What is the Initiation Journey?
What are we going to
do for 7 days as men?


 Surrender
Allow
Dance

Laugh and invoke our inner child.

Activate our bodies through sacred Ritual.

Remember who we actually are as men in this lifetime.

Re-Discover your reason for existence.

During these seven days you will go through a series of experiential journeys designed to support you in initiating yourself into integrated wholeness  
Why Should Men come together for this Initiation?
Like all transformations it begins as an inside job.
As we offer ourselves to the evolutionary fires of initiation; we become what we seek to bring into the world.

This is the sacred journey of the modern spiritual warrior and it is best to share this journey in a collective brotherhood.

Old styles of masculine leadership are failing.
To share in vulnerability as a collective group of men is incredibly healing.

To support and allow another man to hear your deepest weaknesses, can be your greatest strength.

It’s time to reshape and reform the conditioning around male intimacy.
 
How We Do It?

 Invoking a deeper connection to nature.
Sacred Fire
Brotherhood.

Deep personal sharing

Activating the penetrative powers of our heart.

Deep Listening

Celebration of each other’s uniqueness.

Deepening in knowledge around Sexuality & Spirituality

Invoking your own Inner Wisdom.

 I got hit hard from day one and then told it was just a beginning and a taste. It was incredible and I loved the intensity and the deep connection. I loved to see Aaron speak his truth with tears in his eyes and his willingness to give to us all that wisdom. I really hope to take the vulnerability I allowed this week into my outside life. To be brave to show the complete me to myself and the world! 
Attila Akatr 
This embodiment of deep insights, this experience is a transformational, self empowering journey into brotherhood. Using breath, movement and sound as basic tools to find my powers in the subconscious held in sacred space by brothers who are healing at the same time. 
Alejandro Ortiz
This is a retreat that every man on the planet should go through not only to transform themselves but to heal the world. 
Alexandre Alcacer
I highly recommend this experience to any man willing to find a true embodiment of brotherhood and get a better perspective to what it means to be a man in today's world. 
Tony Wittman
This has been a retreat I will not soon forget. I have become more secure with my physical body & my short comings. I would recommend to any man willing to explore their boundaries without judgment. 
Jona Merla
 My experience in the retreat was amazing. I feel I'm a new man. More centered, more secure and less shaky. I'm taking home lots of new teachings and wisdom to apply in my daily life. I am also wanting to go deeper in this knowledge and in my sexuality. Thanks for all of this. 
Dean Phillips
 I have experienced in this short time, received and given, more expensive brotherhood than ever else in my life. Such deep love beyond taboos shared with men, exploring concepts and possibilities I didn't even realize were possible, but my soul had always craved. 
Wayne
 Hoover
 This retreat was the most expanding, grounding, powerful, connecting, men retreat I have ever participated in. I have so much gratitude and feel so blessed to have been here. It has powerfully affected my life. 
Scott Arnink
 As my first step into this world, I quickly discovered that I had formed my people, my place within the 1st day. I could tell this would be a journey like no other. I was so impressed with the sequence of lessons and how we rapidly climbed upthrough the rubble of our perception and into the place of love and freedom. This truly is an initiation and should not be missed too. Change your world. It’s safe here. 
Mathieu orloff
 Beyond the masks, there is the heart. And it's sometimes a long way to reach it. Especially from a man to another man. Beyond the competition, there is love. And it can be scary to express it and let it grow. It's what this experience led us to. As brotherhood, the ability to vibrate love from our hearts. 
Henry Rodriguez
 This transformational experience is by far the most deep and expansive retreat I have ever been to. It will challenge you in every aspect of your life. A must for anyone wanting personal growth.

About
This Men’s Initiation Journey is a way of bringing men together in vulnerability, in brotherhood, in sisterhood, and in their heads and hearts. From it’s conception a seed was planted to start birthing these initiation journeys for other MEN all over the world. This is happening. It is time to start coming together to redefine masculinity and to support men into their full integration.

Ivan Dursk
 I am still processing the profound shifts within myself. The depth and power of this work has repeatedly brought me to tears, triggered deep wounds that were begging to be acknowledged and brought to the light and revealed a connection to sacred brotherhood that is otherwise completely unavailable to my generation. The rituals are initiations into the wholeness of manhood, restored from long-forgotten tribal practices. 
Christopher Krohn 
 Work of this kind should be regarded as essential to any man seeking to embody his full and truest self, to improve his relationship with men, women, family, God and self. This experience touches upon the way we will address business, career, friendship, and all. I am reborn, renewed, and ready to deepen this journey. 
Daniele Crivello
 Knowing we need to work on ourselves means to touch into the unknown. This retreat allows us to hear and be heard. Techniques beyond traditional methods are presented and we expand our view of ourselves and the world. Connection unlike any other. This retreat is needed for all men to explore.

 I learned so much on so many levels. I grew up more this week more than what I did for years and any other moments of my life. I am excited to practice and share my new me with the people I love, with my partner, with my parents, brothers, and friends. 
Joost
 What a challenging roller-coaster week this has been. I was challenged in many ways. I stretched my boundaries and stepped out of my comfort zone many times. I have learned so much and I felt so much support & love during my journey. I want to say many thanks to Aaron and his amazing team. 
Dean Piper
 “This is my second time attending the initiation journey as I felt how powerful, transformative and liberating this experience was last year and wanted to explore more depths of myself. The journey each time has revealed more and more of my true authentic self and expression by removing layers and layers of conditioning, fear, doubt, shame and guilt. Thank you Aaron and Shahid, much appreciation for you both.”  
Russ Oro
 This retreat allowed me to look at the parts of myself that I had not seen. With the support of my brothers, I was able to do things that I wouldn’t have thought possible. I appreciate the special benefits of this men’s retreat. 
Jai
 A deep exploration into what it is to be embodied as a man. Excellent facilitation by Aaron and team. This retreat helped me get in touch with my feminine as well as embody my masculine. 
Verdaluz
 Feeling such gratitude in my heart to be witnessed by the masculine; to experience life as raw, wild, deep & playful; the panorama of masculine presence. 
Juan Cruz Argento
 I came to the retreat looking for the man in me, but I did not know the love that would happen. I had many intense, rollercoaster full days where I connected to my inner fears, anxiety, anger, sadness and was able to let them all go. Coming to the end of the retreat, I felt a deeper still presence in me; a strong life force that held me strongly, joyfully and with peace. The love and presence I have been looking for in external masculine, I first found it in my brothers here, and I finally found it in me. I’m totally grateful for this embodied experience for the rest of my life. Thank you 
Filipe Pinto Soares
 The initiation journey has been a deep dive into the unknown and a deep dive into my masculine and feminine, to love all that’s there that wasn’t loved before. I have come fully in my center of awareness. I am stepping back into the world with more presence, peace, aliveness, love, compassion and brotherhood. Thank you, this has changed my life. 
Leo
 I came with an open heart knowing that I would be surprised, and I did, big time. I was able to go to inner places that I never imagined existed inside of me. I am going home with deep feeling of gratitude and a completely different way in relating with the masculine and feminine. 
Frank Striefler
 Aaron is a master facilitator and a way-shower. The retreat will push your boundaries in a safe space. I’ve done a fair share of tantra and personal transformation workshops and retreats. This was my first men only retreat and I wish for mankind that every brother will get a chance to do this men’s initiation journey. 
Brad
 I was really able to let my guard down. Before the retreat, I would often put my guard up against gay man and keep everyone at a distance. This process has allowed me to let my brothers in, in a loving way and still maintain my boundaries. I feel open and loving and excited to bring this to the world. 
Elowan
 
 Wow! Powerful, deep, profound, sweet, intense. Overall, a wild ride through my own consciousness, process, patterns, and blocks. I felt a sweet letting go and deep connection with my brothers. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to feel and be supported in my process and healing. Deep evolution.
