Crossing the Threshold to Come Home to Yourself
7-day Soul Initiation trainings for men that bring them into direct contact with their feelings, sensations, and energies, allowing for deeper expression & presence than most men have ever experienced.
3rd - 9th May 2026 - Hidden Paradise, Spain
The World Needs More Heart-Led Men Showing Up On Purpose
Most men live disconnected from their essence, performing versions of themselves that leave them exhausted and unfulfilled.
Emergence Brotherhood creates containers where everything is included…
All emotions, experiences, and aspects of yourself. We hold wholeness at the centre, creating a space where nothing gets left out, where the parts of you that have been missing or incomplete can finally be acknowledged and integrated.
This is soul work for men.
In the body,
In brotherhood,
In the magic of being fully alive.
From Hidden Paradise 2024, this is a transmission of the 7-day journey.
The Initiation is for you if you’re ready to:
Connect deeper to your soul purpose
Experience & complete your missing rites of passage
Step into your power & awaken your aliveness
Discover your unique genius and the gift of your wounds
Explore what’s getting in the way of you manifesting abundance
Create meaningful friendships & deep bonds of brotherhood
Join an emerging movement of men standing for wholeness
We create a transformative space where men can journey into their depths, face what they've been suppressing, and step into a new level of wholeness.
“The Initiation is an opportunity to work through all the obstacles and the barriers that prevent us from being fully alive. ”
Graham Gough
A Seven-day Rite of Passage & Reclamation
What can I expect at this training?
The initiation consists of ceremonies, sacred rituals and embodied experiences specifically crafted to support you in coming into deep and lasting contact with your core being.
Together, we'll explore your relationship to:
The masculine & feminine within
The relationship between you and your inner child
Conflict, money, and power
Purpose, sex, and creativity
Brotherhood, friendship, and authentic connection
Your unique gifts and soul expression
We hold wholeness at the centre, creating experiences where all aspects of your being are welcomed and integrated. This is a soul initiation journey into your authentic self, embodied leadership, and soulful brotherhood.
The invitation is to explore your edges, move towards the unknown, and step into the fullness of who you truly are.
This is a lasting experience of profound transformation. If you're unsure about your readiness, feel free to book a discovery call.
A look into some of the themes we explore during The Initiation.
Beyond Traditional Men's Work
Unlike traditional men's work focused solely on masculine qualities, we invite integration of all aspects of your being: emotions, intuition, vulnerability, power, conflict, and creativity.
This journey to wholeness represents the next evolutionary edge in men's development.
We don't tell you what it means to be a man. You find your own way.
The World Needs Whole Men
What You'll Discover
Face What You've Pushed Aside
The shadows, emotions, and parts of yourself you've been conditioned to suppress.
We hold space for everything: your rage, your grief, your tenderness, your power.
Your life story provides the raw material for your greatest gifts.
Come Home to Your Essence
Everything belongs here.
Nothing gets left out.
No more performing, hiding behind armour and masks.
Discover who you truly are beneath the conditioning as a soul waiting to be unleashed and enlivened.
Be Witnessed in Your Truth
Experience what it means to be truly seen by other men, often for the first time.
Through expression and reflection, share what you've never shared before and receive what you've always longed for.
Soul-to-soul resonance in brotherhood.
A Glimpse into our Brothers’ Journeys
“I’ve really delved deep into the shadows to look at parts of myself that were unintegrated before."
Adnan - Initiation UK 2024
Our Approach Through Embodiment, Shadow Work, and Brotherhood
The initiation consists of ceremonies, sacred rituals and immersive embodiment experiences specifically crafted to invoke and provoke healing, expansion and balance in our being.
An embodied journey of soul initiation
Our approach begins and returns to the body. Through embodied experiences, authentic expression, and powerful reflections, we guide men to break through coping mechanisms and conditioned patterns.
Personal Material as Fuel
We believe every wound, challenge, and difficulty in your life has been shaping your unique genius.
By working with your personal material as fuel, we help you discover your authentic path and purpose, not by telling you who to be, but by removing what stands between you and your essence.
Journey Into Your Depths
We create the safety and support to break through what's getting in the way of your full expression. By moving into the unknown - the places you've been conditioned to avoid - we help you transform what's been hidden into a source of power.
Brotherhood of Deep Witnessing
At Emergence Brotherhood retreats, men experience being truly seen in their depths.
Through authentic expression and reflection, men share from the depths of their being and receive what they've always longed for.
The power of witnessing creates bonds that continue long after the retreat.
