Men Retreat
- group: max 18
- whole day program
- from 980 euro
- in English
Join this retreat if you are looking for some time completely dedicated to your self. This week is an opportunity to find new inspiration, to grow as a person and to enjoy some holiday vibes on the beautiful island of Sardinia.
The program is a mixture of meditating, playing soccer on the beach, bringing awareness to life-challenges, spending time at the pool, doing breathwork sessions and hanging out with new friends in a stunning environment.
Why is this a men-only retreat and what will you get out of it?
For generations, men are raised with the idea that they always need to be strong and can't show any signs of weakness or pain.
These outdated stereotypes created a world full of men that have difficulties to allow their inevitable insecurities, hiding their emotions and therefore feel flattened and disconnected.
This "I cannot be vulnerable" withholds men from participating in retreats which on average are filled with at least 70% women!
This inspired us to organize Men Retreats.
In the first editions, we experienced that a man to man environment makes it easy to embrace what is really happening inside. The brotherhood opens up a space where a man can reconnect with his true essence and joy.
So we invite all men who are looking for a down-to-earth opportunity to develop themselves emotionally while there is also enough time to enjoy a beautiful field of energy where boys can be boys again and simply have some fun.
You will be able to recharge your batteries and go home with new insights and inspiration.
Perfect for all levels and backgrounds. In the last Men Retreats participated a mix of entrepreneurs, professional athletes, psychologists, corporate managers, creatives, a tour guide, yoga teachers, a DJ, students, a chef, doctor, and men in between careers looking for a new direction in life.
Soul Valley is situated in a private valley with amazing views. You will enjoy true silence, clean air and starry nights in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world: Sardinia.
