7-Day Immersive Retreat for Men in Midlife in Goa, India, Jun 2026
With Qusai Kathawala, Aditya Roy, Vishesh Kalimero and Mack Barreto
June 21 - 27, 2026
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a crossing.
Borderlands is a first-of-its-kind retreat in India:
* Crafted for men aged 35–60.
* Designed to address the real challenges of midlife.
* Integrating traditional wisdom and contemporary science—without dogma.
* Aligning thinking, feeling, and doing so you can live with clarity, compassion, and flow.
Life is shifting—career, relationships, identity, purpose. The 7-Day Borderlands Retreat is a deep-dive for men in transition. Seven days of structure, challenge, and honest reckoning to help you find what’s next — with courage, clarity, and wonder.
Seven days held by forest, firelight, and something older than talk. Martial arts and Qigong, wild forests and serene beaches, contrast therapy and sacred ceremony—within tropical modern luxury.
