Why this retreat

When Your Mind Won’t Slow Down, Your Body Holds the Map

Most men learn to push through everything—stress, doubt, and exhaustion—by tightening up, numbing out, or going into problem-solving mode. It works for a while… until it doesn’t.

Return to the Body is a space to lay that armor down. Over four days of breathwork, embodiment, and honest conversation around the fire, you’ll learn to listen to your nervous system, meet life from grounded presence, and reconnect with the part of you that feels clear, steady, and fully alive.

  • Slow your system down and release stored tension from the body.
  • Experience deep breathwork journeys and somatic practices.
  • Connect with men who are also choosing growth, honesty, and courage.
  • Leave with practical tools for nervous system regulation and daily life.
What you’ll step into

Breath, Embodiment & Brotherhood in the Pines

  • Guided somatic breathwork journeys to open the body and clear emotional fog.
  • Embodiment, mindful movement, and Qigong to bring you back into presence.
  • Grounding practices for nervous system regulation and resilience.
  • Sacred men’s circles for honest, unmasked sharing and reflection.
  • Time in nature on a quiet forest property—space to hear yourself again.

This is for you if:

  • You’re stuck in your head and feel disconnected from your body.
  • You crave brotherhood but often feel alone or “on your own island.”
  • Your life looks good on paper, but inside you feel numb, anxious, or restless.
  • You’re ready for a reset—and to step into the next chapter with more courage and clarity.

Kyle Leighton – Embodied Brotherhood

Meet Kyle

Breathwork & Embodiment Coach · Founder, Embodied Brotherhood

I’ve walked this path myself—from overthinking, burnout, and loneliness to a more grounded, connected way of moving through the world. Breathwork and men’s work helped me come home to my body, my truth, and my relationships, and that’s what I’m here to offer you.

I hold space with humility, presence, and a deep respect for your process. This retreat isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating the conditions for you to remember the man you already are.
