Paradox A Men’s Retreat
20-25th of May, Dundonnel, Highlands
Connect With Your: Power, Potential, Authenticity
Who would you be if you were free from the restrictive and often contradictory influences and expectations that come with being a modern man in our culture?
Do you feel confused and constrained by the often contradictory demands that are being made of you as a man? Stuck between the expectation to be sensitive and the expectation to be macho? In this retreat we will explore how out of this apparent paradox we can rise as powerful and authentic expressions of our true masculinity in service of self, others and planet.
Join us in exploring the wild places of masculinity on the rugged coast of Northwest Scotland.
