A THREE-DAYS RETREAT ONLY FOR MEN!
ERIK D: "Until I joined the Mastery in Masculinity retreat, I had believed that my destiny was to work a dull job until retirement and live my life arguing with my wife and daughters. The retreat made me aware of the silliness of my current life, and how I had turned myself into a teenage friend to my teenage daughters! Before the retreat, I was never aware that I can be an inspirational father figure in the lives of my daughters and the purposeful strong oak in the life of my wife. I discovered that I have a great mission in my life and that my life does not end with my death.
Coming out of the retreat I feel like I am the lion of my jungle, being the loving servant of my grand mission and my family!
Thank you Sujith.....I will rejoin again when you are back in Europe."
STEPH: "Late 2012 I was convinced by one of my daughters to join this 3 day retreat.
Yes, it took some convincing for I saw myself as a no-nonsense, down to earth, hard working manager with little or no time left to spend on something I couldn’t put my finger on. “Mastery in Masculinity???”…would someone dare to imply I’m not a real man…what could this be about…what is meant exactly… or maybe it’s just the next BS course?
Since I have a sound sense of curiosity I decided to participate…with an open mind…which is not as easy as it sounds for most of us are judgmental. Mea Culpa! To me, this specific retreat came as a sort of revelation of my inner being, providing me insight on how I became the person I am / used to be / still am up to a certain point.
So, if you are the kind of person that wants to grow mentally and become aware of why and how things happen , understand how to determine your real goals in life and how to deal with past and future events in a mature way…this is your opportunity…trust me:-)

Men, have you ever found yourself wondering...
"How can I access and live my fullest potential?"
"As a man, what is my heart's deepest longing?"
"What does it mean to be my most mature masculine self?"
"How can I be the fullest I can in all walks of life?"
OR
Do you relate to any of the statements below?
"I feel I am unseen for who I truly am"
"I am not respected for the unique gifts and blessings that I possess"
"I seem insignificant or irrelevant in the lives of those around me"
"Everything that I achieve in life takes significant effort and feels worthless once achieved"
"I feel like I have not been given a fair choice on how my life should be lived"
"Things go wrong for me due to no fault of my own"
"My romantic relationships lose its spark soon after its newness is gone"
"My relationships do not inspire me to grow and enrich myself"
"I can't remember the last time I had a real quality conversation"
"I am unhappy and unfulfilled, but I don't know how to fix it"
"I am tired and confused with how my life has been, but I don't know how I want to be"
"Life seems OK, but I have this nagging sensation that there is a deeper meaning to life that I can accomplish"
"I am missing a sense of purpose and direction in my life"
"I feel like my life is caught up in this endless trap of routines"
"I feel I have lost touch with my dreams and who I really am"
"I know that I am alive, but my life is not lively!"
"My work offers me money, but not meaning"
"My fancy car isn't taking me to where I want to go (in life)"
"I am quite a rich man, but I don't feel rich"
"I have opulence in life, but I lack abundance"
"I deserve a better deal from life, love and work"
"I miss adventure in my life"
"I am too much in my comfort zone"
!These are some typical statements that I played through my life and also have heard over the years from men!
If any of the above statements relate to you, that is evidence that you are not embodying and living your true mature masculine essence.

What is the MASTERY IN MASCULINITY Retreat?
All the truths that are meant to serve you be your best, all the gifts that you need to flourish in life, and all the power that you need to be your fullest is already contained within you. Your challenge is to unlock it and live it.
MASTERY IN MASCULINITY is an intense and life transforming 3-day offsite (residential) event for you, if you are a man who wishes to live in fulfillment in all aspects of your life. This men-only retreat offers a nurturing, enlightening and motivating space of growth for you.
Remember, our daily living tends to dilute our VITAL MASCULINE energy. That prevents us from standing in our full strength in the lives of those around us. Many of us long to be an immense presence and an awe-inspiring force in the lives of our women and children. Some of us yearn to lead a life waking up to noble purpose each day.
We are each born with a purpose waiting to be lived. And when we gain clarity of that purpose, we suddenly feel liberated and light. All the rest of life conspires to keep us on purpose. Through INITIATION, we come closer to clarity of purpose. Initiation is lost to the men of today, yet it liberates us to operate from the immense power of the ‘true nature’ hidden within us. However, for men, accessing that ‘true nature’ involves stepping beyond our limitations and comfort…..into the unknown. In this choiceful place of not knowing, we will find the seeds that will grow beyond our limitations and victimhood. Between 15th November and 17th November, we will step together into initiation into the Mature Masculine.
We learn from the greatest men that—like them—we must take the time to revitalize ourselves, reaffirm our life-standards and regain clarity of purpose. Sages recognize 3 prerequisites to such a retreat;
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THOSE 3 DAYS?
There is a great longing for men to reclaim their role as a Mature Masculine. During those 3 days, we will penetrate our limits and set ourselves into the uncertain. We will leave the comfort of the old shores and head into the turbulence of the rough seas. In that voyage, we will set and reinforce some sacred standards for our lives, and we will--lovingly and constantly--hold each other to these standards. We will interact with the elements of nature and participate in a set of exercises and rituals that will expand our inner wisdom, open our eyes to our relational dysfunctions, awaken our muted inner voice and free us from some of the past conditioning that control our lives. We will also do a number of rituals and self-attunement practices that will initiate us to our mature selves, free from attachments.
WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF THE RETREAT
So join the MASTERY IN MASCULINITY Retreat prepared to be challenged to unravel your current reality and shed the conditioning and patterns that you have acquired through your years of experienced life.
