“I haven’t spent five days with five men in an exploratory experience since the early 90’s. What an exceptional experience, one I will cherish forever and have gained four exceptional friends in my life. I experienced pain in my gut that had been there since I was a child, unlike some “Aha” moments I have experienced, this occurs like a lifelong quest for optimum health. Michael and Yoni are two of the most centered, confident, compassionate and easy-to-be with men I have ever met. Their teamwork and partnership in every aspect of the retreat allowed me to relax and absorb an incredible amount of information and self awareness. I’ve started a meditation practice that I have been talking about for years. I start my day with the hydration practice and the Good Morning song that I dance to happily and if you knew me before the retreat I was not dancing anytime much less in the morning. The only reason I have not previously quit my job was because it provided a decent living. However, since the retreat my work has seemed effortless and actually enjoyable!”

“As someone somewhere said, “10 years of talk therapy reduced to 4 days” . I now understand that. Specifically, I gained clarity and deep insights into myself. I awoke to realize my connection with the world around me and a knowledge that everything is and will be ok. I learned to trust myself. I learned I am you. I learned how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I am no longer agnostic. Michael and Yoni were extremely supportive and tender with me in my first such experience in over 23 years. Thank you!!! The food was exceptional. The house they chose was fabulous. Being in a hot tub in the rain and snow was amazing in late June. My advice to those reading this is to trust that everything will be ok and just do it. I am so very grateful to you Mike, Yoni, as well as the rest of the group. It was revelatory and I am forever changed.”

“Attending the Men Of Integrity retreat led by Michael Tierno and Yoni Havana, has changed my life. I had not realized how much throughout my childhood, young adulthood, and my life now as a 49 year old man I allowed the hurts, disappointments and traumas I’ve experienced to rule the way I reacted to difficulty in life. I was essentially complicit in my own emotional bondage to these events. This retreat was exactly what I needed to set me free. The MOI retreat was challenging. It was also very comfortable given the absolutely beautiful location and the attention to detail, such as the healthy and satisfying meals provided, and the educational workshops we participated in together. The hosts are both amazing individuals and skilled in their respective disciplines. The lessons I learned will serve me immensely both as an individual, and in all of my relationships. I was witness to the transformation of three other men and I know the gift that was given me will be with me for the rest of my life.”
