Step Into the Wild. Return With Fire.
Some growth happens in conversation. Some growth demands challenge. Longship Expeditions are immersive rites of passage—crafted to challenge your edge, reconnect you to what matters, and return you home with fire in your chest and clarity in your bones. Each retreat is a chance to strip away the noise, lean into discomfort, and rise beside men who are done playing small.
Our Signature Retreats:
The Ascent: Canadian Rockies
The Longship Expedition is a three-day, two-night rite of passage set amidst the towering peaks and crystal lakes of the Canadian Rockies. This immersive experience blends world-class hiking with deep personal reflection, camaraderie, and adventure storytelling. Each day challenges participants to push their physical limits while connecting to nature, themselves, and their brothers beside them. Evenings around the fire feature guest speakers — elite explorers, mountaineers, and adventurers — who share their hard-won lessons from the edge of the world.
Guided by Longship’s principles of courage, connection, and resilience, this expedition is more than a trek — it’s a journey to reclaim strength, purpose, and brotherhood in one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on Earth.
The Archetype: San Diego, California
The Archetype Retreat is a four-day, three-night immersive experience led by Navy SEAL Commander and author Mark Divine in San Diego, California. This retreat is designed to forge mental toughness, deepen self-awareness, and awaken the archetypal warrior within every man.
Through a series of physically demanding challenges, breathwork, meditation, and team evolutions, participants will confront their perceived limits and discover what true resilience feels like in body, mind, and spirit. Each day blends rigorous training with reflective dialogue and education on the principles of integrated leadership, purpose, and service.
This is not a wellness getaway — it’s a crucible. The Archetype Retreat calls men to strengthen their inner foundation, reconnect with their highest values, and embody the resilience required to thrive in all aspects of life.
The Timbercall: Vernon, British Columbia
The Timbercall Retreat is a four-day, three-night immersive experience in the rugged wilderness of Vernon, British Columbia, led by expert facilitator John Trapp. Set at the El Refugio wellness centre, this retreat calls men to step beyond comfort and confront the unseen parts of themselves — their shadows.
Through guided shadow work, group process, and elemental ritual, participants will be invited to face the fears, stories, and wounds that quietly shape their lives. Each day weaves physical movement, silence, and reflection with John’s grounded facilitation style — blending modern psychology, mythic exploration, and raw honesty.
The Timbercall Retreat is not about escape; it’s about remembrance. It’s where men reclaim the lost pieces of themselves and return home lighter, truer, and more whole — ready to lead from authenticity and strength.
