Men's Work Week

Our men's events are held at Claymont Mansion in Charles Town, WV to provide rigorous physical work, spiritual exercise, and the opportunity to grow.

​

Men's events are built for aligning the mind, body, and heart. They are thin spaces, rich and liminal. At men's events we work: cleaning ourselves of identifications, letting go of our need to be special — to no longer seek, but be sought.

 

How do we work? With our brothers as mirrors, we practise disciplines like self-remembering, contemplative exercises, challenging physical work, building sacred space, studying spiritual tools and putting them to good use. And no camp without songs, fires and feasting.

​

This is a moment in the year when we create for ourselves conditions where we may truly examine our inner landscape—the state of our being. Men's Work Week is specifically oriented toward manifesting a shared ground upon which to stand while we search for truth, ask fundamental questions about life's meaning and purpose, and face head-on the pain we carry. We offer a week in which to till your own soil, work on who you are, and plant some signposts on the path. No one will do it for you.

​

This event is our most popular offering and will fill up quickly. Make your deposit by July 1st to register your place.
