What if you could retreat from the world in such a way that when you returned, you felt more alive, more inspired and more able to create effective results?

What if you could take a vacation from your daily life that would open up new possibilities and make more of who you really are?

What if there was a training camp for spiritual self-discovery and soul expansion?

There is!

The Sacred Path is calling you into the adventure of your life…
Bringing good men together and bringing out the best in them.


The Sacred Path Men’s Retreat:

A four-day vision quest into the heart of your soul that includes discussions, talks, stories, movement, therapeutic processes, meditation, sacred ceremony and a variety of opportunities for creative expression.

What We Are About:

The Sacred Path Men’s Retreat is a four-day experience that offers a safe place
to discover your authentic self within a context of love, acceptance and understanding.
It is an adventure that begins with you making the choice.

This Training Is Right For You If:

  • You want to create a life with more aliveness, passion and meaning
  • You want to become a better communicator in your relationships
  • You want a masculinity that encourages a balance of strength and sensitivity
  • You want to be more emotionally available to your partner and family
  • You want to expand beyond your limitations
  • You want to deepen your spiritual practice

This is an interactive event in which you may experience intense emotions, powerful realizations, joyful expressions, deep peace, fun and laughter. It’s a balance of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. You will explore the expansion of your soul in a context of spiritually grounded self-discovery.

What You Will Experience:

  • True freedom. Real power.
  • Trust. Friendship.
  • The spirit of brotherhood.
  • The opening of the heart.
  • The passion of the soul.
  • Spiritual discovery.
  • Connection in the stillness.
  • Joy in movement. Peace in the silence.
  • The thunder of the drums.
  • Realization and revelation. Understanding. Support.
  • Pushing of the limits. Expanding of possibilities.
  • Wisdom and guidance. Inspiration and insight.
  • Ceremony and celebration. Mystery and adventure.
  • The awakening of your authentic Being.

What You Will Receive:

An uncommon experience of unconditional acceptance, an illumination of your spiritual essence, compassion for other men and a deepened awareness of your true self.

I created the Sacred Path Retreat almost 20 years ago so that good men could gather to make a positive difference in their own lives. I believed that once that occurred those same men would choose to make a positive difference in the lives of others and that is what we have found to be true.
– Dr. Stephen J. Johnson, Executive Director, Men's Center of Los Angeles.


The Facility:

The Retreat is located north of Malibu in a unique facility on a coastal ridge 750 feet above sea level, providing a spectacular view of the ocean and the surrounding hills and
canyons. In the ocean view dining room, dinner is often interrupted by a particularly beautiful sunset. The gourmet meals provide a varied menu for non-vegetarians as well as vegetarians and the cuisine elicits rave reviews.

The Retreat facility is a sacred place that offers a profound sense of seclusion and intimacy. The surrounding hills and canyons provide great opportunities for inspiring hikes and nature walks or wonderful spots to just sit and meditate. The rustic cabins, nestled on the hill, offer views of the canyons and accommodate six to eight men. Each cabin includes single or bunk beds, separate showers and bathroom facilities. There are a limited number of private and semi-private rooms available upon request..

Welcome to the Adventure:

There are those things that cannot be described, only experienced. There are those experiences that transform your life.

There are those transformations that come from not only what you receive from the experience, but also from what you bring to it. The Sacred Path Retreat is one of those experiences.

There are times when something calls to you. There are times when you know you must follow the calling. There are time when you must make a choice for your highest fulfillment. That time is now.


The Sacred Path Retreats are facilitated by Dr Stephen J. Johnson and the Wisdom Council Staff
