TENTH ANNUAL ZION MEN’S IMMERSION
May 13-20th, 2025
When a man is unwilling to move out of his comfort zone, breathe, and step into life:
He becomes but a husk of the fine-tuned & powerful embodiment that he was born to be.
His capacity to face the real-time risks of a courageously lived life weakens and wildness wanes.
His ability to stand strong and love through the challenges of intimate relationships is diminished.
Are you ready to explore this wild and pristine landscape while forging an unforgettable path to your inherent source, power, and wisdom?
Join renowned men's leader and spiritual teacher Eli Buren on the "journey of a lifetime" into greater depth, meaning, and freedom!

"The men’s immersion in Zion was one of the most important and powerful things I’ve ever done for myself. And it was returning home where I was met by the most sincere feedback of how powerful it actually was.
First from my wife, who was amazed of the stark difference between the man that left, and the solid and still presence of the man that had returned.
And second, from a friend I play in a band with. I had a show scheduled for the day after my return. As a professional musician I was concerned that being away from my instrument for over a week would be noticeable, especially to my bandmates. But as I began to take my first solo I quickly noticed a level of inner freedom and spaciousness I hadn’t ever had access to prior to Zion. When I finished with this improvised solo this friend looked at me with raised eyebrows, and simply said “shit, every man should go to Zion.” It was then that I really knew something profound and deep had shifted within me."

"I experienced a type of leadership in this immersion that I was beginning to think didn’t exist: Eli showed up as a centered, humble, and wise leader willing to hear and integrate feedback in real time. He owned his space and role with grace and clarity. His consistent focus on the experience of the group kept us present with one another, even through conflict. I resonated with the importance he placed on ritual and ceremony, and the applied wisdom of how these cultivate and contain an experience. What touched me most about the immersion was the container: the natural surroundings, both vast enough and clearly defined as to provide a visceral sense of freedom and safety in which to do, and celebrate, the deep, essential work of the masculine."
- Sean Talbot
"Eli embodies rarely found qualities that spoke to my soul. A combination of honor, depth, strength, love, and a sense of sacredness to everything he brings. He is as authentic as it gets for true spiritual seekers looking for a combination of challenging outdoor adventure, silence, brotherly love, and healing. Thank you Eli! "
- Jandro
"Eli has an uncanny ability to provide sharp accountability while holding space in a gracious manner that demands personal growth and introspection."
