A men's retreat for veterans and first responders
What is the UNcivilized Heroes Journey?
Four immersive days uncovering everything they never taught you about life outside the uniform.
This is not a retreat, this is an in-depth training experience to help you reclaim your sovereignty and become the most UNcivilized civilian you can be.
This is training for veterans and first responders*, taught by veterans and first responders.
Men who have been where you are and know where you’re trying to go.
Our team of self-development experts will guide you through workshops and activities that will provide you with invaluable tools to help you navigate the transitions of life, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a resilient mindset ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
Your well-being is our top priority.
Throughout the weekend, we will provide a comprehensive range of holistic wellness practices tailored to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.
From yoga and meditation sessions to outdoor adventures and therapeutic activities, we will ensure that you return home feeling revitalized and equipped with practical self-care techniques to sustain your well-being.

Starting on Thursday afternoon, November 7th, 2024, we’re taking a group of veterans and first responders, just like you, on a personal journey to
RECLAIM THEIR LIVES OUTSIDE OF MILITARY AND PUBLIC SERVICE, COME HOME TO THEMSELVES, AND BECOME THE MAN AND LEADER THAT THE WORLD NEEDS THEM TO BE.
If you’re reading this and you’re tired of apologizing for being a man or are confused as to how to express yourself in the world as a man outside of the military or public service—
WE WANT YOU WITH US.
For four days and three nights in a closed container we will commune as men, learn as men, and live as men.
This workshop is not for the uncommitted or the faint of heart. It will challenge you, reshape you, and change how you walk in the world as a man.
Your service to your country and communities is invaluable, but remember, investing in yourself is equally as important.
Our workshop is your opportunity to prioritize your personal growth and self-care to recharge, revitalize, and return to your everyday life with a newfound sense of purpose, resilience, and personal fulfillment.

Here’s what some of our graduates of our work have told us:
I thought I had made peace with the things I had done and the things I had witnessed.
I thought I had done the work I needed to do to keep myself healthy.
I knew I still had work to do, but I wasn't sure how to do it or what direction to go.
I found direction and guidance here, but what I am most grateful for is that I found the support I needed; a brotherhood of men traveling the path I was on.
–M.K., Veteran & Police Officer
This was by far the most unexpected powerful experience of my entire life. Not only did I find myself through this journey, I let go of things no longer serving me, and for the first time, I truly love myself. There are no words in the English dictionary that captures the power of a group of men coming together, ready to do the work. The most inspiring few days that will forever be embedded in my soul.
Life is good again!
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you ready to love yourself and find your renewed sense of purpose? If yes to one or both of those questions then this is where you need to be!
So much love and gratitude to the men at UNcivilized.
–D.S., Paramedic
I knew something was off, but I wasn’t quite sure what or how to even explain it. If this resonates with you, this UNcivilized experience is the start of doing something about it. It’s not a cult. It’s not woo-woo. It’s fellow men that actually understand and have tools to offer you. But it’s up to you to take the first step.
You will not regret it.
You are not alone.
–A.R., Police Officer
