Trusted by
You start to tap into your inner warrior, and feel more alive than you have in years.
This is what is possible for you when you come to a training retreat with us, and this is only the beginning. New Year’s Eve is a special time, and we have a group gathering locally to celebrate - plus an offsite rainforest trek with our crew of warriors in training.
Mark & Summer have curated this 7 Day Training retreat for their global training community to Refine skills, experience a training Immersion & take an adventure with other likeminded humans.
We chose to come back to Danyasa EcoRetreat center because of their roots in mythology & openness to host our non-conventional style of training - the Danyasa crew is amazing and we can’t wait to go back.
This is a world class, all inclusive and private training center, and we expect this retreat to sell out months in advance!
