A Summer Solstice Initiation in Brotherhood, Embodiment & Purpose
Lay Down thee Weight.
Remember the Man You Came Here to Be.
Four days in thee Riviera Maya to return to yourself — your body, your brotherhood, your God and the life waiting for you.
Brother,
I created this retreat because I know how easy it is to carry more than we allow anyone to see.
I've watched strong, devoted men quietly disappear beneath the weight of it all — filling thee space with work, noise, forward motion — until one day they can't remember thee last time they felt genuinely alive.
Maybe life looks full from thee outside. And something still feels distant.
Men's Reset exists for that gap.
Each year near thee Summer Solstice, a small group of men gathers in thee Riviera Maya for four days — not to escape their lives, but to return to themselves. To lay down what they no longer need to carry. To be witnessed without performance. To remember, in the company of other men, what they came here for.
If you're reading this, we've likely crossed paths. This isn't a cold offer — it's a personal invitation to go deeper.
Come not because you are broken. Come because something within you is ready to be heard.
I'll be there with you.
Something Has Been Asking for Your Attention
Life looks full — thee calendar, thee responsibilities. And yet something inside feels distant, like you're watching your own life from slightly behind yourself.
Thee body has been holding more than it's letting go. Tension you ignore. Breath you keep shallow. A tiredness that sleep doesn't reach.
Built on Four Foundations
Every element — from opening circle to closing beach gathering — is woven through these four threads.
Brotherhood
Real connection between men willing to be honest — not about achievements, but about being human. Brotherhood that holds you, challenges you and reminds you that you are not alone.
Embodiment
Returning to thee body as thee ground of transformation. Through movement, breathwork, ceremony and nature, we remember that the answers aren't in our heads — they're in our breath and bones.
Restoration
Deep, unapologetic rest. Tropical water. Jungle air. Time without agenda. Many men arrive having not truly stopped in years. This retreat creates room to simply be.
Purpose
Listening for what your soul has been asking. Through reflection, circle and workshop, we explore the dreams, desires and practices that bring a man's life into alignment with what matters most.
You Are Not Coming Because You Are Broken.
You are coming because something within you is ready to be heard.

This retreat is not medical treatment, psychotherapy or addiction treatment. Experiences vary. It is designed to support personal reflection and growth — not to diagnose, treat or cure any health condition.

Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya
The Riviera Maya slows a man down in exactly thee right way. Warm Caribbean air, deep jungle green, thee sound of water — it conspires with thee work to dissolve what doesn't need to be there anymore.
We gather at Lagunas de Ciudad Mayakoba — a peaceful resort-style setting surrounded by tropical greenery and lagoon waterways, with spaces for movement, reflection, ceremony and unhurried rest. Anticipated amenities include pools, lagoon kayaking, a gym, yoga spaces, jacuzzis and jungle pathways. Thee Caribbean coastline is minutes away.

What Men Carry Home
“Masterful and humble, Peter is truly a gifted facilitator of transformation”
Jonathan W. — Arizona
“I feel like I came to a sanctuary, met a Jeanie who sprayed pixy dust on me and gave me everything I wanted”
Axle Eaton — Newport Beach
"Working with Peter was transformative. He helped me identify and understand my avoidance and self-sabotage patterns, guiding me to approach them with grace and compassion. Together, we created tangible action steps that led to meaningful shifts. Pedro's energy is a beautiful balance of intuitive awareness and clear, concise masculine guidance. His mastery of diverse modalities, including Chinese medicine and breathwork, allows him to seamlessly combine techniques like an artist, tailoring each session to serve the highest good. Pedro is both caring and highly skilled, and I felt completely supported and in capable hands throughout our work together."
Ra — Bali

What Men Often Ask
Is this only for men who have worked with thee facilitator before?
No. While many participants have an existing relationship with Shaman Peter, new men are welcome — provided there is a genuine fit. Thee application process gives both of you a chance to explore that. If you're uncertain, reach out directly before applying.
Do I need previous retreat experience?
No. Many men attend their first retreat here. What's required is not experience — it's a genuine willingness to show up honestly. Curiosity, openness and a desire to participate with integrity are the foundation.
Is participation in every activity required?
No. Consent and personal agency are foundational to this container. You are always free to rest, step back, or engage in thee way that serves you. Thee facilitator and group will never pressure you to participate in any element.
Can I attend without participating in ceremonial substances?
Absolutely. Substance-free participation is fully welcome, complete and equally respected. Many men attend without engaging with any optional ceremonial elements and find thee experience deeply meaningful. Thee core of thee retreat — brotherhood, embodiment, ceremony and reflection — does not depend on those elements.
What screening is required?
All participants complete a pre-retreat application and a preparation call with thee facilitator. For optional ceremonial experiences, additional health and psychological screening is required. Thee specific protocol will be shared after your application is received.
Please disclose all relevant medications and health history honestly. This protects you.
What is included in the price?
Please see thee Inclusions section of this page for a full breakdown. Thee confirmed list will be finalized and updated before the page is published. If you have specific questions about what is covered, contact us directly.

Thee journey is approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic. Specific arrival coordination will be communicated with confirmed participants.
What should I bring?
A full packing and preparation guide will be shared with confirmed participants. In general: comfortable movement clothing, swimwear, a journal, an open heart, and nothing you don't need. The environment does the rest.
Can dietary needs be accommodated?
Please indicate any dietary requirements or restrictions in your application. We will do our best to accommodate needs within thee context of the retreat setting.
What happens after I apply?

What is the cancellation and refund policy?
No Refunds. Deposits are Transferrable to Qualified Partipants.
Is this a replacement for therapy or medical treatment?
No. Men's Reset is not psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, addiction treatment or medical care. It is a personal growth and wellness retreat. If you are currently working with a therapist or doctor, we encourage you to continue that support — and to discuss your attendance with your care provider if you have any relevant health considerations.
If you are in active crisis or require clinical stabilization, please seek appropriate professional care first.

One More Thing
"There are moments when life asks us to keep pushing. And there are moments when it asks us to become still enough to hear what has been trying to reach us."
You don't need to arrive ready.
You only need to be honest about whether something is calling you here.
Come as you are.
Leave with a deeper relationship to the man you are becoming.
