ABOUT.
The Rising Man Retreat is a small private group retreat led by men who've been doing this work for decades.
The retreat is for the man who wants to let go of the stress, anger, patterns and trauma that is getting in the way of living the life they want.
This is for the man who wants to better understand themselves, their emotions and to transform their relationships and how they show up in the world.
Our woodland retreat centre allows men to step away from the everyday distractions to be able to be fully present and do the work that matters.
Men leave feeling lighter, more open-hearted, and grounded better connected with themselves to be able to step into new possibilities.
Champagne of personal development.
"This retreat saved my life and I'd love to personally let you know what this is really about and what it can do for you"
TEAM.
We are passionate about supporting men to become the man they want to be. We are each actively doing our "own work" because it matters and because we can't possibly support men going to the places we haven't been to within ourselves. We have decades of experience between us and draw upon a range of knowledge and modalities.

OVERVIEW.
This journey follows a proven path that has helped countless men transform their lives, yet its true essence can only be experienced rather than explained.
We intentionally do not layout in precise detail every aspect of the weekend not out of secrecy, but to honour the sacred nature of discovery that lies at the heart of this work. While we outline the structure below, each step unfolds uniquely for every man and powerful moments emerge when men least expect.
Foundation
-
A personal conversation with every participant means that everyone that joins is both "ready" and "suitable" for this deep transformational work
-
Your journey begins well before you step onto the retreat grounds, building momentum that carries into our time together
-
You'll receive thoughtful guidance before arrival to prepare your mind and heart for the inner journey ahead
-
We provide individual support to help you set meaningful intentions and build the solid foundation needed for genuine transformation
Arrival
-
As you step into our retreat space, you'll find yourself in an environment specifically designed to be "separate" from everyday life and its constant pressures
-
Our carefully crafted initial exercises help you gradually shed the "outer persona" you typically wear and begin connecting with other men authentically
-
Many participants describe the profound "relief" of finally being in a space where they can show up fully as themselves without judgment
-
You'll begin forming meaningful bonds with fellow men who are walking similar paths, creating a place of mutual support without judgement and competition
Descent
-
This is where we move beyond "surface issues" to address the root patterns that have shaped your life through both physical and emotional experiences
-
Through guided processes, you'll access parts of yourself that have been "forgotten" or "suppressed," often finding unexpected strength and wisdom
-
The work isn't always comfortable, but it's at this "edge" that genuine transformation occurs, always with complete support
-
You'll be expertly guided by both experienced facilitators and the "brotherhood" forming around you, making this deeper work possible than you could achieve alone or in other settings
Integration
-
We focus intensely on helping you transform insights into "practical strategies" you can immediately apply to your everyday life
-
You'll learn specific techniques to maintain your authentic self when old environments try to pull you back into familiar patterns
-
We provide you with tangible tools and practices designed to "embed" your transformation rather than creating a temporary high
-
Your journey continues long after the retreat ends with opportunities for ongoing support and connection with other men on similar paths
VENUE & ACCOMODATION
Venue:
Our woodland retreat centre allows men to step away from the everyday distractions to be able to be fully present and do the work that matters. It embraces a simpler way of being holding a rich history of healing and learning. It offers a mixture of indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering and quiet reflection, including a firepit area to unwind, reflect and talk.
Accommodation:
The accommodation offers comfortable, rustic quarters that connect you directly with the woodland surroundings. While you won't find luxury amenities or plush furnishings, you'll discover something more valuable, authentic space where men can focus on what truly matters. Eco-friendly facilities, including bio toilets and modest single occupancy rooms, reflect our commitment to treading lightly on the earth while providing all you need for restful nights after powerful days of men's work.
The intentional simplicity of the living spaces strips away distractions, creating an environment where genuine connections and where the natural world becomes both teacher and sanctuary.
