A MEN'S EMBODIED LEADERSHIP IMMERSION
A weekend of powerful practice for men called
to live and lead with truth, depth, and devotion
to live and lead with truth, depth, and devotion
Guided by John Wineland & Dane Holewinski
LEAD FROM YOUR DEEPEST SELF
You already lead - in your business, your family, your relationships. But is that leadership sourced from the fire at the deepest part of you?
This immersive weekend retreat with master teacher John Wineland and renowned coach Dane Holewinski invites you to access the grounded clarity, embodied wisdom, and energetic transmission of true leadership.
Together with a curated circle of men— visionaries, founders, fathers, friends—we’ll explore a new paradigm of leadership.
Leadership rooted not in image or intellect, but in presence, integrity, and deep inner truth.
Leadership rooted in heart, forged through practice, and anchored in the body.
THIS IS NOT A WORKSHOP. THIS IS A RITE OF PASSAGE.
Over three days in the wild beauty of Lake Tahoe, you’ll train in the practices that transform good men into magnetic, trustworthy leaders. This is a place where your brilliance, grief, power, fear, and longing are all welcome—and necessary. Through deep embodiment work, somatic refinement, and relational training, you will connect to:
Grounded Presence
Cultivate a still, rooted presence that others can trust, feel, and naturally want to follow—because your steadiness creates safety and direction.
Energetic Range
Expand your capacity to skillfully embody both deep, grounded awareness and clear, heart-centered leadership even in the most challenging situations
Relational Leadership
Lead with unwavering direction and open-hearted depth—so your presence creates trust, evokes devotion, and inspires your team, your family and your community.
Unshakable Clarity
Hold space with grounded wisdom—even in moments of emotional tension, conflict, or difficult conversations.
WHAT GOT YOU HERE, WONT TAKE YOU WHERE YOU LONG TO GO
You have a lot to be grateful for…and yet, there's still something more you desire.
You're tired of running the same old playbook of:
- Pursuing fulfillment by achieving success as defined by others
- Getting things done through stress-fueled intensity that keeps you from consistently enjoying your life and fruits of your labor
- Being fiercely independent at the expense of deeper more meaningful relationships especially with other men
- Blindly competing with others and feeling like you never have enough…money, success, time, friends, peace or joy
- Using your rational intelligence to try to control the uncontrollable world around you
You're ready to rise into the next level of living and leading where you:
- Wake up excited and energized every day
- Enthusiastically direct your time and attention in alignment with your true values
- Actively engage in a brotherhood of supportive, strong and like mind-minded men
- Go to bed each night satisfied that you and your gifts were used well in service to something larger than yourself

FOR MEN WHO ARE READY TO LEAD DIFFERENTLY
This retreat IS for you if:
- You’re tired of feeling overloaded with meaningless day to day responsibilities and crave a deeper and more consistent relationship to your inner knowing, the fire of your life-force energy, and purposeful work.
- You deeply desire to lead with both STRENGTH and HEART - in your work, your relationships, your family and your community - but often operate from one or the other.
- You don’t just want to talk about leadership—you want to embody it. In your presence. In your relationships. In how you show up as a man, a partner, a father, a founder. With integrity that’s felt, not performed.
- You long to lead from truth, serve something greater, and move through the world with unwavering clarity and intention.
This retreat IS NOT for you if:
- You’re not ready to experiment with powerful practices that will increase your access to a greater sense of vitality and aliveness.
- You are unwilling to be challenged and held accountable to live as your highest self by other powerful, heart-centered leaders who will not let you hide.
- You believe the status quo in your life and the world will lead to your ultimate fulfillment
- You're not curious what's possible in your life if you can access greater depth, integrity, power and purpose.
