🌲 Men’s Woodland Days: Journey Through the Seasons 🌲

Men, when was the last time you truly felt alive?
When did you last take the time to reconnect with yourself, the earth beneath your feet, and the fire within you?

We live in a world that often asks us to suppress, to endure, to carry on. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to do it alone.

Men’s Woodland Days are for those who feel the pull to step away from the noise and into something more primal, something real. These seasonal days are an invitation to explore who you are, how you move through life, and what truly lies within you.

🌱 Imbolc -  Rising Energy: 8th February 2025
The sap is rising. The buds are swelling. Winter’s grip is loosening, and energy stirs beneath the surface—within the earth and within you.

This is a time for renewal. For waking up. For stepping into the man you’re meant to be.

What to expect:
🌿 Knowledge & Learning: Dive into emotions often left unspoken—fear, trust, guilt, and shame. Learn to name what you feel, understand what it means, and begin to navigate it with curiosity and strength.
🌿 Expression & Identity: Explore the voice inside that holds you back—your inner critic. Learn how to transform it into self-awareness and self-acceptance.
🌿 Embodied Practice: Through breathwork and movement, release what no longer serves you and invite vitality into your body. Feel grounded, present, and alive.
🌿 Play: Drop the masks society tells you to wear. Laugh. Move. Reconnect with your inner child and find freedom in the moment.

Why this matters:
This isn’t just another workshop. It’s a chance to step into the woods, into yourself, and into a community of men willing to explore what it means to truly grow.

And the best part? These days are completely FREE and open to all men.
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re starting from. All we ask is that you come with an open mind and a willingness to grow.
