Words from Men Who Came Before
Simon G.
“This was a fabulous journey in so many respects. Challenging physically with the altitude and some challenging conditions on the road. But it was conducted in the company of a very thoughtful and supportive group of men with some time and space for self reflection all lead most ably by our facilitator and supported by a great team of mechanics/fixers all with a great sense of humour. I’m so glad I completed this trip which has made memories for life.”
Sebastian M.
“This was a memorable experience, not only because riding across the Himalayas is incredible in itself. The team, the locations, and the inner work fit perfectly with the adventure. It makes this retreat a unique way to enjoy and appreciate life and brotherhood, and to take the time to ask deep questions. Thanks, Gonçalo.”
Jason S.
“This retreat far exceeded my expectations. Gonçalo has an incredible ability to allow you to be extremely vulnerable while maintaining your masculinity. The practices I learned during this retreat have been easily transferred into my daily life and allowed me to manage my mental well-being efficiently and more effectively. I am extremely grateful and thankful to the team and would highly encourage all men to take the step of self development with Gonçalo and take control of their masculinity in a healthy way.”
James H.
“I decided to come on this journey as a gift to myself as I turn 50, and I am eternally grateful that I did. I have been doing men's work for the last few years, and have always had a passion for motorcycle touring, so Inner Outer Journeys felt like the perfect mix of adventure and personal growth for me. Having a group of brothers sharing the same ethos, and being open to the challenges of inner and outer exploration, made for profound and enriching experiences every day that we were together. I can't recommend this trip highly enough.”

“I learned a lot about myself. This group of men was amazing and I've been nourished by the relationships we have built. Sometimes easy, blissful and sometimes more difficult but always right. Thank you Gonçalo. Thanks to all of you brothers. It was good to share this time with you.. ”

-
A men's retreat is a curated gathering designed for men to temporarily step away from daily obligations, taking a break from the usual routine, and focus on themselves.
-
Men born in male bodies, wanting a deeper experience than the average retreat, longing to connect authentically with themselves and others through Yoga, men’s work, and meditation.
-
Our retreats are exclusive for men because they provide a focused and supportive environment for addressing male-specific issues and concerns. They offer a safe space for men born in male bodies to explore their identities, challenges, and growth opportunities, without pressures or expectations. In our men's retreats, men can openly discuss topics such as masculinity, mental health, relationships, career and purpose without inhibition, promoting deeper understanding of themselves and their peers. By creating a supportive environment, these retreats empower men to address their unique concerns and develop strategies for personal and collective growth. This focused approach allows participants to explore and confront issues that may be overshadowed or overlooked in a mixed-gender setting, ultimately promoting deeper introspection, connection, and self-development.
-
Men's work is a transformative process that aims to guide men born in men’s bodies towards their purpose, revealing their true potential while overcoming obstacles to stay on the path. It involves a deep exploration of one's values, goals, and a commitment to intentional and purposeful living.
-
A Men's circle is a ritualized space where men gather to share with a commitment to growth, support and transformation, within a safe, confidential, and constructive environment, that follows the core principles of men's work.
