Bodega Ridge Men’s Retreat

Galiano Island, BC | October 8-12, 2025

Guided by Kevin Courtney and Elliott Rector

A New Way to Connect

This October, I’m teaming up with my friend and colleague Elliott Rector to host a small men’s retreat on Galiano Island, British Columbia. We’ve designed it for men who carry real weight and responsibility, yet feel the pull to slow down, look beneath the surface, and ask what truly matters.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not a boot camp built on bravado or adrenaline.

This isn’t about fixing.

It’s a reset—a return to steady ground beneath achievement and performance. A chance to step back, get honest, and recalibrate.


What to Expect

Daily Practice Sessions — meditation, yoga nidra (non-sleep deep rest), qi gong (energy cultivation), restorative yoga

  • Time in nature — guided immersive hikes, forest trails, ocean air, fireside evenings, and space for the body to reset on its own.

  • INSIGHT Contemplative Sessions: a structured map for self-inquiry that awakens awareness, sharpens discernment, and deepens understanding

  • Nervous System Reset — breathwork and techniques to regulate the nervous system and create the conditions for intuition and fresh perspective

  • Brotherhood — honest conversation with men who understand the weight you carry

You’ll return clearer and lighter, with heightened awareness of what no longer serves, a solid connection to your values, and renewed clarity for what’s next.

Elliott Rector, Leadership Coach

Hi there, I’m Elliott.
I work with high-achieving professionals and purpose-driven teams to help them reconnect with their whole selves—so they can lead and live with greater clarity, presence, and joy.

For a long time, I chased a version of success that looked impressive from the outside. I was a new father and a lawyer on the partner track. But beneath the surface, I was stretched thin—disconnected from myself and the life I truly wanted.

Then came a wake-up call. Something had to shift.
Not because I was weak.
But because I had been pretending I didn’t have limits.

That moment cracked me open. It invited me to slow down, listen inward, and redefine success on my own terms. Now, as a leadership coach, I guide others through that same journey.

Whether you’re a leader navigating change, a team in need of alignment, or someone quietly asking, “Is this all there is?”—I’m here to walk beside you.

With presence. With partnership. And with deep respect for the wisdom you already carry within you.
