Who this experience is for
You may be carrying prolonged stress, feeling burnt out or isolated, navigating a major life change, or noticing that your usual habits and coping strategies are no longer helping. You may have lost direction, feel emotionally overwhelmed, or know that something needs to change without being sure where to start.
Rowan House offers a place for practical learning and honest conversation. The programme is broader than substance-use concerns: it explores the routines, patterns, relationships and responses that shape everyday life.
Before joining, a conversation with Yosef helps you understand the approach, explain what you are looking for and discuss whether the programme suits your needs.
What the week is intended to give you
Space to pause. A better understanding of your responses to stress. Tools you can practise. Connection with other men. A clearer sense of what you want to work on next.
The intention is not to solve every difficulty in seven days. It is to create a supported beginning and continue that work after you go home.
Explore the SPR approach
The programme pathway
SPR — Stabilization, Process and Reintegration.
A structured introduction to practical skills, healthier routines, reflection and connection.
Stabilize
Understand nervous-system regulation, grounding and the routines that support steadier daily life.
Learn & practise
Explore patterns, self-awareness and practical skills through morning and afternoon sessions.
Reintegrate
Take learning into everyday life with six weeks of continued integration and group support.
What the residential week includes
Seven overnight stays, meals prepared by Indiana, two daily sessions within 8 a.m.–3 p.m., and space for rest, movement, reflection and conversation. Guests can share allergies, dietary needs and food preferences in their private participant area. Indiana’s weekly menu will be added later.
The intention is to interrupt the usual cycle, build awareness and begin moving forward. Continued support helps participants apply what they have learned after returning home.
Stay, learn, practise and reconnect.
Give yourself a week to focus on what comes next. This is an overnight residential experience. You stay at Rowan House for the week, take part in morning and afternoon sessions, and have space between structured learning for meals, rest, movement and conversation.
A typical residential day
The programme runs within 8 a.m.–3 p.m., with two sessions. The timetable below is a proposed starting structure; Yosef will confirm the cohort’s actual schedule.
Meals and your stay
Indiana prepares meals and manages the shopping for the residential week. Before arrival, you can share allergies, intolerances, dietary requirements, foods you prefer and special requests for her to review. Her weekly menu will be added when ready.
The stay takes place at Rowan House itself. Room arrangements, the venue address, accessibility information, arrival and departure times, and a packing guide will be confirmed before a real booking is accepted.
Space beyond the sessions
Structured learning is only one part of the week. Time to slow down, reflect and connect helps you notice how the programme relates to your own life. Rest and conversation sit alongside the practical work.
You leave with strategies and a clearer understanding of what you need to keep working on. The next part of the programme gives you a way to continue.

YOUR SPACE AT ROWAN HOUSE

Six screened sleeping bays in one shared guest room. Three on each side, with short screen returns for visual privacy and a clear centre walkway. Sessions with Yosef take place elsewhere.
AvailableHeldBooked / closedDivider run
Proposed Model 3 layout, drawn to the stated room proportions. Rear sleeping zone: 22 ft; front shared zone: 16.5 ft. Side zones: 8 ft each. A low-pile runner defines the centre route; its final width and length need measurement. Each bay: approximately 8 × 7.33 ft. Short screen returns sit inside the side zones, with approximately 3 ft open entrance gaps shown in this concept. Twin mattress footprints are 39 × 75 in; frame outlines and screen feet still need checking. Entrance arrow is approximate until its offset and swing are measured.
Support after your stay.
After the residential week, the package includes six weeks of SPR integration and group support online. This is the bridge between learning in a supported setting and using that learning in your everyday routines, relationships and responsibilities.
Follow-up session dates, frequency and Zoom arrangements will be confirmed for your cohort. The six weeks included in the residential package are distinct from separately booked online groups, Skills & Integration sessions, individual occupational therapy and future programmes.
A community you can remain connected to
After the included programme, you may choose to stay connected through wider Rowan House programming, resources, weekly Lives and peer connection. You do not need to complete another residential retreat to remain part of that wider community. Availability and any separate charges will be explained before you register.
