Who This Is For
You’ve got a lot going on? Work, relationships, family. People rely on you. You’re the one who keeps it together, who steps up, who shows up.
But you’ve probably been thinking: When do I get to drop the act? Breathe? Reconnect with myself?
This is for men like you, who’ve done some inner work, want to keep growing, and know deep down they need a reset.
You don’t need fixing. But you do need space. Space to let go of pressure. Space to be real.
That’s what this retreat is for.
Retreat Guidelines
1. Vulnerability Over Performance
We honour truth over polish.
No need to impress. Come as you are. Breakdowns welcome a smooch as breakthroughs.
2. Contribution Over Consumption
Each man offers something - have a gift, a skill to offer, there’s space for that.
We are all givers and receivers in this fire.
3. Feedback is Gold
We welcome loving, direct feedback - as a gift.
We name what we feel. We own our experience.
4. No One Man Holds the Power
This space is co-created. The facilitator holds the bones, not the crown.
Power is shared. Humility is leadership.
5. Shadow is Welcome
We name the unspoken.
We hold space for the messy, the real, the human.
6. The Land is an Ally
This is not just a venue. It is a living participant - with olive trees, stars, and fire.
We honour it. We tread lightly. We may even harvest.
7. What Happens Here… Spreads
The impact doesn’t end on day 5. Your loved one’s feel it.
It moves through our work, our circles, our relationships, our communities.
We leave with fire in our hearts, and a calm nervous system.
Who’s your Host? Mike Raven
I’m not here to fix you, I have a core belief that no man is a problem to be fixed.
I’ve facilitated retreats, led teams, coached men, built businesses, mentored teenagers, burned out, healed, built and led men’s circles, and I mess up like everyone else.
But I care deeply about men having somewhere real to come and reset - and I know how to hold that kind of space.
My work blends embodiment, coaching, archetypes, somatic practices, naturopathic nutrition, nature connection and real-world leadership - designed to bring men home to themselves.
