The Real Questions

You don't have to share anything you're not ready to share. Nothing here is required except the first question. There is no judgment. You will never be forced to disclose anything — not here, and not at the retreat.

What are you hoping to get out of this weekend? *

Don't write what you think we want to hear. Write what's true. It can be one sentence.

Is there something you've been struggling with?

Completely optional. You don't have to name it. You don't have to explain it. If you want to say something, this is a safe place to do it. If not, leave it blank.

What area of your life do you most want to grow in?

Optional. Could be relationships, fatherhood, career, purpose, emotional health, grief — whatever comes to mind.

Any medications, medical needs, or considerations our team should know about?

Confidential. This helps our licensed therapist and support team prepare appropriately. You will not be judged or excluded. CPAP machines, medications, and other medically necessary items are always permitted.

Emergency Contact

This person can reach you through us in an emergency. They'll call our number and we'll find you immediately.

What to Know Before You Arrive

This retreat is designed to strip away distractions so you can be present. Here's what that looks like.

You will not see anyone until the reveal. At check-in, your sleep mask goes on before you see another participant. You'll hear voices and first names — but no faces. Not on the bus. Not until you arrive at the lodge and the masks come off together. This is intentional.

No personal belongings. No phones, no wallets, no watches, no branded clothing. You arrive with nothing but yourself. We provide your shirt.

Exceptions: Medically necessary items are always allowed — medications, CPAP machines, anything prescribed. Nicotine sources (vape, dip, patches) are permitted.

No alcohol. No drugs. This is a completely substance-free weekend. No exceptions.

Agreements

I understand my phone and all personal belongings will be collected at check-in. I will have one 5-minute call per day. Emergency contact will be provided a direct number. *I understand no personal belongings are permitted except medically necessary items (medications, CPAP, etc.) and nicotine. *I understand this is a completely alcohol-free and drug-free weekend. No exceptions. *I agree that what's said at the retreat stays at the retreat. Complete confidentiality. *I understand a photographer may be present. Photos are taken at a distance and will not interrupt the experience. *I wish to opt out of all photography. (Optional — check only if you want to opt out.)

Safety & Trust

The Heroes' Journey is built on trust and safety for every man in the room. We don't judge backgrounds. We don't ask for details about your past. But we do require the following.

I affirm that I have no convictions, pending charges, or history involving sexual violence, sex offenses, or crimes against minors. Misrepresentation is grounds for immediate removal with no refund. *I consent to The Heroes' Journey conducting a background check at its discretion as part of the application process. *
