Mindful Masculinity Retreat

July 11-13, 2025

Need a Reset? This Is Your Weekend.

Mindful Masculinity: Unearthing the Man You Already Are

A Sacred Grit Men’s Retreat with Jason Lyle
July 11–13, 2025 | Elohee Retreat Center, North Georgia

If life’s gotten loud —
If you’re running hard and feel like you’re losing yourself —
If you need something real…

This retreat is for you.

Led by AIR founder Jason Lyle, this weekend is about stripping it all back and remembering who you are underneath the pressure, the performance, and the pain. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about coming home to yourself.

What You’ll Get:

• Simple, powerful tools to help you stay grounded when life punches back:
  movement, breathwork, meditation, cold water immersion, and honest self-exploration.

• Stillness that sticks — the kind that resets your nervous system and gives you clarity you can feel.

• Authentic Masculinity — not performative toughness, but the strength that comes from being real, present, and fully alive.

What the Weekend Looks Like:

• Arrive between 2:00–4:00 PM Friday

• Welcome circle, dinner, and the first deep-dive session

Saturday includes:

• Morning movement and breathwork

• Group discussions that go deeper than surface talk

• Extended solo time for hiking, journaling, or rest

• Afternoon yoga, breathwork, meditation, and cold plunge

• Evening fire circle + stillness work

Sunday:

• Morning practice, closing reflections, and a powerful final circle

• Checkout by 2:00 PM

Who It’s For:

• Men who’ve been part of AIR and want to go deeper

• Men who’ve never done anything like this but know they need something to shift

• Executives, tradesmen, fathers, sons — any man ready to stop running and start listening

You Don’t Have to Have It All Together. You Just Have to Show Up.

If something in you is saying “I need this” — listen to it.
You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to be perfect.
Just come..

Fall Newcomers Hiking Trip

September 26–28, 2025

Long Creek Falls, North Georgia

This is where it begins.

The Fall Newcomers Hiking Trip is for men who are ready to take a first step—into the wilderness, into brotherhood, and into themselves. If you've been feeling the pull toward something deeper, something real, this is your invitation.

We’ll spend two nights on the trail near Long Creek Falls, a quiet corner of North Georgia where the noise of the world fades and something ancient rises. Around the fire, on the trail, and in shared silence, you’ll find space to breathe, reflect, and begin your own path in the AIR community.

This trip is completely free.
We provide all the food and gear—you just show up.

If you're ready to see what AIR is all about, this is your chance.

Fall Alumni Hiking Trip

October 10–12, 2025

Benton MacKaye Trail → Toccoa River Swinging Bridge

This October, we’re heading back to the trail. The Fall Alumni Hiking Trip is open to all AIR alumni—those who’ve been on a journey with us and are ready for another step.

We’ll hike a stunning stretch of the Benton MacKaye Trail, winding through North Georgia’s changing leaves and ending at the legendary swinging bridge over the Toccoa River. It’s a chance to reconnect—with the wilderness, with your AIR brothers, and with yourself.

This trip is for all skill levels. Whether you're looking to push your edge or just need space to breathe, you’ll be met right where you are.

All food and gear is provided. Just bring your body, your spirit, and whatever you're carrying.

Spots are limited. Reserve yours soon.
