≈ INWARD ≈
Transformational Event for Men
Stop looking outward for what a man is supposed to be.
Turn inward. Take the time to feel unfold the man you are.
AN INITIATION INTO A CULTURE OF FEELING.
The way you have been living no longer fits your being.
Something is changing and dying and you are somewhat numb, of confused how to navigate, how to choose.
You are ready for something different but dont know what that different thing is.
INWARD is a gathering for men who are curious about what becomes possible when we take off the masks, question the conditioning and turn towards what is really alive inside us.
A space in a gorgeous nature setting for growth, honesty, exploration and real connection.
Not another model of what masculinity should look like.
Not another set of rules for how to be a man.
An invitation to uncover your path by becoming present to the information of your feelings.

There is no formula for masculinity here.
No performance required.
No need to have yourself figured out.
This is an embodied feeling space …
A space to step out of the noise of everyday life
and come back to yourself.
We will move.
Dance.
Breathe.
Feel.
Listen.
Speak.
Laugh.
Explore.
Spend time in nature.
Sit around the fire.
Eat together.
Meet other men.
And practice being real.
Connect with your heart that hides behind masks.
Share, feel, dance & celebrate the Masculine together.
Explore possibilities for sustainable authentic change.
"we have not to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."
— Joseph Campbell
We will move, dance, breathe, listen, sit by the fire. Practice being real together. Feeling what’s here. Speaking truth. Finding the next step.
We will explore a range of evolutionary modalities including:
Embodied Freedom Movement Practice, Breathwork, Meditation, Possibility Management, Community, Sharing Circles, Ritual, Sweat Lodge...
What does it mean to stand fully in your life — and be held by a brotherhood that keeps you true?
With Embodied Freedom Movement & Possibility Management alongside many years experience in men’s work and Rites of Passage, Inward brings together many current modalities ancient and modern.
During the workshop there will be:
● ‘Embodied Freedom Movement Practice’ with DJ music and guidance
● Grounding practices and somatic work
● Guided breathwork
● An introduction to ‘Feelings work’
● Opportunities for self reflection and journaling
● Individual, partner & group exercises
● Connection to Nature
● Discomfort and Expansion…
This workshop has been designed for you to feel…
to enquire what it means for you to drop your masks,
so that you can connect more authentically with your self, loved ones, the world and your purpose.
And so will take you beyond your comfort zone. Will take you into that space that is … Expansion, Evolution and Change…
The framework of this event is based upon ‘Embodied Freedom Movement Practice’. Alongside this context we will use tools and ‘thoughtware’ from ‘Possibility Management’ designed to empower connection with your feelings as well as time honoured traditions from like Sharing Circles, Nature Connection and of course eating together.
We offer you the opportunity to be with other men who are also curious and determined to explore real possibilities of authentic, ongoing change.
This is a movement-based embodiment workshop.
What does this mean?
We will be stirring up what has been sitting stagnant, stuck or suppressed beneath the surface; moving our bodies to express our emotions, to embody and integrate our feelings in an empowered way.
What are we aiming to achieve? What are the goals for this workshop?
This is a space of inquiry, exploration and healing. It is as much about questions as it is about answers, or an end goal. This is not about winning. This is not about getting anything ‘right’.
This is about connecting with yourself and what is getting in the way of who you really want to be.
