Welcome to this transformative journey that will take you boldly and directly into the potential hidden within your primal roots, so that you can embody the clarity, confidence and self-trust to empower your life. 

In this workshop you won’t be encouraged to be loud and dramatic, or to push through in order to ‘man up’ to a macho ideal of being a warrior. Instead we’ll be getting to know the subtle places where this archetypal energy is already leaking out in shadow — often through unmet anger, self-criticism, rage or harsh inner voices that keep us in a place of reactivity, collapse, or burnout.

Together, we will create space to reclaim the fierce, grounded capacity within you, so you can:

  • Set clear boundaries with others and yourself, and make space for what you truly value, 

  • Make confident decisions with faith in yourself, even when fear is present

  • Reclaim your life force, your drive, and your right to take up space

  • Access and express your anger in healthy, integrated ways

  •  Take meaningful actions in your life, standing up for what you believe in.

In your life right now, do you live from a place of personal power?

Even reading this right now, you may have a sense that on some level you are playing small — that part of you that knows there’s more to life than just coping, comparing or feeling powerless.

Maybe it feels safer to avoid conflict. Maybe deep down you feel you’ve been taught not to trust your power, or that showing up fully means someone else will lose. You’re not alone in that — and there are good reasons for it. Many of us have never seen healthy power modelled. We’ve been conditioned to either suppress our strength or use it to dominate.

This workshop is not about smashing through the fear you feel in relation to power — it’s about meeting it with compassion and discovering the profound safety that true power can create.

This is an invitation to come home to a rested sense of power that can support you like the strength of a good father, through all of life’s challenges, so you can be clear, capable, and ready.

At a remote retreat centre near Dartmoor, we’ll take time away from distractions to meet the places in ourselves where we’ve been blocking expressions of power. The energy it takes to push things down — our anger, our clarity, our confidence — can leave us feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure who we really are. This is a space to slow down and listen to what’s underneath, to begin reclaiming the parts of ourselves that got buried under fear, shame, or the need to fit in.

We’ll be working with specifically crafted techniques that incorporate meditation, tantra, hypnotherapy, yoga and shadow work, all designed to bring anger, rage and self-judgement out of shadow and connect you with your power, your truth, and your life force.

Any honest exploration of the most powerful places within requires making space for the immense vulnerability that is carried in relation to this archetype. We will be actively making space for your fear, with the tenderness that is necessary to transform old imprints, so you can discover your own grounded expression of strength in a way your nervous system can actually trust, and from there step into the confidence to live as the man you’ve always known you can be.

  • It was with some reservations that I made my way to the Eden centre, but I needn't have worried. Ed held the group expertly, and responded amazingly to everything that was brought by myself and the other attendees. I left the weekend with a better understanding about my anger, how I relate to it, and even how it can be a positive force within me. I've taken what I learned on this retreat back to my therapist, and have made noticeable steps forward as a direct result of the work I did with Ed. Highly recommended.

About Ed

At a young age I got to know the damage that is created when the warrior energy is in shadow. Somewhere deep within my unconscious I had made the decision, “I’m never going to be like that” and learnt to shut down this masculine expression, so believe me I know what it was like to live without power, as well as just how liberating it is to reclaim my it.

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 and Jan Day, 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 intentionally offer a sliding scale to make my work accessible to all. The lowest tier prices are intended for those on low/no income without any savings or assets. Men who pay the higher tier prices subsidise the cost of men who can only afford the cheaper places.

    I recognise that this can be a difficult decision. I suggest considering what your financial circumstances are and choosing a price that honours you current situation.

    For comparison of mid/high tiers, the full cost of a 3-day Living Tantra workshops costs around £720 (including F&A), where as men’s weekends are often priced around £750 for a Friday-Sunday workshop (one day shorter).

  • No, the lowest tier prices are intended for those who need them. However, these places do tend to go early on.

  • 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.
