serve the world by becoming your true self
WHAT IT IS
Men gather to create and support a strong, collective presence with a unified intention to scratch below the surface and ask ourselves what stops us from really showing up in our lives. You will leave this weekend feeling deeply energised, inspired and connected. Connected not only to new brothers but to your own body and feelings, and to your life force energy. Man-in intends to create a space where men can come together to explore their masculinity in a safe and supportive environment because:
• We believe that we can uncover our intuitive knowledge about what being a man really is by exploring ourselves fearlessly with a community of other men;
• We believe that our fear, our discomfort, our anger and our longing to show up in the world as real men will show us the way to our authentic selves.
• We believe that by doing this, we dismantle unhealthy behaviour patterns that limit our ability to love, to be present with others, to act with integrity and to create and cultivate healthy relationships;
• We believe that we can only know and speak about our truth, and will support you only to find your own truth.
• We believe that by being grounded in our true and authentic selves, we will naturally embody the masculine and this will invite, encourage and support other men to do the same.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
You will be introduced to material designed by Rafia Morgan, Co-Founder of Path Retreats and Co-creator of Rebel Wisdom to:
• Talk about things you wouldn’t usually talk about
• Inquire and be curious to look at old beliefs and patterns that hold you back
• Express feelings in a safe, held space without being judged
• Let go of repressed anger and frustration through different exercises and techniques
• Invite you to challenge some of your beliefs around fear
• Begin the journey to manifest becoming the Director of your life and not just an actor
• Start to discover your very own natural state of relaxed confidence as a man, grounded and rooted here on this earth, moment to moment, in your masculinity
• Be motivated to embrace leaning into your edge because you know this is what makes you come alive.
• To help process and integrate this inquiry work there will active meditations including Osho Dynamic and Osho Kundalini as well as a Transformational Breathing session.
Be ready for lots of physical activity like moving your body and using your voice to help shift old, blocked negative energy that has got stuck. There will be walks in nature, meditation and some variations of stretching and breathing exercises. You will leave this weekend feeling deeply energised, inspired and connected. Connected not only to new brothers but to your own body and feelings, and to your life force energy. Honouring the aliveness and strength of what it is and what it feels like to be masculine

Sidhamo is a lead facilitator at Man-In, a father, a world traveler and seeker with a deep connection to men’s work, plant medicine and the jungle. He lives and works at Dima, working with people to help uncover the core issues that manifest as stagnant behavior patterns that no longer serve us.
His work with men focuses on building up the healthy masculine while integrating the perceptive and softer feminine, as balancing of the masculine and feminine allows us to live a more integrated self and connect on a deeper, more authentic level.
