From Armor to Essence: A Men’s Retreat
From Fear to Love. From Wounds to Wisdom.
Santa Fe, NM
This transformative men’s retreat is designed for those ready to lay down their armor and embody their true essence. Guided by the Emotional Healing System, you will journey through a safe and sacred process of emotional mastery, self-discovery, and spiritual renewal.
In the circle of brotherhood, you will learn to release the weight of old wounds, dissolve the walls that block intimacy, and step into the courage of vulnerability. Through guided practices, somatic healing, inner child connection, and heart-centered dialogue, you will awaken your capacity to love fully, lead authentically, and create relationships rooted in trust and compassion.
This retreat is not about quick fixes — it is a sacred initiation into the lifelong path of becoming a conscious man: grounded, open-hearted, and free.
What You’ll Experience During These 3 Transformational Days:
By the end of this retreat, you will:
Release the Armor — Identify and let go of protective patterns that no longer serve you.

I believe with all my heart that if we stay in the fire of transformation with courage and commitment, we can manifest the life our soul longs for.
We are not defined by our circumstances, appearances, or past. We are luminous beings—capable of healing, creating, and changing the world from the inside out. BIO

I’m honored to walk beside those who are ready to live more consciously and create a life of true fulfillment. Healing is not just possible—it’s our birthright. BIO
What Past Guests Are Saying:
My brother and I attended a private retreat at the Healing barn. Jana and Lance provided a very healing environment. Their combined knowledge is incredible and my brother and I immediately felt very comfortable to open up with them. They taught us about daily meditation and gave us many different techniques to deal with daily life in a healthy way. Our time there was truly life changing. The breathwork alone made a great impact on my daily life especially after the retreat. Jana and Lance were very attentive and truly, truly wanted to help my brother and I. They work from their heart and that had a big impact on me. I was able to connect with my inner child thanks to them and that continues to make a wonderful impact on my life. If you are even considering this retreat, just do it, it will impact every aspect of your life in a positive way.”

I had come to a point in my life where I had so many good things, and yet I felt unhappy and limited. I continued to go through periods of depression, despite psychotherapy, treatment with medications, regular exercise, and intermittent meditation. My medical practice was thriving, and completely under my control, and yet I felt controlled by it. I have a loving marriage, and yet I was not feeling the love, nor was my wife. I had been in psychotherapy many times over the years, and it had been helpful, but never really transformative or healing. After the 5 days I spent with Jana and Lance Wilson at the Healing Barn, I am transformed, and I am healing.”

“Before attending my healing retreat with Jana, I was angry and depressed. I was always in a rush and had a major cell phone addiction. I was missing out on my kids growing up because I was never present. My relationship with my wife was on the brink of disaster. All this because I was stuck in a spiral of negativity. I wanted to change and the first thing I did was seek out help. In the past I tried seeing therapists but they never seemed to help. They would listen to my problems but would never give me any clues as to how to actually change. The first thing that drew me to Jana was her website. It spoke to me in a big way. I found myself crying halfway through reading her homepage because it was exactly what I was looking for. After speaking with her by phone I knew she was the one that could help me find my true self and course correct my life. I booked for late November, 2018. During the retreat I was surprised at how much trust I developed with Jana in such a short period of time. There was absolutely no judgement from her and it helped me share openly. I went for 10 days and I highly recommend booking a retreat at least that long. The work is hard and you don’t want to have to cram it in to a shorter time frame. There is no other way to say this other than to say that Jana saved me. She turned me around 180 degrees. It was the most magical experience I have ever had. I was sad to leave when the 10 days was up but at the same time I was eager to put my training to the test in real life. Re-entry was great! Situations that would normally trigger me became a learning experience. Jana taught me to pause, take a deep breath and try to understand why I am being triggered. It has helped immensely since. Life hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns since my retreat but I can say with certainty that I am coping way better now. I project love and compassion with everyone and everything in my life. My cell phone addiction has slowed since I deleted social media from my life and I continue my healing journey with at home courses from a variety of experts. I am also following a passion of mine and starting a business which I would never have done without Jana’s help. If you are reading this, you must be seriously considering reaching out to Emotional Healing Retreats for help. Please, do yourself a favor and call. It will be the best money you ever spent. Jana is an incredible teacher. Peace, love and happiness awaits!

Before attending the private intensive I was feeling burned out on my career, my hobbies, my passions. I was stuck in patterns of focusing on all that I perceived was wrong in my life. Patterns of fixating on the past and mistakes that were made, or regrets for what never was. Or I would endlessly worry about the future and how bleak it seemed. I was unaware. A helpless passenger, along for the ride. The tools and techniques I learned at the private intensive empowered me to raise my awareness. This allows me to recognize negative thought patterns and to have the self-responsibility to replace them with positive, affirming thoughts. During the retreat I learned about some core wounds I developed as a child that were restraining me from living a rich life as well as tools on how to reparent the inner child and overcome what was holding me back. I was able to let shit go. Now I’m experiencing a renewed sense of self-confidence, motivation, and a positive attitude that I’m in the driver’s seat of my life. I knew the life I wanted. Now I know I’m worthy of it.
