Man Alive

Building lifelong community amongst likeminded men.

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to their grave with the song still in them”

Henry David Thoreau

For thousands of years, men have sat in circles together for comradeship, support, counsel, and to plan. Sadly these ceremonies have been lost and most men lack a tribe they can rely on. 
 
I started man alive to be a part of the solution. To help men reconnect with their physical bodies and with other men to have the sincere conversations they often never have. 
 
Man Alive brings a small group of men together to help you on life’s journey. To ignite something in you that may have laid dormant for a while. That whisper you hear sometimes that just makes your heart beat harder.
 
Our retreats connect likeminded men who will become a support network like no other. A group of men who will hold you accountable and help you discover your authentic effortless self.
 
Gatherings are for men seeking refuge with likeminded men to talk about the most important things in life. 

The Man Alive Retreat

A 3 day gathering for men looking to make a shift in their wellbeing, who would love to connect with other like-minded men to share conversations around subjects you typically wouldn’t talk about, whether it be relationship struggles, the hardships of balancing father-hood with work, imposter syndrome, family issues, trying to find purpose or would love to communicate better. 

Over the weekend we’ll cover everything from breathwork, meditation, cold exposure, the benefits of being barefoot, positive sleep habits, journaling, nutrition and the importance of functional fitness as we age.

Community

Having a group of like-minded men in your corner for life is vital in supporting your overall wellbeing. During your retreat you’ll spend quality time building community and camaraderie amongst the group, all done without any chanting, fire ceremonies or incense sticks. I also ensure I set you up for longterm success and give you the tools and frameworks to connect once a month for life, becoming the ultimate encouragement and support network.

Physical Activity

The science is clear, being active and moving our bodies, making our heart and lungs work is incredibly important in long term health and wellbeing.  I have been an outdoor enthusiast for over 20 years and see it as an incredible activity in maintaining physical fitness. 

Our retreats are active, yet scalable so whether your a cross-fit regular or someone aspiring to lead a more physically active lifestyle then I’d love to have you join us.

Nature

We’ll be embracing nature as it has a huge role to play in our overall wellbeing and happiness, the ocean in particular being a brilliant life long teacher.  Being in the ocean together is a beautiful way to deepen that connection with yourself and build camaraderie amongst each other in natures most humbling arena.

Location: Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Our home is in the far corner of West Wales, perched on a hill overlooking the waves in the only Coastal National Park in the UK. Here, where the road ends at the sea, numerous diverse strands come together: sea and mountain, art and history, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon influences, and year-round opportunities for adventure. Being out here on the edge brings about a sense of deeper connection to nature, each other and more importantly, to yourself. It also creates a sense of optimism. Of tranquility. Of abundance.  We have some of the finest blue flag beaches anywhere in the UK and an abundance of surf options on our doorstep. The surf is consistent with clear, clean waters and is perfect for beginners and more advanced surfers.  

We look forward to welcoming you out on the rugged Welsh coast.
