May 2 – 7, 2025
Siargao, Philippines
In today’s world, men are expected to be strong, resilient, and carry it all alone. But the constant pressure can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or uncertain about your purpose.
My name is Vish Uttam, founder of Surf, Sweat, Soul. I understand the weight you’re carrying because I’ve faced similar challenges—burnout, personal crises, and a struggle to find meaning. It was through breathwork, brotherhood, and reconnecting with my purpose that I transformed my life, and now I want to guide you through that same journey.
This isn’t just a getaway—it’s a 5-day immersive experience designed to help you overcome the barriers that hold you back. You’ll gain practical tools for managing stress, building resilience, and redefining your purpose, all while surrounded by men who understand your journey.
In a society that often dictates stoicism and suppresses vulnerability, the burden of carrying our struggles alone can weigh heavily on the soul. But within the sanctuary of men’s retreats, like ours, you’re invited to shed that weight, release inhibitions, and embrace the full spectrum of your humanity. Here, tears are as welcome as laughter, authenticity is celebrated, and healing begins.
Men’s retreats offer more than just a temporary escape from daily routines; they provide a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth in a supportive and nurturing environment. It’s an opportunity to recharge your mind, body, and spirit, equipping yourself with practical tools for self-care and stress management. With activities catering to every aspect of your being, from physical challenges to spiritual introspection, our retreat offers a holistic approach to wellness.
Let’s face it, life can throw some serious curveballs, and the pressure to remain tough and unyielding can leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. But at our retreat, we encourage authenticity and vulnerability, recognizing that true strength lies in the courage to ask for help when needed. So, whether you’re navigating a personal crisis or simply seeking a deeper sense of purpose, know that you’re not alone. Join us, and together, we’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery, brotherhood, and renewal.
Dive headfirst into the exhilarating world of surfing, as you conquer the waves and conquer your fears. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time rider, our expert instructors will guide you through the nuances of the ocean, helping you find your balance both on and off the board. Surfing is not just a sport – it’s a metaphor for embracing life’s challenges with courage and resilience.
Channel your inner warrior with daily boxing sessions, as you unleash the power within and reclaim your strength. Through the precision of your punches and the rhythm of your breath, you will tap into a reservoir of resilience and determination that knows no bounds. Boxing is more than just a physical workout – it’s a cathartic release of pent-up energy and emotion.
Connect deeply with your inner self through guided breathwork sessions. These sessions help release tension, heal past trauma, and provide clarity and peace.

But our offerings extend beyond the physical realm, encompassing a rich tapestry of experiences designed to nourish the soul.

At Surf, Sweat, Soul, your 5-day retreat is a journey of transformation, designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Here’s what you can expect during this immersive experience:
Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Vish embarked on a journey fuelled by passion and determination, building award-winning businesses across various industries, from real estate to hospitality to outsourcing, including founding the Australian Rum Awards. But amidst his professional triumphs, life threw unexpected challenges his way, forcing him to question everything—his work, happiness, and relationships.
Over the years, I’ve founded and grown more than 10 companies, each one contributing to a combined revenue of close to $10M. My journey has spanned diverse fields—real estate, hospitality, mortgage broking, and outsourcing—earning me multiple awards and recognition along the way.
Struggling with a personal separation, physical health issues, and existential doubts, Vish found himself at a crossroads. He explored various holistic modalities, from hypnotherapy to reiki, until he discovered the transformative power of meditation and breathwork. These practices became pillars of his healing journey, leading to profound inner change.
As part of his search for deeper meaning, Vish attended a men’s retreat, where he discovered the vital importance of brotherhood. Surrounded by men facing similar challenges, he realized that he wasn’t alone—and that by supporting one another, men could collectively heal, grow, and find strength. This experience transformed his understanding of connection, vulnerability, and shared growth.
Now, as a certified breathwork instructor, coach, and adventurer, Vish seeks to share this journey with others through Surf, Sweat, Soul. His vision is to create a sanctuary where men can find healing, connection, and growth, just as he did. Vish leads the retreat with authenticity, helping men tap into their full potential.
At Surf, Sweat, and Soul Retreat, we’re not just another getaway – we’re a tribe of men on a mission. Founded by Vish Uttam, a fellow seeker of truth and adventure, our retreats are all about helping guys like you tap into your full potential.
We created this space for men to come together, share their experiences, and support one another on their paths to fulfillment.
We believe in the power of community and the strength that comes from connecting with others who are walking a similar path. That’s why we’ve cultivated a culture of brotherhood and camaraderie, where every man is welcomed with open arms and encouraged to embrace his authenticity.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or embarking on your first retreat, you’ll find a supportive community of like-minded men who are here to uplift and inspire you.
Together, we’ll explore the depths of our souls, push our boundaries, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more connected than ever before.
As men, we wear many hats – father, husband, son, brother, provider – and with each role comes a weight that can feel overwhelming at times. Society expects us to be stoic, unyielding, and strong, but beneath the surface, we’re often struggling to keep it all together. We turn to distractions like TV, alcohol, or isolation, hoping to numb the pain and escape from the pressure.
But the truth is, we’re not alone in this struggle. At Surf, Sweat, Soul, we recognise the challenges men face in today’s world, and we’re here to offer a sanctuary for healing and growth. It’s a space where vulnerability is embraced, where authenticity is celebrated, and where men can come together to support one another on their journeys.
My own path led me through dark times – a separation, old wounds resurfacing, nights lost to drinking and searching for meaning. But amidst the chaos, I found channels of healing that transformed my life. I discovered the power of breath, the strength of brotherhood, and the joy of reclaiming my inner warrior. And it’s this journey that inspired me to create a space where other men can find solace and support.
Surf, Sweat, and Soul Retreat isn’t just about riding the waves of life with courage and resilience; it’s about embracing the holistic journey of self-discovery. It’s about connecting with nature, delving into the depths of our beings through transformative breathwork, and embarking on a journey that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual growth. It guides us towards greater clarity, presence, and purpose in every aspect of our lives.
Emerging from this experience, we carry with us a profound toolkit for personal growth and resilience. Equipped with these newfound insights and skills, we step back into our lives with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. We stand ready to be pillars of strength for our loved ones, to nurture and protect them with a depth of care that springs from a well of self-love and understanding. By prioritizing our own well-being, we become better partners, fathers, sons, and friends, capable of offering unwavering support and guidance. Through our own journey of self-discovery and healing, we unlock the capacity to love more deeply, to give more generously, and to live more authentically.
So to all the men out there who are struggling, who feel lost or alone – know that you’re not alone. There’s a community waiting to welcome you with open arms, to support you on your journey, and to help you become the best version of yourself. Here’s to finding healing, embracing vulnerability, and reclaiming our strength.
