No prior experience is required, however if you are new to this work, we will conclude together if this space will be suitable for. Although our retreats are designed to meet men exactly where they are. Whether you’re new to personal development and group work or have years of experience, all practices and processes are guided with clarity and support so you can participate at your own pace. We do recommend doing LV1 before LV2 but this is up to you.

Your personal experience and any material you share are treated with strict confidentiality. Participants agree to a shared standard: what is spoken in the space stays in the space. No stories, names, or personal disclosures are carried outside the group without explicit consent.

CONFIDENTIALITY

What is said and seen here stays here, you donʼt have permission to tell another persons story inside or outside of the container.

We take photos and videos of our trainings to a) normalise people doing the work and expressing emotions b) to promote ‘Men Of Earth’ so we can impact more people positively c) people often love having something to remember the experience. If you do not want to be filmed at any point please notify our media team and they will avoid filming you, we will also check before posting anything vulnerable on social media.

HONESTY

The more honest you are with yourself and others the more you will get out of this training. Being honest can be challenging and confronting, we invite you to meet that edge and avoid being hard on yourself if in some areas it takes some time. If something is worrying or concerning you, reach out to one of the core facilitator team, donʼt hold it.

OWNERSHIP

Take ownership over your thoughts, words and actions and the impact they have on you, others and the land.

Speak with “Iˮ statements especially when expressing thoughts and feelings.

If an issue arises with someone in the container we ask you to take ownership over solving it in a kind, compassionate and clear way. If you need support then raise it to one of the core facilitator team.

INTEGRITY

We do not accept racism, homophobia, misogyny or any type of prejudice in our containers. However this work is here to support the growth of the people here, if these are present and participants are open to explore held beliefs, it’s important we hold space for this.

No sex with self or other during the duration of the training, we ask you to hold the energy we are cultivating individually and collectively (this also applies to couples).

No using drugs or alcohol during the duration of the training. No using psychoactive plant medicines during the duration of the training.

If you use non psychoactive plants such as Hapeh or Mambe we ask that you use them alone and in private, not in the open container. We leave the land better than you found it, tidy up after yourself, be helpful and proactive at holding a sacred space.

CONSENT

We are creating a container where we want human connection to flow freely and naturally, at the same time we ask everyone to use self-awareness when it comes to consent, for example:

If someone has had a process ask them if they want to talk about it before opening up a conversation, they may want time to integrate before discussing it. Check in before touching / embracing someone if you think they may not want it in that moment.

EXPRESSION

We invite you to lean into your true and full expression with your voice, movement and emotions during the container.

We are all unique and from different backgrounds, we ask you to accept other peoples expression as much as your own.

The retreat is facilitated by experienced practitioners skilled in holding emotional processes, somatic work and grounded support. If strong emotions arise, you will be met with care, guidance and options for stepping out, receiving 1:1 presence, or finding regulation. You are never required to push beyond your limits. All participants will be sent a mandatory form before so we access where everyone is, emotionally, mentally and physically.

Men from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences are welcome. The environment is held with openness, respect and cultural sensitivity. The focus is on shared humanity, with an understanding that each participant’s path and story are unique.

You will be sharing a room unless you require private space, please speak to the team upon booking. The rooms are comfortable and designed to support rest and reflection.

Each day blends structured sessions with spacious time for rest, integration and personal reflection. We don’t reveal the schedule unless it is asked for, it’s important for us to change as we see fit as the week unfolds.

The schedule is intentional but not overwhelming. You will always have space to decompress and integrate.

To ensure depth, safety and personal attention, spaces are limited and not everyone who applies will join. Groups are intentionally kept small enough to maintain intimacy while still benefiting from collective energy. Exact numbers vary but you can expect 10-15 in Total.

To integrity in the container, deepen presence whilst respecting confidentiality:

• Our media team will be documenting the experience, but honouring the needs of participants should they arise.

• No content will be shared publicly without consent.

• Facilitators will also take some photography / filming.

• Phone use is discouraged and may be restricted to designated times or areas.

• Participants are invited into a temporary digital detox to support full immersion.

  Any exceptions will be communicated clearly.
