Etz Chayim Men’s Retreat
December 5–7, 2025
Jesuit Retreat Center, Los Altos
The Etz Chayim Men’s Retreat is back! After the success of last year’s gathering, we’re
thrilled to offer another full weekend together—time to slow down, connect, and
recharge in the company of old friends and new.
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll have the chance to:
- Share - Laughter, talent show, conversation, and stories
- Learn - New ideas through the lens of Torah
- Play - Enjoy games, walk the trails, poker
- Relax - Breath, sing, sit quietly in nature, pray
Jesuit Retreat Center, Los Altos
We’ll return to the beautiful Jesuit Retreat Center in Los Altos, just minutes away yet
surrounded by 38 acres of oak trees, views, and trails—including a labyrinth for walking
meditation. Each participant will have either a private room or a double. Last year’s
participants spoke highly of both the venue and the experience.
Come join us among the oaks for a meaningful weekend of renewal, discovery, and
brotherhood.
The price of this year's Men's Retreat is $385.
If you prefer to be billed to your account and pay later, please make sure you’re logged in to your account on the website.
Scholarships are available for anyone who wants to attend. Nobody will be turned away for inability to pay. If you are requesting a scholarship, please complete your registration, choose "Bill Me", then contact Ellen Bob (ellen@etzchayim.org or 650-813-9094) to make a confidential payment arrangement.
Please note, cancellations after November 4th cannot be refunded unless another paying participant can be found to take your place. We make our financial commitment to the Jesuit Retreat Center at that time.
The retreat is open to anyone who identifies as a man or as non-binary.
Reservations open to non-members of Etz on November 4th on a space-available basis.
