For men to discover what they are truly made of through experiencing challenge, celebration and camaraderie in an appropriate way. We intend to provide men with the experience of unplugging from the modern world and focusing on themselves for 4 straight days while immersed in nature alongside other men.  

This retreat is for any Man. 

The man who wants to be both challenged and celebrated.
---
You are the man who is one, some, or all of the following...

• Feels caged by modern society.
• Looking for direction in life.
• Open to being called forward.
• Craving to be challenged.
• Aware he can not do it alone.
• Willing to fail & recommit.
• Wanting to know what he is truly capable of.

AND... Just fucking loves spending time in nature with other men embracing his natural state. 

TGOM is a place where men of all ages, races, and locations gather to remember what binds us deeper than any label, status, or achievement could ever comprehend. Which is The Sacred Duty of Manhood.

There are a variety of activities at TGOM. 

We offer a range of experiences to ensure we cover all aspects of men's work. 

We will have 5 different types of activities: 

1. All-in Experiences

These are embodiment-focused. We go through these together as an entire group.

2. Workshops (Choose your own adventure)

This is where the facilitators share their zone of mastery with you. During the workshop section, you will attend 1 of the 5 workshops on offer. We have a variety of workshops being delivered by an incredible range men's work leaders  

3. The Morning Practice (Start the day right)

Every morning we will spend time activating our mind, body and spirit. You will experience an activating blend of movement, mindfulness and connection exercises to prime yourself for the day. 

4. Pod Check-ins

A daily mens council. You will be part of a 12 men group called a "pod". Each day you will have a pod check-in facilitated by your 2x pod leaders. This will be an opportunity to share deeply with other men to be seen, heard, and held.

5. Live Presentations

Bush Poets Breakfasts with Murray Hartin

A morning of poetry that will be sure to bring about a lot of laughs and tears. We will sit and share breakfast together as we listen to poetry and learn how to write poetry of our own.

Storytelling with Leon Cossar

After such an incredible experience at last year's TGOM Leon is back to lead us through the enchanting world of myth. We will gather wrapped in blankets underneath the starry sky, cups of warm tea in hand and go on an adventure through the powerful art of story. 

Q+A Evening

Experience a rich evening of learning from some of the best mens work leaders in Australia. There will be 4 Q+A Sessions that cover a different topic related to Men's work and the journey of being a man. 

PLUS:

We will be sharing meals. Spending time in the sun. Swimming in the creek, Sitting around the fire. These magical moments in between are what make experiences like TGOM so special. The unscripted, spontaneous, follow-the-feeling moments that only happen when there is space to be truly present and free.

Every activity is an invitation. 

If you do not feel comfortable participating in one or more of the activities you are welcome to do so. We will have multiple spaces for you to spend time and if you need extra support there will be facilitators available to provide it. 

NOTE: We have a buddy system so all men are accounted for. If you wish to step away from one of the activities you must let your buddy and pod leader know. This way all men are accounted for and we can ensure you are supported appropriately.
