What is a men's retreat? What happens there? Why go to one, and who is it for? I spoke with Owen Marcus, founder of MELD, on my life-changing experience attending my first retreat almost exactly 1 year ago.

Owen is a legend in this space - he has worked alongside Peter Levine. Esther Perel has attended his retreats. Owen has been working, training, and organizing men's groups and retreats for over 30 years.

Highly recommend listening to this if you've been even remotely curious about the topic – this might be my favorite episode of the year.
