I’m excited to introduce you all to my inaugural men’s retreat, happening this autumn in the beautiful Brandenburg countryside just outside Berlin. The retreat, which I’ve called “Reconnect With Yourself”, has been designed as an extended ritual to help you find the voice deep inside which knows what is right for you.
Some men knew themselves better when they were boys, but they were blown off course by family, school and later work. Others have glimpsed their true self from time-to-time, but do not manage to hold on to it. Most men have only a longing – temporarily filled by praise, sex, drink and drugs – for something more profound and connected. Whichever category you fit into, you will have an unforgettable experience.
Over four days, you will work on the father wound, understanding out-of-date coping mechanisms which hold you back, and awakening the Jungian archetypes of King, Warrior, Lover and Magician.
If you book before Easter, you will access a 20% Early Bird discount.
Our group of around twenty men will use the majestic woods and secluded lakes of the Brandenberg region as the setting for self-discovery in community.
A supportive space within nature and within a group to reconnect with yourself
A chance to challenge society’s expectations and gain a greater understanding of what it means to be a man
Express vulnerability without feeling judged
Break free from limiting beliefs
Develop better awareness of the present moment
Experience a like-minded and encouraging community
Develop better and deeper relationships with other men
Discover strategies for managing stress
By learning to open up to others in the group, you will find it easier to do the same with the significant people in your life
Achieve emotional authenticity and deeper self-confidence
Immersion in nature
Vegetarian food and an alcohol-free space
Digital detox
Psychological work – the key male archetypes of King, Warrior, Lover, Magician
Spiritual work – I will be using Jungian tools like Active Imagination to guide you on a vision quest
Connect with eternal truths at the evening firepit– since the beginning of time, men have gathered round fires to tell stories and share wisdom
Access your creativity through a guided practice to access physical movement and unleash your singing voice within the group
Balance your male (animus) and female (anima) energies within
Not only will you find a more authentic, balanced male power but also draw on traditionally feminine qualities like compassion, empathy and seeing the bigger picture
Open up to your real needs and learn how to communicate them effectively
Instead of rescuing or fixing, start to truly listen
If you’re a man looking for space to reconnect with yourself and renew your purpose and vigour, I invite you to join us. If you’re a woman who knows her husband, brother, son or friend would benefit, please do send this information on.
If you’ve any questions, reply to this email and I will help.
Wishing you a safe and warm end to the winter!
Andrew
