Modern life asks men to carry a lot—responsibility, expectations, pressure, and the constant demand to keep moving. The Grounded Man creates space to slow down and notice what has been lost beneath the noise. Through guided reflection, honest conversation, and shared experience, you’ll reconnect with the values, relationships, and commitments that matter most.

This is not about becoming someone new. It is about stripping away the pressure to perform and returning to a steadier way of being. Together, we’ll explore what it means to lead, connect, and move forward from a place of presence rather than pressure.

These three days are designed to help you step away from the noise and reconnect with what’s real

Paul Widman is the founder of Soul Guided Men and has spent years guiding men through transformational group experiences, retreats, leadership development, and one-on-one coaching. Known for his direct yet compassionate approach, Paul helps men break through the patterns that keep them stuck and reconnect with purpose, integrity, and authentic leadership. His work blends practical accountability with deep personal inquiry, creating powerful experiences that lead to lasting change.
The men who attend don't just leave with memories. They leave with greater clarity, deeper connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Men's Retreat was an incredible weekend for men coming together to grow through vulnerability. I experienced a powerful connection to nature, a beautiful connection with other men, and a love that's hard to put into words. This work is so important for building future leaders—men who can hold space for one another, laugh together, cry together, and grow together. I came home changed, and my wife and family noticed. If you know there's more in life you're being called toward, both for yourself and for others, I can't recommend this experience enough.
I've been on two of Paul's weekend men's retreats, and both have accelerated my personal growth. Ironically, the acceleration came from an intentional slowing down. Through Paul's leadership, alongside his co-leader Eli, I was able to let the noise of everyday life drop away long enough to actually meet myself. I discovered parts of myself I'm proud of and want to hold onto, and parts I'm grateful for while also realizing it was time for them to grow and mature. I'd highly recommend Paul's retreats to any man who wants to find out what's really happening behind his everyday masks.
