THE RITES OF THE JAGUAR
MEN'S JOURNEY INTO THE WILD
8th - 22nd FEBRUARY 2026
Return to the Wild: a 14-Day Men’s Retreat in the Amazon Rainforest
In a world that often asks men to disconnect—from their truth, from their emotions, from their bodies—we offer you a different path.
This is not a retreat for the faint of heart.
This is a rite of passage.
A deep remembering.
A journey back to the core of who you truly are.
Over 14 days in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, you will be immersed in a powerful container of ancestral plant medicine, embodied men's work, and raw, unfiltered brotherhood. Guided by skilled facilitators and indigenous healers, this experience is a call to reclaim your truth, heal your lineage, and rise rooted in integrity, clarity, and purpose.
Why You’re Being Called
For too long, men have been taught to suppress their grief, hide their tenderness, and disconnect from their own intuition.
But the truth is: your vulnerability is not weakness—it is a gateway to power.
This journey invites you to peel back the layers, confront your shadows, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive. To move from numbness into presence. From confusion into clarity. From isolation into belonging.
This Journey Is For You If
-
You’re ready to face yourself with radical honesty
-
You feel the call to break old cycles and step into aligned, conscious manhood
-
You desire to stand shoulder to shoulder with other men in truth, vulnerability, and strength
-
You know there’s more to life—and you’re ready to claim it
Location & Setting
Held deep in the Peruvian Amazon, you’ll live surrounded by the wild rhythms of the jungle—far from the noise of the outside world. Days are held within sacred ceremony, physical movement, silence, nature immersion, and intentional brotherhood.
