Come see what makes it so memorable!
"Everything about this retreat feels right. Michael created an environment where I felt safe to share deep feelings and discuss my healing journey all the while enjoying feel-good yoga practices and the satisfying endurance training session. I left the retreat feeling lighter and having a profound sense of contentment." - I Kai, Montreal Canada

Practices & Activities
During our time together, we will share yoga, martial arts, and meditation classes that are suitable for all levels. The large practice space has several windows & sliding doors that we can open for fresh air during practice and look out to the stunning scenery.
There will be opportunities to explore the gorgeous property, free time, and other fun activities to decompress. Read a book by the gardens, take a dip in the pool, or star gaze up on the hilltop. A detailed itinerary will be sent to you prior to the retreat.
Our Property & Accomodations
OUR PROPERTY
This retreat will be held at a beautiful venue that’s a short 1.5 hour drive from Sacramento or San Francisco, in the heart of breathtaking Sonoma wine country. The venue has a lovely rural feel, surrounded by impressive oak trees, rolling grass hills and vineyards in Sonoma's Valley of the Moon.
There is an outdoor pool to relax by during the day + a hot tub for soaking in under the stars. Enjoy the lovely gardens, sitting areas, farm, and walking labyrinth. Massage services may be available during free time (additional cost applies).
Delicious and nutritious farm to table food will be prepared by wonderful chefs. Meals, drinks and coffee/tea will all be served from the charming adobe building. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available for dining. Most dietary needs can be accommodated, please indicate this during registration.
​
ACCOMMODATIONS
Several delightful paths lead to five charming redwood cabin retreats, nestled among trees and gardens. Each room within the cabins is colorful, elegantly rustic, with its own private bathroom and area for privacy and unwinding. All rooms have a mix of double and twin beds.
​
There are a limited number of single occupancy rooms that are available on a first come, first served basis. All other rooms will be double or triple occupancy. Either come with your friend/brother/father/etc. or have the opportunity to be paired with other guys.
A note about accessibility: the property was originally established in the 1930s, and is located on a hillside. Unfortunately, the retreat center is not wheelchair accessible due to the uneven terrain. If you have any questions/concerns for your stay, please email me. I’ll do my very best to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
