Jared Leto is described by some outlets as hosting a three-day wellness retreat on “Mars Island,” promoted as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans. The event is portrayed as including chanting and lounging barefoot in caftans, with Leto positioned as a central figure throughout the experience.

The coverage also appears alongside reporting about a later sexual assault scandal involving Leto, with some articles framing the retreat in that context. However, the details shared across the provided sources focus largely on the retreat’s setting and activities, rather than offering independent verification or broader documentation of how the event operated.

In the material supplied here, both outlets present similar descriptions and phrasing about the retreat, including the “cult” characterization, but they do not provide additional confirmation beyond their portrayal of what participants and observers reportedly saw.
