Welcome to this unique journey that will take you into the depths of your feelings, to reconnect you with parts of yourself that will bring you alive and touch the very core of your being.
This is an opportunity, through feeling, to open to the incredible potential inside you, which is waiting to be recognised; to come back to the heart of who you truly are as a man. So that you can live with a clear sense of your unique calling, connect with your loved ones and enjoy rich, intimate relationships.
Do you have a sense that these things are missing?
Maybe you have a nagging feeling that something is out of alignment. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you feel out of touch; with your partner, with your friends, with your work, even with yourself.
As you read this right now, are there feelings in your body that you usually cut off from?
Many of us have had to go numb and have been trying to cover up what is longing to be felt and healed.
Deep down, do you know there is something calling you that you have been avoiding, that you are ready to make this journey of transformation?
Are you ready to answer this call? Are you ready to step into a deeper capacity within yourself?
In a small closed group of men at a remote centre near Dartmoor, you will be compassionately guided to discover what connection means to you and how you may unconsciously avoid it. We will be guiding you through processes that incorporate meditation, tantra, hypnotherapy, yoga and shadow work to guide you into a somatic experience of your body in order to explore your deepest feelings - not only those you know of, but also those you unconsciously hide within your shadow.
This is not your average men’s circle; we won’t have you screaming out at the top of your lungs, or beating the crap out of pillows to try to clear stuck emotion, or competing to be accepted by the group. We won’t put you on the spot or challenge you to do something that is not right for you.
Together, we will explore how we can give and receive love through words and touch, and open to receiving love in the places where we most need it.
A series of gradually deeper processes will help us build a space where you can, at your own pace, explore the feelings in the deepest places within yourself. This will be a sacred space among your brothers where your essential essence will be seen and unconditionally accepted.
If you are carrying a deep sadness, we offer you a space to grieve. But this isn’t just about opening to pain; it is about allowing the joy and magic of the child inside you to shine. It is about reconnecting with yourself so that you can live in rich intimacy with loved ones. It is about softening into the profound vulnerability and immense power within your body... into the fierce aliveness of your soul’s true nature. To find who you truly are.

About Ed
Believe me, I know what it is like to be stuck, numb and without feeling. And I also know just how empowering it is to find healing, connection and freedom. That is why this work is so important to me.
My journey with this work started young; in my early 20’s my emotional blocks led me to be debilitated by a chronic illness. At this age, it seemed like the worst thing; it totally destroyed the life I had. With hindsight, it was the catalyst for transformation into a richness of life I never knew was possible.
As I began to engage on a meditative path, I began to realise that I have a unique sensitivity for tuning into the very subtle on a feeling level. For noticing the places which might otherwise be missed; the lost frozen places within each of us which are ever so faintly crying out for love. And for tuning into the environment and resources that are needed for what has been lost to come home
I have spent many years training extensively with various masters, including Stephen Gilligan, Jan Day and Mateo Tabatabai, as well as more formal training (Doctorate in Psychology, Cert in Hypnotherapy, etc).
My facilitation weaves together aspects of tantra and shadow work to guide people to connect with their natural aliveness and resources, so they can be more fully themselves in all aspects of their life.

FAQs
-
I recognise that this can be a difficult decision. I suggest considering what your financial circumstances and finding a fee that honours you right now.
I intentionally offer a sliding scale to make my work accessible to all; higher payments subsidise lower payments. The lowest tier prices are intended for those on low/no income without any savings. For comparison of mid/high tiers, the full cost of a four-day Living Tantra workshop is around £950 (including F&A).
-
No, the lowest tier prices are intended for those who need them. However, I have included a time limit on the availability of these places.
-
On the booking page there is an option to request a lift, offer a lift or to share a taxi. We create a lift share sheet from anyone who requests this which will be release to all participants a few weeks before the workshop.
-
For the work we are doing, it is essential that all participants stay on site. This allows the time and space to discover, strengthen and develop your Sovereign Energy, both individually and as a group. We also have a very full programme!
-
Arriving at 5.30pm gives you time to be welcomed, to check in and to settle into your accommodation before dinner.
-
We ask for your accommodation preferences on the page where you reserve your place - the sooner you book, the more likely it is that you get your first choice. We try hard for everyone to get their first choice, however it can't be guaranteed.
