This is the pinnacle of our retreats, my signature experience for a small curated group of six men who have previous experience with deep inner work. It is a journey that takes courage, but the rewards are great, as its effects are deep and truly life changing. Designed as a proper reset, it helps you to leave behind what no longer serves you and see what is next for you in life.

Over the years I see a similar pattern in the three main challenges that participants share and that very well reflect my own struggles. These three themes quietly shape a man’s life, often without him even realizing the full cost. These are not just minor frustrations—they ripple through his personal relationships, his leadership, and ultimately, his sense of self. 

We’ve been receiving messages from the wives and girlfriends of the men who come on our retreats. Reading them is a reminder of why we do this work—because something truly shifts in a man when he steps fully into himself, and those shifts ripple out into the lives of the people he loves. Here are the top 10 things partners are noticing and praising.

At first, the Hero’s Journey, as described by Joseph Campbell, seems like a purely logical concept—but its precision is almost scary.

I have traveled the world, been to Formula 1 paddocks, VIP lounges of Champions League, craziest parties but the real adventure started when I embarked on the journey of exploring the inner realms of myself.

This is my basic philosophy. It made me more curious and helped me to open my mind. This is huge because before hitting 40 I became a bit jaded with life, thought I experienced it all, becoming almost cynical. Feeling stronger, being healthier and more stable in everyday life. Less dependant on what others think. It made me a humble and a better person.

Coming from a culture where sauna is an integral part of keeping both our spirit and body healthy, I consider Temazcal one of the most beautiful Mesoamerican traditions. 

Bringing the whole community together regularly to go through the ritual process of purification, healing and renewal, while showing gratitude to all the elements is truly a meaningful, yet still challenging experience. 

A cold reminder that there is no space for our mind during rituals and times when we seek to reach the “higher inteligence”. After reading Graham Hancock’s Supernatural, and hearing so many stories from my friends my mind was racing with expectations and still after the 3rd serving of Ayahuasca I found myself sitting by the fire, still not “feeling” anything. It was only after the Shaman told me to be ok with it and go get some rest in the hammock that I switched off my mind and the journey had begun.

Kambo is a gift of nature. A traditional Amazonian medicine made from the secretion of a giant monkey frog. On physical level it removes stored toxins and waste from liver, lymphatic system and intestines. On emotional level it releases suppressed fears and bottled up emotions. In my experience it also helps dramatically to overcome lethargy and mental fog.

In marketing we call it great storytelling. For Shamans it is weaving purpose and intention into everything they do so that it carries the desired energy. Whether that means singing a joyful song when making a meal, or declaring clear intentions for every item added to an altar or a despacho. 

The wisdom of the shaman is something that has been passed down to me through deep teachings and personal experience. My journey into shamanism was guided by a respected elders from both Peruvian Quechua tradition and Venezuelan Tribú who shared with me not only the teachings of the spirit but also the simple, yet profound practices that allow one to live in harmony with all of life.

Over the years, I’ve found that reconnecting with nature has transformed not only my spiritual life but also my relationship with food. Through learning from tribal practices and ancient wisdom, I’ve come to appreciate the abundance and gifts that nature provides us in a deeper way. And this shift in perspective has led me to a more nourishing relationship with food—one that truly supports and nurtures my body.

What if you wanted to escape the Matrix? The shamanic path teaches us that personal freedom is a continuous process—one that requires awareness, courage, and the willingness to constantly evolve. It's not a destination, but a journey of growth, authenticity, and living in harmony with the world around us.

The ritual itself is like a living mandala—an intricate design made with seeds, plants, spices, and offerings, each contributing to a greater harmony with the universe. It’s a beautiful, symbolic dance with the elements, where every piece placed on the altar holds significance.

Shosh Mannix was first to reveal a method that divides humanity into eleven central frequencies. She does this by essentially what is a sniff test, where by the smell that resonates with you most determines your frequency. Being a curious projector, I gave it a go.

As men, many of us carry invisible emotional cords that tie us to our mothers in ways that can be subtle but deeply impactful. These connections, often formed during childhood and left unresolved, can prevent us from fully stepping into our own power and maturity as adults. Whether we realize it or not, this energetic attachment affects not just our relationships with women, but every area of our lives, including how we show up at work and in leadership positions.

A Daily Breathwork To Charge Your Energetic Body. A Shaman first heals himself, and only then others. On my journey I learnt that just as we care for our physical body, we must care for our energetic body.

Crawling from a break up, feeling my heart in deep need of healing, for me to open up fully to the love I know is within me, I asked a Russian Shaman lady to guide me through a journey using rapé.

With my tendency to overthink everything, and sometimes being too polite in my business encounters, I can end up quite tense at the end of the day. This might accumulate over time and then I found Sananga is really useful and pragmatic tool to clear these energetic blockages and move around this stale energy. Making me, and my emotions, flow like water again.

From my own experience, I believe that should one man have the courage to work on himself, addressing his fears and finding his inner balance, the impact of his actions can ripple through generations, touching the hearts and minds of all who came before him and shall come after.
