Men’s Week Immersion
Into the Wild Within
with Joren de Bruin
More than ever men are called forward to lead themselves in an embodied, empowered and purposeful way.
The world is spinning fast, it’s easy to lose ground and ourselves. Men are needed with their depth, love and presence. Showing up and leading more from a place of love, integrity and a deeper capacity to hold themselves.
In this journey we will focus on you. On the man within that feels home inside. Feeling free, wild, integral and alive.
We will focus on the part of you that knows how to lead from within, that is fully present from the inside, with the world around him and while deeply connected to his purpose.
An experience centred around self leadership, brotherhood and rewilding.

Joren has a fantastic ability to lead a group, even in tough situations he remains perfectly calm and pulls the group together. Being guided by him is a truly transformative experience”.

Expect a true deep dive into learning how to be more resource full as a man in the wild. How to more self reliant, responsible and resourceful.
As a ritual of spiritual reconnection to our outer ecology - the earth - we practice survival skills like primitive fire-making through sourcing material from the surrounding forest.

We use the power of breath, sound, dance and meditation to connect body & mind through energetic practices:
Breath work practice guided by live music to cleanse, release and supercharge
Sound healing journeys to relax the nervous system and tune the energetic field
Free flow conscious movement & ecstatic dance to release and connect
Heart opening meditations & visualisations
