Heart and Fire
A Men's Activation Retreat
Oct 23-25
Earth Heart Sanctuary
Sebastopol, CA
An activation weekend for men who want to awaken their power, passion, and purpose.
You'll be guided by David Schlussel and Kid Beyond, two vibrant spiritual teachers with decades of men’s work experience.
In this powerful activation, you'll explore:
- Transforming old wounds, blocks, and patterns that keep you from your full potential.
- Unwinding from shame, fear, hiding, and playing small.
- Sharing yourself vulnerably and authentically with a supportive group of men.
- Deep embodiment practices of yoga and meditation.
- Ritual, ceremony, and primal connection in nature.
And you'll come away with:
- More power, confidence and clarity.
- A deeper connection to your body and heart.
- Tools and inspiration to create the life you deeply want to live.
- A brotherhood of men supporting you on your path.
The retreat is limited to 15 men – to make sure everyone is deeply served.
