RETREAT FACILITATION
Experienced Guides. Intentional Structure.
We build containers that move people.
We design and facilitate high-impact retreats for leadership teams, founder groups, and men’s organizations.
Since 2022, we have designed and led high-challenge experiences for men through Unrationed.
Our retreats blend:
- Physical challenge
- Structured conversation
- The Threshold Framework
- Honest peer reflection
- Intentional downtime
We’ve led 14k ft. summits, 16 hour jungle explorations, 24 hour circumnavigations, surfing expeditions, and ultra endurance races.
We understand how to move groups through discomfort without losing cohesion.
We understand logistics.
We understand group dynamics.
We understand thresholds.
What to ExpectWe design and facilitate transformative adventure retreats for men.
From wilderness expeditions to customized endurance events for any physical fitness level, we build experiences that challenge and change lives.
Intentional StructureEvery retreat is built around clear objectives and designed thresholds.
Collaborative EnergyWe facilitate real conversations, not lectures. The group does the work.
We hold emotional and logistical center so leaders can participate fully.
Expert FacilitationA Threshold SpaceChallenge, reflection, and connection designed to create forward movement.
Who This is ForWe find ourselves providing the most value to:
✅ Entrepreneur peer groups
✅ Founder-led companies
✅ Executive leadership teams
✅ Faith-based small groups
✅ Men’s groups seeking challenge and adventure
We are probably not a good fit for:
❌ Groups looking for a relaxing getaway
❌ Teams that want entertainment more than transformation
❌ People unwilling to embrace physical or emotional stretch
❌ Groups expecting us to simply execute someone else’s loose agenda
❌ Teams resistant to honest conversation
❌ Events built primarily around comfort

Our GUIDES
Joshua Aranda
Co-Founder-
Joshua is the architect behind its experiential framework.
Since 2022, he has designed and led high-challenge wilderness expeditions, endurance events, and structured men’s retreats built around physical thresholds and honest conversation. His work sits at the intersection of adventure, identity formation, and intentional leadership.
Joshua specializes in designing containers that stretch people without breaking them — balancing logistics, physical challenge, and emotional depth. From 14,000-foot summits to 24-hour endurance efforts, he understands how to sequence experience in a way that creates real internal shift.
His facilitation style is calm, direct, and grounded. He asks the hard questions. He creates space for silence. And he knows when to push.
At Unrationed, Joshua focuses on retreat design, The Unrationed Year, and threshold execution.
