About this Event
Windhorse Rising is not simply a weekend away. It’s an intentional interruption.
For three days, a small group of men will step away from work, responsibilities, phones, routines, and everyday noise to slow down and take an honest look at three important questions:
Who am I?
Where am I going?
What needs to change?
Set on a private property in beautiful New Paltz, NY, Windhorse combines leadership training with brotherhood, personal challenge, reflection, and time in nature.
Expect leadership and personal-growth workshops, guided breathwork, cold exposure, movement, hiking, men’s circles, honest conversations, journaling, shared meals, time around the fire, and space to think.
This is not about pretending to have everything figured out. It’s about getting honest about where you are, becoming clearer about where you want to go, and deciding what you’re willing to do next.
And the work doesn’t end Sunday. Pre-experience preparation and post-experience integration and follow-up help turn what you discover into meaningful action back home.
Only 10 men will attend—and that’s intentional. Deep work requires space.
Get out of the noise. Come back different.
