“I needed to break away from my every day routine.”

“The reason I attended this amazing weekend, was that I needed to break away from my every day routine. With hope, that I’ll find new ways to help know myself better and test my limits.

Before the retreat I thought that my struggles were unique and there will be no way for anyone else to understand them. Now, I know that most of men have the very same struggles and just by sharing them, I started to either find solutions or realise they don’t even exist.

The impact this weekend had on my perspective of life, is that everything is a story. As Dave would say, it's up to us, to start changing that story little by little, every day."

“I've had a pain in my heel for around 6 months. I knew what that meant on the somatic level. This pain disappeared after the 3 days of retreat.

If any men, younger or older would consider coming to the retreat, I'd advice them to get ready for a real, authentic, self discovery.

That comes from talking, listening, and moving together as brothers.
