The Sedona Men's

Retreat

The Sedona

Men's Retreat

October 24-26, 2026. Three days on the land. Ten men. The work, undiluted.

Breathwork, intuitive coaching, ceremony, and the kind of brotherhood that's hard to find anywhere else.

Discovery call required · Spots limited

- Sessions available in English and Spanish

- Limited to 10 men

Not a wellness weekend.

This retreat isn't a sampler. It's three days for men who already know something needs to move and are willing to sit with what comes up when it does.

If you came to feel good for a weekend and leave unchanged, this isn't the right one. If you're past that, read on.

You're not broken. You're covered over.

Most retreats sell transformation as something you'll acquire. This one operates differently because Michael's premise is that you're already whole. The patterns, friction, and noise you're carrying aren't who you are. They're what's obscuring who you are.

That distinction changes how three days unfold.

What three days actually looks like

Each element is here for a reason. Nothing is filler.

01

Breathwork

Multiple sessions across the weekend, each with a specific intent. Trained in the LOKA School of Yoga lineage - classical pranayama with modern nervous system work alongside.

02

Ceremony

Grounded in ancient practice, adapted for men who didn't grow up with this. Not performance, not a show. A structured way to mark what's shifting.

03

Intuitive coaching

One-on-one and small-group work with Michael. Where the breathwork opens something, this is where it gets named, looked at, and integrated.

04

Time on the land

The Sedona landscape isn't a backdrop. Slow walks, silence, and unstructured time on red rock are part of the work.

Your Guide

Michael Pupiales

Michael doesn't teach from theory. His path has passed through addiction, self-doubt, and a meaning crisis that brought him face-to-face with his own shadow. A decade of work turned those wounds into tools. Vipassana meditation. Plant medicine ceremonies with indigenous elders. Somatic modalities. Shadow work.

He's certified in breathwork through the LOKA School of Yoga, trained in classical pranayama from the Vedic tradition. But credentials are secondary. What matters is that he's done the work himself, and he facilitates from that place.

1:1 coaching is the other entry point.

Not every man is ready for three days in Sedona, and not every man needs to be. Michael's monthly 1:1 coaching is where most men start. Same approach, different format.

30-minute discovery call · No pitch

If something here landed

The next retreat is October 24–26, 2026. The first step is a discovery call. A real conversation, not a sales pitch.

FAQs

Find answers to commonly asked questions about Sanatya and our services.

Who is this retreat for?

Men who are clear they want to do real inner work and ready to be challenged in the process. Background, age, and prior experience with breathwork or ceremony don't matter much. Readiness does.

What's the daily structure like?

Multiple breathwork sessions across the three days, ceremony work woven through, intuitive coaching individually and in small groups, and meaningful unstructured time on the land. Days are full but not packed — the pacing is designed to let things land.

What about lodging and meals?

Included. The only thing you need to worry about is getting here and back home. Logistics can be discussed on a discovery call.

Who's facilitating?

Michael Pupiales. Certified breathwork practitioner trained through the LOKA School of Yoga, working full-time in men's coaching, breathwork, and ceremony. More on the About page.
