Men’s Retreat

Men’s Medicine Retreat

The Magic of Brotherhood

Sunshine Coast, BC

Oct. 18-20, 2024

A powerful immersion into the world of medicine work and the magic that happens when men show up for each other and themselves.

An integral part of becoming a healthy man and healthy father is to connect with other men and other fathers to remember ourselves and our roles.

Rebuilding healthy communities requires men to get together to do their healing and to envision how we create the new earth together!

Maybe you don’t fully resonate with the culturally promoted role models of who a man is supposed to be.

Maybe you have a hard time feeling, not because you don’t want to, but because you have too much parasympathetic suppression mechanism stuck in your system. 

The parasympathetic is the part of the nervous system that suppresses emotion and encapsulates unprocessed trauma energy. 

In the Men’s Medicine retreat we open heartedly explore what it means to be a healthy, whole man, partner and father and we employ various techniques to get parasympathetic suppression out of your system so that you can feel your feelings and experience a new embodied way of being. 

We also learn how to hold space for others.  This technique is highly valuable and creates a much deeper ability to connect with people, especially our intimate partners.

The result is a deeper ability to feel and relate more deeply with others.

This is for you, if...

  • You’re stuck in repetitive patterns
  • You desire deeper connection with your loved ones
  • You’re unable to access deeper emotions
  • You want to be in community and connection with other men
  • You’ve tried other therapies but just can’t seem to break through
  • You want to get out of your head and into your body
  • You’re ready to come ALIVE

I have experienced two medicine retreats and both of them were life changing events. It felt like I got five years of work done on myself in three days on both occasions. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Sasha and his co-facilitators, these guys are healers. I will be doing this again! (Happy to chat with anyone looking for reassurance)

As a first journey I am still feeling it was profound. Way better than months of hour to hour therapy.
I have integrated emotional openness with both my daughters and wife. They all say it is noticeable and that “something” has changed in me since my retreat.
Thank you all for being there with me.

As soon as I experienced the men’s retreat I had one thought: if every man could have the chance do this work it would change the world! I feel like a new person ready to jump back into life and love in a new way.
