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.

You will…

  • Gain clarity and awareness about who you are as a man, both individually and socially.
  • Learn New communications skills such as coherent communications.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of your life path so far and a clear vision of your mission and purpose.
  • Experience rhythm, timing and flow states as ways of being in the world

You will be able to…

  • Sit with contradiction and tension.
  • Use HeartMath techniques and meditation for transforming stress into resilience, emotional awareness and self-regulation.
  • Shift out of reactivity and respond consciously to situations.
  • Creatively interact from both a place of collaboration and personal agency.
  • Sense your core values and how to act in alignment with those values in service of people, planet, and self.

You will feel…

  • Empowered, calm and clear
  • Confident and still deeply curious in your understanding of masculinity
  • Able to honour your own unique expression of masculinity.
  • At peace with yourself, including your inner contradictions, and challenges
  • Tired, like after a good workout, yet renewed!

You will have experienced…

  • Kinship, community and acceptance: a supportive atmosphere for exploration
  • Deep groundedness and calm while pushing your edge (the process of growth)
  • Connection with nature and encounters with different facets of yourself through nature-based practices
  • Group drumming: creative collaboration through rhythmic play. Culminating in a dynamic drum circle around a bonfire
