MEET THE MEN BEHIND
THE MOVEMENT.
Men whose paths converged in the jungles of Costa Rica—brothers not by blood, but by purpose.
Each brings something vital to the circle: somatic wisdom, warrior spirit, emotional depth, and decades of lived experience. Together, they don’t just guide this work, they embody it.

Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator
Patrick brings over 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, educator, and coach in the worlds of yoga, personal development, and conscious leadership. He’s walked the highs and lows of living a life dedicated to self-awareness, and he brings that lived experience into every TRP container.
After co-founding a successful in-person community, Patrick and his wife, Cameron, closed one chapter in 2020 to open a new one, choosing to expand their impact beyond previous models. Today, Patrick supports both individuals and organizations in aligning their professional goals, relationships, and inner life. His gift lies in helping people find the place where vision, values, and action meet.
At TRP, Patrick serves as a steady pillar. He holds space with presence, humor, and humility—guiding men into deeper congruence with who they are and how they lead. Off the mat, he’s a father, husband, and friend who values time in nature, soulful community, and living in the present.

The concept of leading a retreat where men can introspect within a supportive brotherhood resonates deeply with Conrad. With a lifelong passion for exploring men’s roles in the world, his path took a powerful turn eight years ago during a season of personal healing. In the process of rebuilding his marriage, Conrad turned toward men’s work as a space for reflection, growth, and accountability. What he found there not only helped him come home to himself. It ignited his current mission: to share these insights with fellow men.
With over 30 years running a successful chiropractic practice, Conrad brings a grounded understanding of the body and a deep respect for the power of presence. He’s also a seasoned coach and speaker, having shared his insights with thousands across stages, studios, and circles on how life choices shape long-term wellbeing.
Conrad guides TRP’s integration work, helping men apply what they uncover in retreat to real life. His energy is both structured and warm, firm and kind. Split between the jungles of Nosara and the rivers of Niagara, Conrad is a devoted husband, father to four, and soon-to-be grandfather. He brings a life’s worth of learning—and a heart wide open—to every circle he holds.

Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator
Kyle is the youngest of TRP’s co-founders, but the depth he brings is anything but surface. Born in Johannesburg and rooted in Costa Rica since 2012, his path has always been guided by a search for meaning, connection, and the kind of brotherhood that feels ancient and alive. What began as a personal journey of self-inquiry evolved into a life dedicated to building spaces where real transformation can happen.
Before TRP, Kyle co-founded a trauma-informed retreat company for women and launched a community health business. Through each chapter, Kyle has gathered tools for emotional healing, somatic exploration, and sacred space-holding. At TRP, he brings all of this to the circle, offering men a mirror, a guide, and a grounded presence that invites truth.
At his core, Kyle is devoted to authentic brotherhood within a tribal setting. His journey is rooted in the belief that the deepest power lies in self-discovery, collective connection, and the ancient wisdom of men’s work. While he navigates multiple conscious ventures by day, his essence remains anchored in creating spaces that feel real, relational, and alive.
Why We Lead This Work
In their own words, here’s what this work means to them and why they continue to serve.
Patrick Harrington: You’re Not Alone
Patrick shares how the Resiliency Men Project shifted his own experience of struggle. Brotherhood, he says, made him feel less alone and strengthened both his emotional and physical well-being.
Conrad Cowherd: Brotherhood is the Tool
Conrad reflects on the power of the container and the tools men leave with, from emotional regulation to knowing they’re not alone. For him, the lasting gift is brotherhood.
Kyle Mitri: This is Why I Serve
For Kyle, the transformation he witnesses in men, especially when they finally feel safe to let go, is proof that men’s work isn’t a trend. It’s a necessity.
What Makes Us Different
The Resilient Men Project isn’t just a men’s retreat. It’s a full-spectrum transformation — physical, emotional, and relational — anchored in long-term brotherhood.
Where most retreats end on Sunday, our work begins there.
We don’t drop men into intensity without giving them the tools to carry it forward. Instead, we build ecosystems of real support — containers that stretch beyond the retreat and into everyday life.
We blend emotional depth with somatic integration, leadership work with real brotherhood. Men don’t just leave with insight, they leave with capacity. To feel more. To hold more. To lead with more presence, at home and in the world.
Here’s what our men consistently walk away with:
More calm, clarity, and capacity under pressure
Deeper emotional presence — in relationship, in family, in life
Tools that live in the body: breathwork, movement, and conscious communication
Stronger boundaries, grounded in self-respect
Renewed purpose, vitality, and direction
And a real brotherhood — one they don’t have to carry it all alone in
We don’t do surface. We do real. And for the man who’s ready to lean in even when it’s uncomfortable — that difference is everything.
