Expedition

What is the journey of men?

Your intention is to develop yourself, to become more aware of who you are, discover more deeply what is your own path. This expedition is a powerful way to help you focus on this intention and achieve important change in your life. You distance yourself from everything in your life, what remains is you. During an intake we look at what your adventure in your life is, what hinders you and how you want to use the journey outside for your journey inwards. The journey outdoors brings physical, mental and emotional challenges, and moments to enjoy total relaxation, peace and being one with yourself. This helps you to get to the core of yourself, and of your intention.
 

Reset
With just your backpack to carry, your tent, mat and sleeping bag, with all food with us, we are completely off-grid. Free and nothing els to do then to arrive at our next camp, set up your tent, cook, eat. Simple things bring you back to basic. The overwhelming nature of the high mountains makes that you distance yourself from the hectic pace of your daily life. You will experience a sense of reset. Only you remain. A simple man in a great universe. Then you are great company for yourself!

The hero's journey

The leading guide on this expedition is the so-called ‘hero’s journey’ by Joseph Campbell. The hero's journey is a metaphor for the journey you make as a human being on your way to yourself, your authenticity, your heart. During the expedition we go through the 8 phases of the journey guided by the classic and beautiful story of Parcifal, which gives us courage, confidence, and important insights and inspiration for our own road. 
Day by day we travel through the eight stages of the hero’s journey. They offer you a framework to reflect on where you came from, where you are on your journey now, and what lies ahead, to help you find your own path in life. You will see the lessons you learned, the ones you are learning now and the ones that are waiting for you. You make steps right then and there. This is taking the challenge of your adventure.
Excercises, rituals, sharings, meditations guide you to deepen your awareness of yourself. Sometimes alone, sometimes while walking in conversation with someone else, sometimes with the other men in the circle. You share your experiences, feelings, thoughts and get feedback from your brothers. In doing so, the trainers provide a safe and in-depth setting. Some moments there is opportunity for individual coaching. This way you determine your own path during the trip.

Only men
Going out with a group of men will give you a unique experience of friendship and brotherhood with men. Most of us have never experienced this before in our life. We form a tribe of men, which means you endure and persist together the force of the elements of nature, you support and confront each other, enjoy and laugh together, build camp and cook together, share around the fire. This creates trust, strength and vulnerability and a deep connection with yourself and the other men. Travel companions on the road outside and in, you are a support and mirror of each other's process. So you can form a new image of how to shape your own masculinity. Of how you want to be man. 
 

Walking
The physical effort makes that you reconnect with your body, experiencing your strength and vitality. Man you will feel so alive. In normal life we usually think our way out of problems, producing the same known answers over and over again without really finding new insights. When you walk, space automatically opens in your head. Walking sets the brain literally in motion. Your mind becomes more open to receive unexpected and in-depth insights, that naturally arise.
