INTO THE WILD WITHIN
MEN’S RETREAT SWEDEN
A 6-day men’s initiation into the wild — raw, real and life-recalibrating.
For the high-performing man who’s willing to face himself —
and feels called to forge deeper clarity, aliveness, and leadership from within.
That whispering voice inside you —
knows it’s time.
This retreat isn’t an escape —
It’s an identity recalibration.
Only 10 men · February 2026
What awaits you in this wild experience:
Daily guided & advanced breathwork
Cold immersion challenges
Self-reflection, journaling & integration
Daily outdoor adventure
Dynamic meditations & movement
Group reflection work
Fire making & outdoor survival
Solo vision quest
Accountability work
Wild meat sourcing & processing
Epic daily wood-fired sauna sessions
This 6-day journey initiates men into greater self-leadership — where nature, challenge, silence, brotherhood, and reflection become your teachers.
Below are the elements that shape this experience:
These six days will test, awaken, and reconnect you — to your raw self, to nature, and to what truly matters.
Are you hearing that whisper to answer that call — and step into the wild within?
“This is the best thing I ever did for my personal development and mental health”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What men say after stepping Into the Wild Within:
“Shared by men from 12 countries
— ages 21-55”
“Challenging”
“Transformative”
“Life changing”
It always starts the same way…
You’ve built a life most men would admire — yet lately, something feels off.
You wake up wired. Your mind’s already sprinting. The body’s tight, the breath shallow.
You keep showing up — for your family, your team, your mission —
but inside, it’s feels more like catching up or being behind.
The success, the pressure, the constant drive — they’re taking their toll.
Your energy dips. Your patience wears thin. You’re more in a mode of reacting.
Thing is, you know that man you see in the mirror is capable… he’s just not connected.
This retreat isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about remembering what’s underneath all the noise —
the man who feels his body again, who leads with clarity and breathes with purpose.
It’s for the man who’s done performing strength —
and ready to embody real presence.
When that quiet pull won’t go away —
that whisper saying something needs to shift —
That’s when you know: this retreat was built for you.
Men, this is for you when...
• You keep saying “everything’s alright” — but inside, you’re running on empty fumes.
• When you’ve been carrying much for too long — the cracks are starting to show in your health, relationship or the way you perform.
• You’re physically present at home, but mentally somewhere else — you crave space, to recharge and with real time for you.
• When you’re tired of doing it all alone, and you’re ready to be around men who understand and will support you.
• You feel stress shaping how you show up — in your body, your sleep, your patience, your relationships.
• When burnout no longer feels like a rational concept — it’s already close and you can sense it. You need room to breathe,
• You’re not lost… — but something deeper in you is asking for connection and direction.
• When you know it’s time to remember the man you are beneath all the grinding and doing.
• When you feel like you’re just scratching the surface of your potential — and finally say yes to whats possible.
The shift begins the moment you stop saying yes to everyone else — and finally say yes to yourself.
High performers, entrepreneurs, and CEOs all want the same thing: more time, presence and clarity — yet stay stuck in 6th-gear problem-solving mode… unable to slow down.

Men’s Week Immersion with Joren de Bruin
Are we called to step up as men?
The world is spinning fast and full of distractions.
It’s easy to lose ground and drift away from whats truly meaningful.
We believe men are needed with their depth, leadership and presence.
To take more responsibility for ourselves, as fathers and leaders in the world, and to show up more from a place of integrity, greater capacity and embodied leadership.
In this journey we will focus on you: The man within.
The man who feels home inside: grounded, empowered and alive.
We will focus on the part of you who welcomes honesty to grow.
Who loves taking responsibility because he knows thats where his power lies.
Who feels that slowing down is a healthy step to take.
Who loves a challenge because he knows reward is on the other side.
Who says yes to his vision even he’s afraid.
Who is fully present, with the world around him -and deeply connected to his purpose.

COLD NATURE IMMERSION
Daily exposure to the elements through cold water immersion in the lake.
Improve your stress response, presence and capacity to lead.
SURVIVAL WITH EARTH
Modern society has made many men comfortable. To the point most of us today would barely survive a week in the great outdoors.
We see the art of survival simply as an integral skill for us man to be a provider and protector.
Being a leader others can turn to for safety and protection.
In this retreat we make a bridge between the modern man and the wild man in you.
Harnessing fire.
Surviving on your own in the wild.
You will be challenged.
Through a very hands on approach, you’ll experience a practical and spiritual reconnection with yourself- and the great outdoor.
With a solo vision quest in the lush Forest as an ultimate experience to get lost- and find yourself.
THRIVING WITH MEN
We put a high emphasis on creating a highly supportive environment for men to rise in their leadership and masculinity.
You’ll experience genuine connection in the group and get highly personalized and tailored coaching and support.
Besides everyday challenges and doing deep reflective Innerwork, we will have fun.
Singing new songs out loud in the sauna or drum powerful beats with our voices around the fire.
You will contribute yourself to our food for the week, by helping us process and source meat from hunted animals.
Our Michelin Star Chef specialised in cooking with Wild Meat, will make the best wild meat dishes you’ve ever eaten.
And we will share our well earned meals everyday among new brothers.

OTHER INFORMATION
Testimonials
“From being initially skeptical of the approach, I went on an amazing journey with Joren and the tribe. After day one I started to realise things about myself I have never questioned before, and from that point I went on a magical ride of embrace, realisation, curiosity and reflection. I come back a totally different person, a better human being. I met friends I will have for life and I am so, so grateful for being able to have experienced the work Joren does. Truly life changing”.
