Digital-Free Farm-Bound Retreats

Solgorithm is a new retreat concept founded by Gavin Jocius, formerly of Sauna House. Located on a 34-acre farm in Hillsborough, North Carolina, this offering boasts immersive, phone-free experiences that blend natural surroundings, ritual practices, guided movement, meditation, breathwork, yoga, and endurance challenges.

The property includes open pastures, forest trails, a certified wildlife habitat, and horses. This creates an environment deliberately disconnected from digital pressures and algorithmic interruptions.

Solgorithm’s inaugural gathering, which is scheduled for June 2026, features a rare visit from a Tendai Buddhist living Deity from Japan, known as a Marathon Monk. This figure is among the few practitioners to have completed the Kaihōgyō, a 1,000-day spiritual and endurance practice involving approximately 25,000 miles walked over seven years, culminating in an extreme nine-day period without food, water, sleep, or rest. Participants will have the opportunity to walk alongside this monk, receive teachings on discipline and mental clarity, and learn from someone who has explored profound limits of human endurance and meditation.
