Modern life overloads our senses, pulls our attention in a dozen directions, and leaves us feeling untethered. Awaken to Connection is a day-long immersive retreat set on 18 acres of sacred land near Temecula. Here, you will practice the skills that cultivate connection. Through carefully designed embodied exercises, relational drills, and moments of deep stillness, you’ll learn to meet yourself and others with clarity, courage, and curiosity. Join us in learning the tools and connecting with community to help you remember how to belong.

Testimonials
I’ve been a part of a men’s group led by Keith for about five years. Keith is emotionally intelligent and empathic. He creates a supportive container that encourages men to explore their edge. I would recommend his work to anyone looking for a men’s group that encourages growth, emotional exploration and connection.
— NikiThe tranquility of the retreat space, set on truly sacred land, created an atmosphere that felt both magical and grounding. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the healing energy supporting profound inner shifts. I left feeling renewed, aligned, and forever changed by the depth of this experience.
— RoyI experienced Mark as calm and grounded, even when I wasn’t. That steadiness mattered more than any technique. Being with him helped my body settle, and once that happened, clarity followed on its own. The work didn’t feel forced—it felt respectful, human, and real. I carried that sense of steadiness with me long after our time together.
