Introducing Provider, Pay it Forward.
This is your chance to make a real difference in a good man’s life, at a time they really need it.
If you are looking to make a contribution that helps create real change in our own back yard - this is a good place to start.
Recognising the health crisis will not be fixed by public service, from the top down, we are doing our bit to solve it from the bottom up.
Big on action, accountability and making change Carl Muir of Provider has been working with Tāne - men from all walks of life who need help dealing with stress, burnout and mental fatigue with a leading edge of men’s retreats in NZ.
He takes men into the wilderness, on retreat, away from distractions, to help them rebalance their mental, physical and spiritual health. This is his small offering, to address the much talked about global men’s mental health crisis.
Carl is using his my own depth of experience to help men to 'lift the lid' on their health issues, including suicide, depression, diabetes, recovery after heart attack, addictions, work place bullying or trauma induced through significant global events - providing a safe, natural habitat, where they are welcome to be brutally honest, to brave the truth of their experiences and delve into different scientific, structured and proven natural health practises, while experiencing some of the best of the The Coromandel's pristine oceans and landscape that is our back yard.
Our Mens Wellbeing retreats are designed to reach men where they are at. Men come from all walks of life for a new perspective on wellbeing.
While we’d love to receive some Government funding, for what we do, that hasn’t happened yet. Some men who reach out simply can’t afford to come on our retreats due to a range of life circumstances, Our retreats are a real solution and safe space for men to heal and move through depression, mental distress, big life changes and past trauma. The men we get reaching out are ready to do the work, and transform their life, sometimes, they are just not in a great position financially to do so. We’d love to give those less fortunate, who have proven they are willing to do the work, a leg up.
So we’ve started a scholarship program, where we aim to fund a % of men through our retreats through contributions from others. Part of this program is Provider, Pay it Forward.
We have a waitlist of good people, who are ready to participate in a Men’s Wellebing Retreat, or come on our Men’s Wellbeing gatherings if they get the chance, who we are already doing some work
We would love to make our retreats and programs more accessible to everyone.
If you are keen to help someone in need, also get on a retreat, we now have a Pay it Forward option below.
For transparencies sake, and to acknowledge your contribution, we will list all of the contributions made, below, either individual, from a family, or from a business.
Next to your name, we will also list the first name and town of the person you have paid it forward to, and the month they complete our Men’s Wellbeing Retreat. If you are a business, we can add logos, and social media acknowledgements.
If you fund a whole spot, you’ll receive a thank you video testimonial, emailed to you, from the person who you have paid it forward to, at their end of their retreat. There is the option to come through the same retreat as the person you are funding, and act as a mentor.
You can choose a donation amount of any amount here, and once we reach the full amount of a retreat, we will fund someone on from our waitlist:
Or if you are in the position to fund a whole spot or several, you can do so below:
