The
Forgotten Man
A Return to Your Core
A Journey Into Embodiment, Presence & Power
What does it mean to be a man in today’s world? Not by outdated standards of competition and achievement, but through depth, strength, and connection. Society has placed expectations on men to perform, to provide, to achieve—but true masculinity is not defined by external success. It is forged in presence, in resilience, and in the brotherhood of men willing to stand together. This retreat is an invitation to shed the layers of societal pressure and rediscover your essence. To experience what it means to be with other men—not as competitors, but as brothers. To strip away distractions, step into challenge, and reconnect with the fire inside.
The Work: Practices That Awaken the Authentic Masculine
This is not about becoming stronger, tougher, or better than the man beside you. It is about stepping fully into who you already are, beyond roles, titles, and expectations. It is about being fully present in the here and now, embracing both the power and the depth of your own masculinity. Through ancient rituals, intense physical and emotional practices, and powerful embodiment work, we will navigate the path back to our authentic strength:
Sauna Ceremony
A purification ritual to shed the old and welcome the new.
Brotherhood De-armouring
Release stored tension, emotional armour, and suppressed energy—not in isolation, but in the presence of other men. This is a powerful practice of being seen, felt, and supported while letting go of what no longer serves you.
Breathwork Journeys
Enter altered states of awareness through the breath to release what’s been held too long and reconnect with your body and the men beside you.
Embodiment & Presence Practices
Strengthen your nervous system and develop unwavering presence — a vital foundation for showing up with clarity and grounded leadership in your relationships.
Shadow Work & Initiations
Confront and integrate the unspoken aspects of yourself.
Brotherhood & Connection
Stand shoulder to shoulder with men who see and challenge you.
