Proper Man Weekend

man group 7 

There's a primal need for all men to meet together, it's a need that most of us ignore or fail to act on. Men need good men in their lives. Otherwise we start to believe that there are no good men, we succumb to the idea that men are not trustworthy... mostly based on our own faulty beliefs about ourselves!

We're planning a special weekend in May that will give you an opportunity to do some inner and outer work. We know that part of our identity in life is formed around the service that we do, as much as it it is formed around the way that we create ourselves in how we choose to be and act.

So we've arranged to become a part of a growing story, a new chapter that is launching itself in the world. We wanted to get in at the beginning, before it's world famous, so that we can leave our mark on the project!

We also want to blend in time for men to be heard, felt and seen by other incredible men. To be held in an environment that only men can create for each other and to be nourished by loving masculine input.

The story is a brand new retreat centre in the heart of Belgium, The Katalpa Life Center. The story is a vision that a man and a woman had to create a home and a place for people to gather together for the betterment of themselves and others. The part we want to play in the early stages of this creation is to offer our service to the land, to the building, to the growth of this special vision.

We don't know what we are going to be needed for, but we know that we are meant to help! Perhaps we will be moving rubble on the land, chopping wood, repairing a fence or painting. Whatever is needed, we know that we will be at the right place at the right time to provide support!

We're planning time for reflection, for receiving honest feedback, to gather in circle to be witnessed by our brothers and receive some coaching on important topics in our lives. We'll also spend time in celebration, of ourselves, of each other, of life, of manhood!

This is your invitation to join us on this weekend adventure. An opportunity to be a part of this amazing story as it unfolds - to give your love and service for a couple of days to make their vision come to life a little more quickly and easily! It's an opportunity not only to give, but to receive - with the support of like-minded and like-hearted brothers.

So come and be with us, learn with us, grow with us, play with us and serve with us!
