Retreats/Workshops
I seek to create a safe and supportive environment where participants can let go of their daily stressors and fully immerse themselves in a transformative experience that fosters a deeper connection with one’s own inner world, where new community is formed, and new insights and learnings abound.

Manshine 2024
South-East Queensland Men’s Gathering
Lake Somerset, Brisbane Valley
May 3rd - May 6th, 2024
Manshine 2024 is an invitation for men to temporarily disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and take part in a three-day odyssey of personal growth within a nurturing community. Proudly sponsored by Mens Wellbeing QLD, the retreat offers a diverse array of workshops, recreational activities, group sharing sessions, and ample opportunities to commune with nature. Participants will find practical tools to help navigate the challenges of our lives and the world today. Manshine serves as a sanctuary for introspection, connection, and personal growth, guiding attendees toward a deeper understanding of their own values and aspirations.
The opening ceremony will guide you through an exploration of your gifts and challenges, setting the tone for a weekend of self-discovery. Beyond workshops, you’ll have ample time to chill and explore the grounds. Nature walks, meditation spaces, open campfires, and a café-style community area provide opportunities for reflection and connection with like-minded brothers. - (Manshine 2024 website).

Past Events
MENERGY 2023
NEW DATES: November 9-12, 2023
Due to widespread flooding last month, Menergy 2023 has been rescheduled to November 9-12. The retreat offers a unique opportunity for men to temporarily switch off from the demands of daily life and immerse themselves in a 3 day transformative experience in community. Through a diverse range of workshops, soccer, footy, sharing circles, and plenty of time to immerse oneself in the natural world, participants will gain valuable insights into navigating the complexities of these challenging times through holistic practices that nurture self care. Menergy provides a space for introspection, connection, and personal development, ultimately allowing attendees to reconnect with what matters most to them.
I'm thrilled to be joining the incredibly talented group of facilitators (a sample listed below) at the upcoming Menergy 2023 weekend in the stunning Licola Village, Victoria! I will be leading a Men's Dreamwork Circle. Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Our dreams contain symbolic representations of our relationships and interactions with others, as well as revealing areas in our lives that are out of balance and require closer attention.
By sharing and reflecting on the dream symbols within the circle, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your connections with those in your life. The workshop will offer practical tips on approaching your dreams and provide an opportunity to connect with fellow dream explorers, forging deep bonds as we uncover the untapped potential within your dreams.

I hope to see you there!
“All through your life, the most precious experiences seem to vanish. Transience turns everything to air. You look behind and see no sign even of a yesterday that was so intense. Yet in truth, nothing ever disappears, nothing is lost. Everything that happens to us in the world passes into us. It all becomes part of the inner temple of the soul and it can never be lost. This is probably why the soul never surfaces fully. The intimacy and tenderness of its light would blind us….”
John O’Donohue - “Beauty: The Invisible Embrace” (2005).
