TUSCANY, ITALY
Join us this October for an adventure as the spirit of autum changes the Tuscan mountains to hues of gold and amber. This Autumn Men's Retreat calls us to gather and embark on a transformative journey immersed in self-discovery and a profound connection with nature.
At our core lies family constellation therapy, expertly guided by therapist Mark Mabon. This potent method delves into family dynamics and ancestral patterns, fostering deep healing and personal evolution, offering profound insights into our lives and our place in the world.
Throughout our time together, we'll gather around crackling fires, sharing tales, wisdom, and the primal rhythm of drumming. Our resident chef will delicious meals with seasonal ingredients, honoring ancient traditions by cooking over open flames. The wilderness of the Tuscan mountains will be our sanctuary, reigniting our primal bond with Mother Earth.
Venturing into the wilds, we'll explore its hidden treasures and abundance. Our resident chef and forager will lead hikes, looking for for porcinis and chanterelles, as well as sharing insights into medicinal plants and their significance. Cold water immersion and wild swimming will invigorate our bodies and spirits, inviting us to revel in the thrill of pushing boundaries and discovering resilience. Saunas will provide purification for body and mind.
This retreat invites us to embrace our inner child, taught to be tough and suppress emotions, told to 'man up' and stifle vulnerabilities. We'll explore masculine archetypes not as ideals of perfection but as guiding forces, unraveling their manifestations in our lives.
To deepen our connection and expand consciousness, we will be guided through powerful breathwork practices, harnessing the breath's raw power to unlock hidden potential and foster inner healing, leading us toward heightened presence, clarity, and self-awareness.
The Autumn Men's Retreat in the Tuscan mountains this October promises an unforgettable odyssey of personal growth, brotherhood, and a profound reconnection with the wild. Join us as we embark on this expedition of self-discovery and transformation, embracing the untamed essence of masculinity.
Brothers, this is an invitation to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and brotherhood. 'On The Land' awaits, asking you to rediscover your inner strength, to forge deep connections, and to embrace the transformative power of community. Join us on this extraordinary odyssey of masculine reawakening and step into the realm of 'On The Land,' where the ancient wisdom of our ancestors awaits.
