Men of Earth Retreats

No prior experience is required. If you are new to this work, we will decide together on the call whether this space is right for you. Our retreats are designed to meet men exactly where they are. Whether you are new to personal development and group work or have years of experience, all practices and processes are guided with clarity and support, so you can take part at your own pace.

We recommend doing LV1 before LV2, but that is up to you.

Your personal experience and anything you share is treated with strict confidentiality. Participants agree to a shared standard: what is spoken in the space stays in the space. No stories, names or personal disclosures are carried outside the group without explicit consent.

Confidentiality. What is said and seen here stays here. You do not have permission to tell another person's story, inside or outside of the container.

We take photos and videos of our trainings to (a) normalise people doing the work and expressing emotions, (b) promote Men of Earth so we can impact more people positively, and (c) because people often love having something to remember the experience. If you do not want to be filmed at any point, tell our media team and they will avoid filming you. We will also check before posting anything vulnerable on social media.

Honesty. The more honest you are with yourself and others, the more you will get out of this training. Being honest can be challenging and confronting. We invite you to meet that edge, and to avoid being hard on yourself if in some areas it takes time. If something is worrying or concerning you, reach out to one of the core facilitator team. Do not hold it.

Ownership. Take ownership of your thoughts, words and actions and the impact they have on you, others and the land. Speak with "I" statements, especially when expressing thoughts and feelings. If an issue arises with someone in the container, take ownership of solving it in a kind, compassionate and clear way. If you need support, raise it with one of the core facilitator team.

Integrity. We do not accept racism, homophobia, misogyny or any type of prejudice in our containers. However, this work is here to support the growth of the people in it, so if these are present and participants are open to exploring held beliefs, it is important we hold space for that.

No sex with self or others for the duration of the training. We ask you to hold the energy we are cultivating, individually and collectively (this also applies to couples). No drugs or alcohol for the duration of the training. No psychoactive plant medicines for the duration of the training. If you use non-psychoactive plants such as Hapeh or Mambe, we ask that you use them alone and in private, not in the open container. Leave the land better than you found it: tidy up after yourself, and be helpful and proactive in holding a sacred space.

Consent. We are creating a container where human connection can flow freely and naturally. At the same time, we ask everyone to use self-awareness when it comes to consent. For example, if someone has had a process, ask whether they want to talk about it before opening up a conversation, because they may want time to integrate. Check in before touching or embracing someone if you think they may not want it in that moment.

Expression. We invite you to lean into your true and full expression with your voice, movement and emotions during the container. We are all unique and from different backgrounds. We ask you to accept other people's expression as much as your own.

The retreat is facilitated by experienced practitioners skilled in holding emotional processes, somatic work and grounded support. If strong emotions arise, you will be met with care, guidance and options for stepping out, receiving 1:1 presence, or finding regulation. You are never required to push beyond your limits.

Every participant is sent a mandatory form beforehand, so we understand where everyone is emotionally, mentally and physically.

Men from all backgrounds, identities and life experiences are welcome. The environment is held with openness, respect and cultural sensitivity. The focus is on shared humanity, with an understanding that each participant's path and story are unique.

You will be sharing a room unless you require private space. Please speak to the team when you book. The rooms are comfortable and designed to support rest and reflection.

Each day blends structured sessions with spacious time for rest, integration and personal reflection. We do not reveal the schedule unless it is asked for, because it is important for us to change it as we see fit as the retreat unfolds.

The schedule is intentional but not overwhelming. You will always have space to decompress and integrate.

To ensure depth, safety and personal attention, spaces are limited and not everyone who applies will join. Groups are intentionally kept small enough to maintain intimacy while still benefiting from collective energy. Expect 10 to 12 men in total.

To protect the integrity of the container and deepen presence, while respecting confidentiality:

• Our media team will document the experience, honouring the needs of participants should they arise.
• No content will be shared publicly without consent.
• Facilitators will also take some photography and filming.
• Phone use is discouraged and may be restricted to designated times or areas.
• Participants are invited into a temporary digital detox to support full immersion.
• Any exceptions will be communicated clearly.

Refund policy. Payment for a ticket may be eligible for a partial refund if cancelled under the following terms. If you cancel 30 days or more before the beginning of the event, Men of Earth will refund the payment. After that, refunds are considered case by case, and the participant is not entitled to a refund.

If it is less than 30 days, we will do our best to transfer your place to another man, and you will receive a full refund minus an admin charge of £50.

Cancellation policy. If the event is cancelled due to weather, emergencies or anything else unforeseen, participants will receive a full refund.

Yes. Integration is essential. Participants are offered optional follow-up support, including a 2 hour group call, a community check-in and resources to help bring insights into daily life. The intention is to make sure the work continues beyond the retreat.

Yes, we do. Book a call before you pay if you'd like to talk one through.
