Men's Wellbeing Retreat #30 October 2024

As we farewell the 5 good men that travelled to Tairua to join us for our October retreat for Men, the 30th mens retreat we’ve run so far, it’s time for a reflection.

Much of what is shared on retreat, stays within the group - this is what these retreats are all about, the chance to share in a safe space without judgement.

There are some take outs that every man can benefit from, that we can share here, to give you a little taste of what we explore.

I am not a drop in the ocean - I am the ocean in a drop.

This is a statement we dive into on retreat - realising we are infinitely powerful - that no matter what has happened in our lives, what stories we have told ourselves to limit our potential, we still have infinite pathways of awesomeness that we can walk.

Or as one of our guests brought to the circle last week - “Aham Brahmasmi” - the core of my being is the universe itself.

We create our reality.

Stepping away from our usual reality for a week, walking the the top of a mountain, heading out to the horizon, sitting around and stoking the fire, looking to the stars, creating some space in meditation and movement. this all becomes very apparent.

Thank you to these men for taking a week out, travelling from Mexico, India, Whangarei and Auckland, for this beautiful 4 days of brotherhood. Remembering our super powers, letting go of limiting beliefs, super charging our body, mind and wairua with Mauri kai, and reconnecting back in to the elements.

Once again, this was a beautiful week of just - being men!!

Mauri Ora!
