The Advancing Man: A Winter Sojourn into the Wild Embrace of the Elements

January 9-14th

Step into the heart of winter’s majesty at the Eastern Sun Temple, nestled within the breathtaking expanse of Mount Brennan Lodge. Here, where the serenity of snow-clad peaks meets the profound silence of the forest, the Rise and Shine Academy invites you to a transformative journey like no other. "The Advancing Man" retreat is an extraordinary confluence of backcountry adventure, ceremonial introspection, and the forging of deep brotherhood, designed for men who are ready to embrace their highest potential and forge a powerful legacy.

Exclusive Opportunity:

This intimate retreat is open to only 10 qualified men, ensuring a curated atmosphere of excellence and camaraderie. Each participant must bring not only a commitment to personal and legacy growth but also the necessary backcountry ski experience and appropriate gear to navigate the rugged mountain terrain safely and effectively.

Inspired by Legacy: Drawing inspiration from Wallace Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, and specifically the concept of the "Advancing Man"—a man who moves forward with unwavering certainty, purpose, and alignment—this experience is designed for those ready to shape a life of impactful legacy. You will explore how to harmonize your personal aspirations with actions that create lasting value, impacting not just your life but those of generations to come.

Key Retreat Components:

  • Medicine: Engage in sacred plant ceremonies (ayahuasca) that offer deep introspection and connectivity to the infinite intelligence within. These transformative sessions are designed to clear mental clutter, heal past wounds, and fortify your sense of inner sovereignty, providing clarity and vision that will illuminate your path to building a meaningful legacy. In the arms of the Grandmother medicine we find ourselves held in the loving essence of all things and release the limitations holding us back from living in our hearts.

  • Mountains: Embrace the raw power of nature as your catalyst for transformation. Spend exhilarating days skiing or snowboarding through pristine backcountry powder, each turn and trail a dance with the elements. This rugged beauty of the mountains will ignite a primal connection to the earth, fostering mastery and a profound sense of accomplishment.

  • Men: At the heart of the journey is the power of brotherhood. Join a circle of high-caliber men, all committed to advancing in life, business, and purpose. Together, through shared stories and experiences, forge bonds of camaraderie that will support and uplift each individual’s vision.
