level 3: THE AWAKENED KING
Beyond the Wound
You’ve met the boy. You’ve embodied the King. Now journey beyond the story and into the soul - to meet the Mystic and discover who you are beneath everything you thought you were.
This is a four-day journey beyond the psychological and into the spiritual. Having explored the wounds, the shadows and the deeper layers of the masculine psyche, Level 3 invites men to move into a deeper relationship with consciousness, soul, spirit, presence and the mystery of being alive.
This retreat is carefully curated for men who feel there is something beyond healing alone. Men who are ready to explore not just what happened to them or why they became who they are, but what sits underneath the personality, the conditioning, the wounds and the roles they have learned to play.
The journey will explore four key areas:
Consciousness & Presence
The Soul & The Inner Journey
Purpose, Devotion & Service
Death, Surrender & The Mystery
This is not about abandoning psychology or bypassing the wounds you have already met. It is about building upon that foundation and asking a deeper question: once you understand your story, who are you beyond it?
Guest Teacher - Swami Pujan
Swami Pujan joins Level 3 as a guest teacher, bringing decades of spiritual practice, wisdom and lived experience into the retreat.
Alexander Cottle, founder of The Unmasked Man, has personally worked with Pujan for over 11 years. During that time, Pujan has become an important elder presence within The Unmasked Man community, offering a depth of spiritual guidance that complements the psychological, somatic and archetypal work at the heart of what we do.
His role within Level 3 is not simply to teach spiritual concepts, but to help men explore them through lived experience, presence and practice. His teachings will support the journey into consciousness, soul, meditation, devotion and the deeper questions that begin to emerge when a man moves beyond simply understanding his wounds.
TESTIMONIALS
"The unmasked man has changed my life.
Please do this, you owe it to yourself.
You can't put a price on your health/wellbeing.
I've been empowered to be the man I should be, not the scared boy who was!"
Scott
"I went in a sceptic and left a more complete man. Wow, where to begin. I went in to the process with no expectations.
The process was incredibly well thought out, perfectly balanced and totally universal regardless of what you want to accomplish or focus on. I will walk away with life long friends. I have never done something I would recommend to this degree."
Frederick
“The best investment I’ve ever made.
Attending The Unmasked Man was life-changing.
I’ve faced fears I once ran from, and joy has returned to my life in ways I never thought possible.
I’m eternally grateful for the experience, the wisdom, and the transformation it’s gifted me.”
Dean

Swami Pujan
GUEST SPEAKER & LEAD FACILITATOR
Swami Pujan is a deeply experienced spiritual teacher and trained psychologist whose journey has spanned more than four decades of dedicated practice, study and exploration. His path has taken him through different schools of Eastern spirituality, including years as a Zen monk, before evolving into the non-dual teachings of Advaita Vedanta that sit at the heart of his work today.
He has travelled extensively through India, Nepal and beyond, immersing himself in spiritual traditions, meditation, consciousness and the deeper nature of the self, while also bringing the grounding of psychological understanding into his teaching. Over the years, he has led spiritual retreats internationally, guiding people beyond intellectual understanding and towards a more direct, lived experience of presence, awareness and inner freedom.
What makes Pujan’s work so powerful is the depth of lived experience behind it. His teachings are not simply theoretical, but rooted in decades of practice, enquiry, psychology, meditation and devotion to the spiritual path.
FOUNDER, COACH & LEAD FACILITATOR
Alexander Cottle
Alexander Cottle is a leading voice in modern men’s work and the founder of The Unmasked Man. Known for his embodied, heart-led approach, he brings together over a decade of experience in somatic shadow work, Eastern philosophy, counselling, yoga, and meditation. His work is rooted in helping men move from the mind into the heart - from performance into presence.
Alexander specialises in teaching the embodied side of shadow work, guiding men to meet and integrate the parts of themselves they’ve hidden, suppressed, or feared. Through his grounded, compassionate facilitation, he’s supported hundreds of men to release shame, reclaim their power, and step into mature masculinity.
He is recognised for the depth and safety he creates - spaces where men can unravel, remember, and rebuild. His work is not about surface-level change. It’s about deep, embodied transformation that stays with you for life.
"Life-changing on so many levels, from how I view and treat myself to how I view and treat others." Alejandro
