Are you looking for a fuller, freer version of masculinity? It’s time to stop silencing the roar inside you; stop pretending you’re satisfied with half a life. On this retreat, you’ll break free of your mental prison and reclaim your birthright, casting aside what the world tells you to be and rediscovering who you’ve always been beneath the noise.
Against the backdrop of Nambwa’s untamed wilderness, a land once marked by the footsteps of soldiers and where relics of the South African Defence Force still remain, you’ll enter into a field of transformation held by two living examples of courage, humility, and greatness. Under their guidance, you’ll journey into courage without aggression, clarity without rigidity and purpose that flows from within.
Brett’s consciousness teachings and "I AM" principles will shatter every limitation you've accepted about yourself, while the purifying power of the sweat lodge will slough off old patterns that no longer serve you. Finally, through breathing exercises that shift your consciousness you’ll gain insights and find the path to greater self-awareness.
In the company of like-minded men and the game that moves freely through this place, you’ll come face to face with life in its raw essence. At night, around a fire, we’ll take the time to reflect, explore vulnerability and forge lasting friendships. As you open up to the love of those around you and deep within, you’ll experience a profound transformation and leave carrying your heart-led sense of self out into the world.

Because if you don't discover your true nature in this lifetime, in our humble opinion, you have wasted your life. Don’t settle for playing small when you could unlock your limitless power. This is your chance to discover the unborn greatness awaiting you.
Most approaches try to fix you. We help you see that you were never broken. Every wound, every struggle, every time you felt lost wasn't a misstep. These moments were preparing you for the realisation that your current incarnation, with all its seeming limitations, is actually the perfect blueprint for your complete liberation. We guide you back to your true essence behind your thinking and feeling.
Not at all. All activities, from the breathing exercises to Hojo sword training, are guided by experienced facilitators. You’ll learn at your own pace, and no previous experience is required.
