A unique opportunity to reflect on the life you’ve lived, choices made, wounds carried, strengths forged, and an invitation to step more fully into the man you’re becoming with greater clarity and intention.
What happens at the event?
This is not your average getaway!
It’s a bold step into connection, reflection, and growth, all held in a safe, respectful, and powerfully facilitated space.
This is a space where men come together – not to fix themselves, but to remember who they are.
You’ll be immersed in powerful, respectful group work rooted in trust, choice, and vulnerability.
Through innovative sessions, embodied processes, and real conversations in circle, you’ll be invited to drop the armour and meet yourself (and other men), with honesty and heart.
We weave in ritual, reflection, and moments of stillness, alongside laughter, music, and rich connection.
You’ll walk through vibrant Balinese villages, share meals prepared with care, and soak in the culture, beauty, and spirit of the land.
This event offers more than rest.
It’s a return: to your truth, to your body, to your direction.
It’s a springboard into what’s next, grounded in the strength of community, the depth of shared experience, and the freedom just to be yourself.
Why Bali?
Where else could you participate in an 7-day fully facilitated, all-inclusive program with exceptional service and accommodation just sufficiently ‘out of the way’ to concentrate on just you?
We offer a genuinely stunning adventure. (For those of you with partners, you might consider having them join you in Bali either before or after the event. Many previous attendees have chosen this option, so talk to us about this possibility).
What's in it for you?
Previous participants have reported that they experienced:
- A renewed willingness to release the weight of the past and meet life with fresh eyes
- Greater clarity on the road ahead — not just what you want to do, but who you want to be
- A deeper, more grounded connection to family, place, and personal story
- The courage to fully own and honour your life’s journey so far: the highs, the lows, and everything in between
- A strengthened sense of self-respect and a genuine respect for the path others walk
- Insight into your deeper purpose, and how to bring that into your daily life, with intention

John Broadbent
John (aka ‘JB’) is an engaged father to 2 sons, a husband and a businessman, and has been actively involved in men’s work for almost 30 years. He published ‘Man Unplugged – Exploring The Inner Man’ in 2014, which is soon to be re-released as a fully updated 2nd Edition.
He continues to explore his eldership by helping other men take their inward journey with purpose and support.
His co-facilitation with Luke stemmed from running the Nullarbor Sojourn in 2023: 12 men in the middle of nowhere, for an entire week!
And it was magical!
He, too, has experienced the enhanced richness and fullness of life, resulting from men’s work and how that has deeply supported his own unfoldment.
