ABOUT

“Me… No Masks, No Drama, Stripped Bare” is a weekend for men who are tired of pretending. It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering yourself — without the layers, roles, and expectations.


This is not therapy. It’s not a lecture.

It’s real conversations, body-based practices, and deep presence — held in nature and brotherhood.


Whether you are a city dweller or a country man, a thinker or a feeler, a father, son, partner, fighter or healer — this circle is for you.


Let’s gather.

Let’s grow.

Let’s remember.

OUR PURPOSE:

To create a space where men can:


  1. Drop the mask and show up as they are
  2. Reconnect to their body, breath, and truth
  3. Be witnessed and welcomed without judgement
  4. Share stories, sit in stillness, move, shake, laugh, cry, and just be


We gather not to fix, compare or perform —

We gather to remember.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

What we’ll do:

  1. Grounded, honest sharing (no fluff, no BS)
  2. Body-based practices: movement, TRE®, breathwork, and respectful touch
  3. Time in nature, around fire, and in stillness
  4. Moments of release, rest, belly laughter, and reconnection
  5. Guided rituals and experiences to help you feel again


POTENTIAL OUTCOMES:

You may leave this weekend:


  1. Feeling lighter, clearer, and more at home in your skin
  2. With new tools to regulate stress and emotions
  3. With a deeper connection to yourself — and a band of brothers who see you
  4. Reconnected to your truth, your body, your direction
  5. And most importantly… reminded that you are not alone


This is not a performance.

It’s a pause.

A remembering.

A sacred invitation to come back to you.


IS THIS FOR ME?

Nudity

The True Self is free and without identity. Clothing, labels and technology mask our True Self. We, therefore, invite you, if you feel comfortable, to shed these layers and experience the weekend with no restrictions.

F&Q

This event is open to men regardless. Often we can give ourselves a hard time on how we think we look to others, and this is an opportunity to go beyond that, to be vulnerable and to let others accept you just as you are. With open hearts, with an openness to accept everybody, let the magic of touch take you to new parts of yourself you never knew existed. Read more if you have any more questions FAQ.
