The New Masculine's 2026 Men's Gathering
When: September 19 & 20, 2026
Location: Wild Horse Mountain Farms - Sherwood, OR
What is this Men's Gathering?
A transformative men's retreat where you'll come face to face with the man you're becoming — and everything that's been standing between you and him. Here, horses give you the kind of honest feedback most people in your life never will, and a group of growth-oriented men hold the space to do something real with it.
Why Horses?
Horses don't respond to your title, your reputation, or the version of yourself you want people to see. They respond to what's actually happening inside you — your energy, your tension, your presence in this moment.
What they reflect is hard to argue with and impossible to fake. A clear, unfiltered look at who you are and how you navigate the world.
No previous horse experience is needed. All exercises take place on the ground. No riding involved. More about this equine-assisted experience below.
What to Expect:
Day 1: Enter the Herd
We'll start with the horses. You'll enter a pre-established community with its own norms, power dynamics, rhythms, and flow. There's a lot in the environment that you'll have to sense quickly, but what's more revealing is what they're sensing in you.
What you'll encounter:
- The unspoken things you bring into every room — and every herd
- Your habits and reactions that show up before you even notice them
- What you've been carrying that's making life more difficult
Day 2: See Who You Become
We'll deepen your experience by engaging in group and individual activities with the horses and the other men. You'll move from awareness into embodiment — practicing, in real time, who you're becoming.
What you'll discover:
- The gap between who you've been and who you're capable of being
- What's possible when you're no longer living inside an outdated story
- What changes when your thinking, feeling, and actions finally line up
What This Gathering Will Help You Do:
- Respond to your emotions with more clarity and compassion
- Improve the quality of your personal and professional relationships
- Release the weight you've been carrying inside
- Define and embody the type of man you want to be
- Grow in an environment that is both supportive and challenging

What Will You Do With the Horses?
In this horse-assisted experience, there are no halters, no saddles, no typical control tools. You'll simply be invited to show up and be present to the relationship itself. Whether you're standing close, creating space, or moving together, the horse will respond to exactly what it feels in you. That response is feedback. Immediate, honest, and impossible to misread.
What emerges is a direct window into how you actually show up. Not how you intend to. Not how you think you do. The patterns that shape your relationships, your leadership, and your sense of self become visible in real time. When something doesn't work, we'll explore what that means for you, experiment with new ways of being, and watch how the horse responds.
This is the cornerstone of the gathering and where a lot of men find what they came for.
