Sacred Masculine Expedition
Retrieve the sacredness that men once embodied on this Earth.
Come and explore the origin of what masculinity stood for, and how that lives on in you.
Look back on your life and the examples of masculinity you have had. And how they lacked any form of sacredness but instead created pain, apathy, conflict and disconnection.
This is for those of you who have never felt comfortable with the masculine image our societies and families have provided. For you who have had to live according to the examples you received, but they never felt truthful or whole. They never felt like your authentic story.
Join this expedition to lay down the old image of masculinity you have carried, and step into something new.
The Wounded Masculine
We all carry wounds, and what you see around you in the world, are nothing but expressions of a wounded masculinity. Behavioural forms of the masculine, that we now call masculinity. Here some examples of these patterns:
01
Out of touch with your feelings
When was the last time you felt emotions? Or your body? How deep do your feelings, or the understanding of your feelings, go?
02
Difficulty to understand or feel others.
The cliché criticism is actually true: not having empathy. People say you are not listening, you don't understand. You an incapacity to use your senses.
03
You have to toughen up
'Be a man'. Work hard, take responsibility and solve your problems. There is no room for gentleness to not know, be insecure.
04
Pressure to perform
In your role as a father, husband, provider of food or a safe home, in your work, and feeling the fear of failing to meet expectations.
In the expedition we give you the possibility to deconstruct these old behaviours and habits, and open yourself up to a richer and fuller self.

About The Expedition
The expedition gives you the opportunity to live a new image of the masculine inside yourself. One that you perhaps have never felt or lived. A form of masculinity that resonates with you, on a soul level, and which will enable you to live your truth.
The Sacred Masculinity comes from a place of origin and during this expedition you will slowly get acquainted with how that can be present in your life. But first, it requires you to let go of the old images and patterns of the masculine inside you.
During the expedition we will be active on a practical mundane, but very enjoyable, level of cooking on fire and preparing food, living as a community in a house, working in the kitchen garden or hiking outdoors or even picking the olives from the grove.
Next to that we will do deep inner work. We will do embodied work, opening senses, working with thoughts, emotions and reflections. We will go through shamanic practices of healing old wounds with breathwork, energywork, constellations, meditative journeys, shadowwork, soul retrieval and a solo vision quest.
About The Programme
The programme has 4 steps that will be carried out throughout the expedition.
1. Disarming
The first days will help you learn what mental and emotional armor you carry. How you have been trying to cope with the world and slowly we will invite you to set aside that armor. To actually see, how that armor has disempowered you for so long and that your true power, comes from elsewhere.
2. Feeling & Sensing
When you start to set aside your armor and weapons, you will notice new information coming in. Through your body, your heart, your intuition, your field of energy. You will be guided to open up your senses to feel what is inside you and around. Your superpowers, that will help you grow into that sacredness.
3. Releasing
Already quite soon during the expedition, you will start releasing the old stories of who you were. The shell of the old masculinity comes off. The heaviness is shed and will give space to something new and refreshing to enter the body and soul. With your new senses, you will feel how the old stories are rooted inside in old wounds you carry, and how through embodied exercises of breathwork and energywork, these are released and transformed.
4. Empowering
Automatically when there is space, room for the new, a new energy will come in. Together, we will download new energy and information available to us. We will work with the mountains, the stars and the sun, to provide us a new image of what Sacred Masculinity is. Through meditative journeys and embodied integration exercises, you will retrieve this new information and install these in your body and soul.

The Location
You will stay in a typical Sardinian house in a small local village with a kitchen garden and an olive grove outside the village. In the middle of the countryside close to rural hills and rough plateaus. Back to basic, close to nature and close to yourself. You will enjoy community living, cooking on the fire and making local seasonal food, offering simplicity and authenticity.

Vincent will be your main guide. He is a trained shamanic healer, Earthkeeper and Templekeeper with over 20 years of experience in guiding people in professional and private settings, and with backgrounds in physiotherapy, psychology and leadership training.
He has had his own personal experience with men, and he will gladly share his story how his perspective on the masculine completely changed over the years.
