Integrating The Fire Within You
Embody the full capacity of your warrior roots
Next Workshop:
Friday 29th - Sunday 31st March 2024
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 fierceness 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 rage, self violence or harsh inner voices that keep us in a place of victimhood.
We will be taking a deep dive to reclaim this hidden strength inside of you so that you can;
Set clear boundaries with yourself and others to make space for what you really value,
Make clear, confident choices that stand up for what you believe in
Enjoy the vital dynamism of your raw, wild life force energy.
Take meaningful action in your life
In your life right now, do you live from a place of personal power?
Or do you know there are aspects of fierce energy you shy away from?
Does it feel safer to stay small, or easier to avoid conflict? Does it seem like you don’t have much choice; that you are at the mercy of your life situation?
This journey isn’t about smashing through your fears. Any vulnerability you feel around power actually makes a lot of sense because in our collective unconscious we hold the experience of just how badly wrong things can go when power is abused.
But if you do not claim your power there are probably other forces within and outside of you that will.
This is an invitation to come home to the rested sense of power that can hold you and your world like a good father; through fear & self doubt, through rage & reactions, through complaints and resistance, so that you can create the life you are here to live.
As you read this right now, do you know there is a fire deep down within you you have been been avoiding?
Are you ready to step into the full potential ?
At a remote retreat centre near Dartmoor, we will be taking a journey into our fierce aliveness and finding freedom from the ways we block expressions of power. We’ll be working with specifically designed exercises that incorporate meditation, tantra, hypnotherapy, yoga and shadow work to help you bring anger, rage and self-judgement out of shadow, and learning how this energy can be expressed cleanly with a connection to the heart.
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 and discover the profound safety that a the warrior within you can create.
We will be supporting you to come home to how empowerment looks within you as an individual. So that you can come to your own version of fierce love and be the man you were always meant to be.

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, 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 intentionally offer a sliding scale to make my work accessible to all; higher payments subsidise lower payments and concessions. The invitation is to consider your financial circumstances and decide what amount honours you right now.
-
Concessionary places are subsidised by men who are able to pay a higher fee on the sliding scale. If you know you want to come on this workshop and the lower tier price is not affordable for you, please send me an email and we can discuss whether there is a way to make this possible.
-
There are several times within the programme set aside to do process work in the circle, so if you have a particular issue we will encourage you to bring this. However, we will not be offering a set period of time for each man to work, as we have done on some of our previous workshops.
-
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!
