Open Source

Join us this November as we return to the barn where EVRYMAN was born for a weekend of self-discovery, transformation, and fun. Whether you’re an Open Source veteran or new to the experience, you’ll find a community of like-minded men ready to become your band of brothers. Space is limited, Register today.

Experience Open Source

Filled with brotherhood, good food, time in nature, and more. You will be tested, and you can expect to return home recharged and ready to be a more present, intentional and connected version of yourself. 

Our practices are based in science and developed over more than 3 decades of working with men. We’ll be getting you out of your head into your body to reconnect with tools that are already in you. Reignite your power and purpose, unpack the baggage that’s weighing you down, awaken your vigor and vitality. 

A core of EVRYMAN’s ethos and success is emotional safety. You are immediately accepted. No matter how separate or different you feel you are from other men, you are not alone. Differences are celebrated, and we find much of our story we share in common.

Three days of connection, challenge, and celebration.

As men, we’re usually taught that if we feel things we need to suppress, ignore and control them – and anything else would be unmanly. 

The truth is, for thousands of years our feelings, our senses and awareness, were core to our survival as a species. They were our superpower, and without the ability to listen to them we wouldn’t have survived. Fast forward to today and even though life has grown more complex and intense, men have been taught to go without one of their most basic and important survival tools.

Tap back into the fullest version of yourself at the 2024 Open Source Retreat.

8 Year Anniversary — Open Source

Race Brook Lodge, Sheffield, MA

About this Open Source

Eight years ago, 24 men ditched the daily grind and converged in the Berkshire Mountains for a weekend that was anything but ordinary. That’s where EVRYMAN was born. Fast forward to this November: we’re heading back to where it all began. This isn’t just a retreat; it’s a dive into self-discovery, transformation, and, yes, a damn good time. If you’ve been to an Open Source retreat, consider this your homecoming. If not, consider this your invitation – it’s time to get real.

Ready to start—or restart—your journey toward becoming the man you know you can be? Join us and a group of like-minded men who won’t just be your friends – they’ll be your brothers.

This is not your typical weekend getaway. It’s 50 guys, 5 leaders, and one mission: transformation. We strip away cultural norms and get raw—honest, vulnerable, and real. We’re talking about digging deep into self-discovery, strengthening emotional resilience, and building real connections through group challenges. You’ll ground yourself in the wild, get your hands dirty, and unleash some well-earned fun.

We’ll eat good food, laugh, and align our hearts with our purpose. By the end of the weekend, you’ll feel lighter, both emotionally and mentally, with a new band of brothers who’ve got your back.

You should be. This isn’t a walk in the park. It’s intense, challenging, and demands more honesty from you than you’ve probably given in years. You’re asked to trust us and a group of strangers, but know this: we’ve crafted an experience that’s as supportive as it is straightforward. No secrets, no hazing, no mumbo jumbo. Just real talk and real connection. That’s what sets us apart and what makes this work.
Imagine 50 guys in a cabin for a weekend with nothing but nature around. You’d already have a transformative experience just by being there. But we take it further. Our goal is to create a space where you can fully let your guard down and be yourself. Nature is the ultimate backdrop for this—pure, uncomplicated, and grounding. It’s not just the air you breathe or the space you roam; it’s the connection it fosters, both within yourself and with those around you.
  • Every man has a life changing experience.
  • Every man gets closer to his true self.
  • Every man walks away with practical tools for real life.
  • Every man experience true brotherhood
