A Bonding Adventure in Peloponnese, Greece


“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Mark Twain


 

Ray and Jason Crist

We invite you on this week-long Father and Son Retreat — a sacred journey to strengthen the bond between father and son, and to rediscover the beauty of the healthy masculine spirit.

During this week in beautiful Greece, surrounded by the sea, mountains, and sun, we’ll explore what it means to embody the healthy masculine archetypes — the Warrior, the Lover, the Magician, and the King. Through adventure, play, movement, and meaningful dialogue, you will reconnect not only as father and son, but as two men walking a shared path of growth and discovery.

Our Bonding Adventure

In a world where time moves fast and conversations often remain on the surface, the relationship between father and son can too easily become defined by roles and expectations rather than connection and understanding. Yet this relationship is one of the most powerful and formative in a man’s life — it shapes how we love, lead, and relate to the world. A healthy father–son bond fosters confidence, emotional balance, empathy, and mutual respect. It is a relationship that teaches both men — regardless of age — how to stand strong and open-hearted in life.

Together, you’ll engage in bonding experiences, team exercises, and transformative workshops that offer practical tools for deeper communication, emotional expression, and mutual support. You’ll share laughter, challenge, and reflection — and return home with renewed respect, clarity, and love for one another.

Jason and Ray decided early on that their relationship was important and that they would honor one another by exploring life together as much as possible. They have enjoyed exploring traveling and adventures together as well as sports such as surfing, snowboarding, dirt biking, sailing, zip lining, archery and much much more... 

They both have a calling to share this with with as many fathers and sons as they can!
