Retreats and immersions

Men's Retreats Canada

Longship retreats are not a weekend escape with better branding. They are physical, reflective, and leadership-focused immersions for men who want the work to become harder to avoid.

  • The Ascent — Canadian Rockies
  • The Archetype — with Mark Divine
  • The Timbercall — British Columbia
  • 3-4 day immersions

Before you plan a Longship retreat

A retreat is a stronger commitment than joining online or attending a local event. Start by reading the retreat descriptions, checking current event timing, and joining Longship if you want early access where member access applies.

  1. Read the Longship Retreats page for the three listed retreat formats.
  2. Check Events for current timing instead of assuming a date.
  3. Review Memberships if member access or early release matters.
  4. Contact Longship if you need current availability, requirements, or travel details.

The retreat lineup

Longship currently names three retreat or immersion formats. They are different experiences, not interchangeable SEO labels: The Ascent in the Canadian Rockies, The Archetype in San Diego with Mark Divine, and The Timbercall in Vernon, British Columbia.

  • The Ascent: mountain terrain, hiking, reflection, camaraderie, and adventure storytelling
  • The Archetype: physically demanding team evolutions, breathwork, meditation, and integrated leadership training
  • The Timbercall: wilderness, guided shadow work, elemental ritual, movement, silence, and reflection

Dates, pricing, and access

Each retreat is announced as a release: dates, price, fitness requirements, and travel details come out together when registration opens. Between releases, the formats below are the standing lineup. Members get first access and member pricing; everyone else can watch the Events page or ask directly.

  • Dates and pricing are published with each retreat release
  • Members hear first and get member pricing
  • Fitness and travel requirements come with the release details
  • Contact Longship anytime for current availability

What kind of work happens

The common thread is pressure plus reflection. The retreats connect to the 4 Mountains, Kokoro, council-style processing, physical challenge, leadership standards, and the practice of becoming steadier outside normal routine.

What this is not

Longship should not be read as promising a generic wellness vacation, a clinical treatment, or guaranteed transformation. The retreat language points toward challenge, terrain, accountability, group process, and leadership practice.

Dates, pricing, and requirements are released with each retreat announcement. Members hear first.
