The “Living with No Excuses” retreat is a multi-day experience led by Noah Galloway – military hero, double-amputee, combat veteran, fitness expert, personal trainer, motivational speaker, and author – for men and women ready to make a change or experience a rebirth to live life to the fullest – with No Excuses.
Over the course of this three-night, four-day intimate retreat, Noah will share his personal journey and discuss how he has triumphed over trauma and overcome many unforeseen obstacles while providing insight and lessons learned from his life-changing injuries and the powerful way he turned his life around.
Noah will lead candid discussions about the healing power of telling your story, and how writing his own memoir was a cathartic part of the work he has done, and became a turning point in his life. Intention setting and thoughtfully crafted writing workshops will activate your creativity, help you bring your story to life, and prepare you for creating and manifesting your own legacy.
This inspiring retreat will focus on the importance of fitness, movement, meditation, wellness, and nutrition, with custom programming and workshops, as well as Noah’s favorite, highly-effective, circuit-style functional training workout geared towards conquering everyday movements. Noah’s wife Amanda, a Yoga & Meditation Instructor and Holistic Health Coach, will lead guided yoga and breathwork sessions with Noah to restore and rejuvenate.
Equal time will be spent inspiring your mind with talks and interactive workshops, as well as nourishing your body with spa & healing arts treatments and the world-class, plant-forward cuisine and amenities at Shou Sugi Ban House, the Hamptons’ first award-winning, luxury wellness retreat and spa.

WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER
Explore thoughtfully crafted writing prompts to activate your creativity and inspire evolution from within.

Through the practice of yoga, we learn to tap into the spaces of our mind that are often inaccessible. Release energy that is no longer serving you, and say hello to the version of your life that you want to live in NOW.
