Private reflection time
Four days. The Sea of Cortez. A private villa. Elite coaches. A brotherhood of men doing the deepest work of their lives.
2026–2027 Retreat Dates — Limited to 15 Men Per Event
Most men go through their entire lives without ever being in a room — or on a beach, or under the stars — where they are fully honest about who they actually are. Not the professional version. Not the husband version. Not the "I'm fine" version. The actual man, with the actual weight he has been carrying.
Los Barriles is where that changes. A private villa on the hills above the Sea of Cortez. A small group of men selected for this experience. World-class coaches who have spent decades working with high-level men at the intersection of faith, purpose, and healing. And four days with nowhere to hide and no reason to pretend.
The men who come to Los Barriles leave different. Not because something was done to them. Because something was finally allowed to surface — and for the first time in years, maybe decades, they let it.
Every hour of the retreat is intentional. There is deep work and there is rest. There is group intensity and private solitude. There is teaching and there is silence. The environment does as much of the work as the sessions — because when a man is removed from his routines and surrounded by other men doing the same work, something shifts that cannot shift any other way.
The day begins before it gets loud. Sunrise on the terrace. Intentional breathing. Five minutes of specific vision for the day ahead. This is the practice the retreat teaches — and every morning it gets easier and more powerful.
Led by Jeff or by world-class guest coaches with decades of experience working with high-level men. Each session goes into a specific area of the BILD Six Pillars. No surface conversations. No polished performances. Just honest work.
Private journaling time. Group walks. Ocean swims. The side-by-side ride down the coast to a local restaurant where the conversations that need to happen in small groups happen naturally. Space is not empty time — it is where the work lands.
Most meals are catered at the villa. Breakfast is easy and relaxed. Lunch and dinner are moments of real connection — food, laughter, honest conversation. One lunch is the coastal ride. One dinner is the night you will not forget.
No phones. No distraction. The group sits on the beach, lies in the sand, watches the stars above the Sea of Cortez. These are the hours where something releases that could not release in a session. Men talk to each other like they have not talked in years.
This is not a schedule you survive. There is space to nap, walk alone, sit with what surfaced in a session. The retreat is designed for men to connect in the way that suits them best — not to force a mode that doesn't fit.
Every retreat brings in elite coaches who have spent decades working at the intersection of faith, psychology, trauma, and high performance. These are not speakers — they are practitioners who guide sessions based on their specific expertise in ways you won't find anywhere else.
Los Barriles is not a conference center. It is a private villa on the hills above the Sea of Cortez. The desert, the ocean, the silence, the sky at night — the environment itself creates conditions for depth that are impossible to manufacture in a hotel ballroom.
Not every man who applies attends. The group is curated so that every man in the room is there for the same reason: to do real work, not to observe it. The energy of the room is the most powerful thing about the retreat. A room of rare men doing deep work is unlike anything most men have experienced.
The retreat doesn't cover one topic. It works the full BILD arc — Powerlessness, Accountability, Co-Creation, Purpose, Forgiveness, and Imagination — through the lens of each man's specific life and specific moment. You don't get a general teaching. You get the teaching applied to you.
Before you arrive, a branded BILD care package ships to your door. Everything you need to show up ready — including the gear that marks you as part of this brotherhood. The retreat begins before you land.
The retreat doesn't end when you leave. Jeff personally follows up with every man 30 days after. The work that surfaces in Los Barriles needs time and support to land. That follow-up is built in.
Every man attending the Los Barriles retreat receives a branded BILD care package shipped directly to his door before the event. The retreat begins the moment you open it.
Your Los Barriles investment includes 6 months of The Rare Ones men's group at no extra cost — a $1,182 value. You leave Mexico with the brotherhood already waiting for you. The work doesn't stop when you fly home.
6 months of Rare Ones dues ($197 × 6 = $1,182) applied directly toward your retreat investment. The men who are already doing the weekly work get rewarded for their commitment — and arrive in Mexico ready to go even deeper.
