Men born in male bodies, wanting a deeper experience than an average holiday, longing to connect authentically with themselves and others through Yoga, men’s work, and meditation.

This retreat is exclusive for men because it provides a focused and supportive environment for addressing male-specific issues and concerns. It offers a safe space for men born in male bodies to explore their identities, challenges, and growth opportunities, without pressures or expectations. In this retreat, men can openly discuss topics such as masculinity, mental health, relationships, career and purpose without inhibition, promoting deeper understanding of themselves and their peers. By creating a supportive environment, this retreat empowers men to address their unique concerns and develop strategies for personal and collective growth. This focused approach allows participants to explore and confront issues that may be overshadowed or overlooked in a mixed-gender setting, ultimately promoting deeper introspection, connection, and self-development.

As long as you have a motorcycle licence, some riding experience and an open mind to go deeper with the group, then yes. Every participant has to take part in all the retreat’s practices and activities, have a motorcycle driver’s licence for 500cc, and we recommend at least one year riding experience on asphalt. It is also advised to be physically fit, as the altitude and the roads are quite tough already. Even though you don’t need to have off road experience, some harder days on the road are to be expected.

You will also need an International Driving License, and travel insurance that includes riding a motorcycle in India. If you fail to comply with any of the above, even if you are already in India, a motorcycle will not be assigned to you.

Men’s circles are safe and inclusive spaces where men born in male bodies can explore their masculinity, share about emotions, mental health, personal struggles, goals and other themes, while cultivating stronger relationships with other men. Men’s circles help men challenge harmful and limiting beleifs about masculinity, become more self-aware and emotionally intelligent, connect with others authentically, work towards goals, and deepen their sense of purpose. Men's circles have been around since ancient times. They are a way for men to come together and share their experiences and wisdom. These gatherings were important in many indigenous cultures for passing down knowledge to future generations. In recent years, men's circles have become popular again in the West.

In this retreat we will practice Hatha Yoga, a spiritual development practice rooted in Indian Tantric traditions, Tibetan Bön, and Tibetan Buddhism. It introduces awareness of body, and health cultivation, offering gentle purification and strengthening.

Topics in our practice will include elemental balancing postures, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, and meditation. Catering to all ages, body types, and fitness levels, this practice emphasises listening to one's body and commit to personal growth.

Unfortunately not. If you are just looking for a motorcycle tour, this is not the right group for you. Yoga, men’s circling and meditation are core practices of this retreat. All participants without exception, regardless of their experience, agree to take part in all the practices and activities. Health issues and personal needs will be assessed individually with the facilitator, on a daily basis. If you have a medical condition or any other questions about your ability to participate, you should send us a message and schedule a discovery call before you register. Be aware that refusal to participate in the practices and group activities will result in the expulsion of the retreat without any refund.

We are indeed withdrawing to a silent and secluded place, ourselves, as we practice, and ride, and Ladakh, the most remote and inhabited region in India. It will be an inner and outer journey. Meaning, we will journey within, as we travel without. The practices of Yoga, men’s work and meditation are central in this retreat (whatever your level of practice). The way the whole program is structured, between the practices, the roads we are riding through, the hotels we stay at, the visits we will do, they all contribute to such withdrawal and introspection, as we move from place to place.

Yes, in order to keep it sustainable and more intimate, these are quite exclusive retreats. The maximum number of participants is 14.

This will facilitate a closer and more friendly environment within the group, throughout the retreat.

On your own motorcycle, of course. Exception made to the first two days, and the two last. We will ride almost every other day of the retreat, unless it’s a rest day.

Some days are tighter, with an estimate of about 6 to 8 hours of riding. Some other days are pretty relaxed between 3 to 5 hours of riding. Riding in this journey will be an extenuating practice, as it adds up to the harshness of the high altitude desert, where it is quite dry, and there is much less oxygen than at sea level. This can result for instance, among other things, in less quality sleep during some nights. The days will flow as smoothly as possible in this retreat, between riding, practice, and acclimatisation, but expect some harder days, and also rest days in between to restore our energies.
