ABOUT

“Love the Incomplete Man” Retreat: Heal, Embrace, and Live in the Now

Join us for a transformative weekend retreat focused on healing your inner self and embracing life’s imperfections. Through mindfulness, meditation, and heart-centered workshops, you’ll learn to let go of past anger, quiet future anxieties, and fully live in the present. Discover how to love and heal your incomplete self, while cultivating peace and simplicity within. Step into a supportive space of acceptance, reflection, and growth. Your journey to wholeness begins now.

PURPOSE OF THIS RETREAT:

The purpose of this retreat is to create a safe, supportive space where men can:

1. Embrace Imperfection: Recognize that being incomplete is part of the human journey, and learn to love and accept themselves as they are.

2. Heal Emotional Wounds: Release anger tied to the past and anxiety about the future, fostering emotional freedom and inner peace.

3. Live in the Present: Cultivate mindfulness and presence, empowering participants to fully experience life in the here and now.

4. Simplify the Inner Life: Uncomplicate mental and emotional patterns that create stress and disconnection, leading to a deeper sense of clarity and balance.

5. Build Connection: Share and grow within a community of like-minded men, fostering vulnerability, trust, and mutual support.

POTENTIAL OUTCOMES OF THE “LOVE THE INCOMPLETE MAN” RETREAT

Participants can expect to leave the retreat with:

1. Enhanced Self-Acceptance: A deeper love and appreciation for their own imperfections and the journey of growth.

2. Emotional Freedom: Tools and practices to release anger tied to the past and reduce anxiety about the future.

3. Mindfulness Skills: The ability to live more fully in the present moment, with practical techniques to bring peace and clarity into daily life.

4. Simplified Inner World: A clearer understanding of how to uncomplicate emotional patterns and navigate life with greater ease.

5. Healing and Connection: A sense of healing through shared experiences and meaningful connections with other men on a similar path.

6. Resilience and Strength: Renewed emotional resilience and a stronger sense of self to face challenges with grace and confidence.

7. Actionable Tools: Concrete strategies for integrating the lessons of the retreat into everyday life.

IS THIS FOR ME?

Nudity

The True Self is free and without identity. Clothing, labels and technology mask our True Self. We, therefore, invite you, if you feel comfortable, to shed these layers and experience the weekend with no restrictions.

F&Q

This event is open to men regardless. Often we can give ourselves a hard time on how we think we look to others, and this is an opportunity to go beyond that, to be vulnerable and to let others accept you just as you are. With open hearts, with an openness to accept everybody, let the magic of touch take you to new parts of yourself you never knew existed. Read more if you have any more questions FAQ.

Prerequisites

No previous experience of massage, yoga or bodywork is needed but would be an advantage eg. Aquabliss4men or a Massage Exchange

What to bring:

Light cloths (At least one light jacket or something warm for the night) - Although it will be about 35ºC (95ºF)
Sarong - you can also purchase @ R300 (Maybe you already paid for one)
Sandals or hiking boots or Sneakers/Tekkies (if you bring the sneakers please bring light sandals also)
Hat
Suntan Lotion (for those intimate areas that never see sun)
One Beach towel - to be used at the massage exchange As we shower quite frequently, one is not adequate and it is unpleasant lying on a wet towel.
One light / hand towel
Power Bank - if you need to charge your mobile phone
Yoga Mat - if you have one - that would help as I can not travel with 20 mats
Personal Items and toiletries (tooth paste, moisturiser etc…)
Mosquito repellent - it’s summer time and these beasts like to feed on city boys...
Flash light (not Flesh or that kind, you dirty man) or head lamp, it’s dark out there.

Program format:
