LEVEL 1: BOY TO KING
DISCOVER THE MASCULINE ARCHETYPES
• 26th Feb - 1st March 2026, Dorset
The energy of the King sits within all men. It is vibrant, powerful and fully connected to life. The healthy integrated archetype of the King allows us to move with the flow of life, guided by a purpose that nourishes the deepest parts of ourselves.
Through the complex journey of life this energy can be lost beneath pain, trauma, addiction, fear and a feeling of not being good enough. Whilst it may be lost, it is NOT gone.
This retreat has been intricately designed to facilitate the reclaiming of the King energy within, so that you can create the life that you want; the life that you deserve.
Standing as a radiant man in his power will bring you the relationships you want with friends, partners, colleagues and complete strangers. Everyone will feel the newly-found truth that emanates from you.

TESTIMONIALS
JAMIE
"A life changing experience, one that is priceless! I feel more connected to myself and my loved ones. I feel like a better partner, friend and son. Therefore, I believe those who are close to me have also benefited from the transformational experience these men bestode upon me. I an truly grateful, and also inspired to better myself and help others. I highly recommend this to experience and I look forward to level 2!"
JESSIE LITTLE
"If you’re reading this it’s because you’re thinking about whether to book this, and from the bottom of my heart I want to tell you to do it. The money I spent over 10 or so years in therapy dwarfs the money you spend on this single weekend, and it will drastically help you see yourself, your life and your choices in a new way."
JAMES RADFORD
"Absolutely transforming! It honestly improved my life in every single way. I will never forget the experience and will be coming back for more! I had reservations before I arrived and all of that was squashed very soon.... This works and can work for all men! If you are having issues with your partner, family, friends or colleagues, this work can help you find the courage to look inside yourself and help realise where and what needs to be done, your loved ones will feel this too!
Each day we will explore one of the four masculine archetypes - Lover, Warrior, Magician and King - including their opposing shadows and how they can influence our lives.
Sharing circles will allow us to drop deeper into a place of authenticity; finding that giving words to what we are feeling, and being heard by other men, can be transformational.
We will lead easy-to-follow movement and meditation sessions inspired by yogic traditions, allowing you to shift energy and connect more deeply with your body.
We will hold emotional release workshops, providing an opportunity, if you wish, to let go of anything you may have been carrying for too long.
We will guide you through Wim Hof inspired breathing and cold water exposure. This is scientifically shown to help heal the body in a myriad of ways including reducing stress, anxiety and feelings of depression; connecting you to your power.
There will also be time for relaxation and connecting with your fellow brothers whilst enjoying the hot tub, sauna, indoor swimming pool, forest walks, fire, drumming, beautiful food and more.
