The retreat

Where change actually happens

An immersive gathering for Men seeking profound change. We work with mental, emotional, physical and spiritual practices so you can meet yourself fully and step into the man you know you can be.

We set agreements and speak honestly. We laugh more than you might expect. Some moments will challenge you, some will surprise you, and most will feel refreshingly real. For four days you step out of your routine and into a grounded space with other Men who are prioritising their growth.

We work with...
  • 01Embodied growth
  • 02Emotional integrity
  • 03Shadow work
  • 04Inner child work
  • 05Nervous system regulation
  • 06Somatic practice
Thursday 4pm to Sunday 4pm

Your 4 day
immersion

Four days, four elements. Each one builds on the last. Practice in the morning, deep group work in the afternoon, rest and ceremony in the evening.

Truth

Arrive and land

We arrive at 4pm, open the circle and set our agreements. Then we get honest about why you're here and what you're carrying.

No performing and no fixing. Just landing. By the end of the first night you've met the Men you'll walk this with, and said out loud why you came.

Ownership

Meet your strength

We start in the body. Movement, play and embodiment to meet your strength and learn to use it cleanly. Then we turn inward.

Where you give your power away, where you're out of integrity, and what's yours to own. By the end of the day you know what's yours to carry, and what isn't.

  • Integrity audit

Feeling

Go beneath

This is where the body leads. Breath, voice and movement to let what's been held finally move.

Then we grieve what needs grieving, and let go. By the end of the night you've felt what you've been carrying, and you're lighter for it.

  • Heart centred breathwork
  • Voice & dance

Leadership

Take it home

We turn to what's next. Who you're becoming, what you're committing to, and how you carry it into your life.

You leave with clear commitments, a letter to your future self, and a brotherhood that holds you to it.

  • Future self
  • Letter to self
