FATHER'S RETREAT

Being a father is the most important and hardest job you’ll ever have and there’s more expected of us than ever.
 
Yet most of us stumble and curse our clumsy footsteps with little or no support from fathers in the same boat. The role of a father is being redefined and long gone are the days when fathers were just providers and protectors, the role is deeper, the skills needed are broader and are rarely taught.
 
The Man Alive Fatherhood retreat is aimed at fathers looking to learn and grow. Fathers looking to share their struggles amongst a community of likeminded men.
 
We’ll spend time in the ocean learning to surf and on dry land we’ll build the foundations to help you cope with everything that comes with being an active Dad in full time work whilst nurturing loving relationships.
 
This group of men will become a support network like no other and they’ll be in your corner for life.

Why you should sign up?

 Honestly, for a lot of reasons. Here are a few.

  • It’s fun and you will grow immensely.
  • You’ll gain a community and support network of other like-minded men for life.
  • Men rarely talk about how hard it all is, you’ll leave feeling lighter, better supported and equipped to deal with anything.
  • You’re looking for ways to be more present and patient with your children.
  • The world needs new role models for fatherhood and you’re curious and courageous enough to try.
  • Because it works, and it breaks a pattern and shows our kids something different is possible. 
"It was such an inspiring, genuine and decent bunch of men. Hearing other people’s experience was incredible. I found so many insights and nuances around complex emotions and experiences."
