Disconnect to Reconnect

If you feel you’ve lost your trajectory as a man, you must disconnect.
Get off social media. Immerse yourself in nature. Find the clarity you need.

  • ALL-INCLUSIVE

    We take care of all gear, logistics, and planning.

  • DISTRACTION-FREE

    Clear your calendar and live in the present.

  • SLOW LIVING

    Five days of finding calm and direction in God’s creation.

Austin's retreats are a transformative experience. You don't know how much you need to disconnect and find your center out in nature until you turn off your phone and work on becoming present again. I didn't want the retreat to be over.

About Us

I’m Austin, founder of ROAV. My life and the lives of many men have changed during these retreats. I feel a deep obligation to help as many men as possible experience the power of disconnecting in order to reconnect with the roots of who we are as men.

Our Mission

THE ROAV EXPERIENCE

Get into the woods. Separate from society for days on end. Retreat to your primal roots. Breathe morning mountain air. Build fires. Eat meat. Drink spring water. Fellowship.
Abandon anticipation & obligation.
