Men’s Flying Hawk Surf Retreat in Sayulita
$2,950 (all-inclusive, single occupancy)
$2,450 (all inclusive, double occupancy)
We understand that men connect more with a brotherhood of other men to navigate their grief in a way that feels truly authentic and unique to each individual. We do not tell you “how” to grieve, or if you should “be over it” by now. Instead, we connect you with other men who are on the same journey as you, and provide you with tools and a safe place to help you navigate your loss.
We have designed our 5-day men’s surf retreat with the power of the ocean and the resilience of the human spirit in mind. Whether you are new to surfing or have had years riding waves around the world, this retreat is about the common safe place we feel within the Ocean. We will split the group up based on each individual’s surf goals and ability. We hire surf instructors and local pros that will show you the ropes to make sure you have the best surf experience.
Each day begins with a healthy, organic breakfast followed by a long morning session at some of the best surf spots in Nayarit. Afternoons include meditation, yoga, breath work, and group sharing sessions. Each evening at sunset, we gather together once more on the beach to release any blocked energies, find a place for forgiveness, and make space for our grief. On our final night, we honor those we have lost with a special bonfire ceremony on the beach.
This retreat has been built in honor of our founders’ late husband. He was a surfer, a shaper, and overall rad human we lost to suicide in 2022. Surf communities from California to Nayarit — and everywhere in between — were left broken in the wake of his death. As such, we have designed this annual retreat at some of Joel’s favorite surf breaks, and to fully support those who have lost a brother to men’s mental health issues.
This is why it our men’s retreat is aptly named the
Flying Hawk Surf Retreat.
“That's the thing about suicide. Try as you might to remember how a person lived his life, you always end up thinking about how he ended it.”
- Anderson Cooper
