3-Day Men’s Retreat Expanding Through Connection:
A Workshop for Men Many men carry unspoken emotional pain - patterns of withdrawal, deep seated memories, feelings and beliefs of "not being enough,” and struggle to feel fully connected.
This workshop offers a space to slow down, reflect, and explore a deeper sense of authenticity and connection - with yourself and others.

«Join Us for a Transformative Weekend» This is not a lecture – it’s a hands-on experience. Through practice, play, reflection, and discussion, we will learn what is needed create an internal environment for us to be human men who struggle, make mistakes, and pick ourselves up again to do better.

«Who is This For?» This retreat is for any man who recognizes a critical need to develop consistent daily practices to foster mental clarity, physical well-being, and meaningful relationships. Over the course of this 3-day retreat we will collectively explore and create together:

Beyond Circle our weekend will include a rich schedule of healing practices:

* Guided breathwork and meditation

* Movement and embodiment exercises

* Sauna and cold plunge sessions

* Connection to nature through shared care of the land

Payment plans available. Work/trade spots open at the hosts’ discretion, completed outside the event.

Expect to feel at home in the wilderness

Arrival: Friday, November 20, at 12:00 p.m.
Departure: Sunday, November 22, at 5:00 p.m.

A Viking Weekend is a chance to see what's possible when we come together: hands on tools, effort aligned, spirits lifted by fire, shared meals, and song. This gathering continues the raising of our baðstofa, the sweat lodge the old Irish called the teach allais, or house of sweat. Its frame was cut by hand and carved with the personal runes of the people who built it. Now it's time to give it a roof, walls, and the stone that will hold its heat for years to come.

Things to know:
Meals and lodging: All meals and lodging are included. We have 10 guest beds, plus tatami, sleeping bags, air mattresses, hammocks, and tent space.
Carpooling: Carpooling is available. Let us know if you need a ride or can offer one.
Shared care: We'll work together to care for the land, cook meals, tend the fire, and finish the baðstofa.
What to bring: Bring work gloves, sturdy boots, warm layers for crisp November nights, and clothes you don't mind getting muddy.
Unplug: Leave your phone in the car. Come back to yourself.

About Vandrar Hem Vandrar Hem means The Wander Home. It's a place for wanderers to rest, build, and remember the feeling of home, where movement, nature, and community come alive together. Expect cozy vibes, clear night skies, crisp air, the warmth of fire, and a jaunty puppy roaming free.

Past Events

«Answer the Call to Adventure»

There are moments in life when something in us knows it is time.
Time to leave the familiar path. Time to face the unknown.
Time to remember the courage, imagination, and strength that have been waiting beneath the surface all along.

Beneath the routines and distractions of daily life, there is a more heroic self waiting to be called forward.

This retreat is an invitation to step out of the ordinary, enter the realm of adventure, and rediscover the power of play, movement, and shared quest.

«Join Us for an Epic Weekend»

Spend three days immersed in movement, nature, imagination, and nourishing community at Vandrar Hem.

Through cooperative challenges, outdoor missions, playful training, reflection, and story-driven adventure, we will create the conditions for each participant to step more fully into their own heroic self.

Like any good quest, this weekend will ask for curiosity, courage, collaboration, and heart.
Through movement games, imaginative challenges, teamwork, and time in nature, we will train body and spirit together.

There will be moments of laughter, risk, problem solving, rest, and reflection.
Each person will have a chance to explore what kind of hero they are becoming and how they want to show up in the world beyond the quest.
