About us
Inner Outer Journeys offers transformative men’s retreats that combine adventure and self-exploration through yoga, meditation, and men's work. With experiences in the Indian Himalayas and Northern Thailand, these retreats are designed to help men reconnect with purpose, foster personal growth, and build authentic connections with others.
Our Vision
We envision a better world in which men embrace healthy masculinity, prioritizing mental and physical health, while cultivating meaningful connections. Our retreats focus on providing safe spaces for men to explore within through the body, connected with their emotions, confronting challenges, setting goals, supporting one another.
By integrating adventure with self-exploration and introspection, we aim to empower men to realize their full potential and show up authentically for themselves, their families and their communities. Through transformative experiences, we strive to contribute to a better world where men stand together in strength and vulnerability, leading by example with love and compassion, maturity, integrity, justice, empathy, resilience, and sense of purpose.
Men's Immersive Retreats:
Men’s immersive retreats: Adventure meets Self-Discovery
We offer a unique blend of adventure and introspection specifically tailored for men. Through immersive retreats in India and Thailand, we focus on creating authentic experiences where participants explore personal growth, resilience, and connection against stunning, spiritually rich backdrops.
Fostering Growth Through Adventure and Connection
Our philosophy centers on fostering authentic growth through adventure, introspection, and connection. By combining men's work with mindful practices in culturally rich environments, they empower men to discover their inner purpose and build meaningful relationships, fostering resilience and clarity through each retreat.
Guiding this vision is our founder and lead facilitator, Gonçalo Luz, also known as Sankalparāja. Born in Portugal in 1972, Gonçalo's path to spiritual awakening began after a successful 20 year career in filmmaking and teaching. In 2010, he answered a profound call for spiritual growth, immersing himself in yoga and men's work. Today, as a certified yoga teacher, adventure travel leader, and men's work facilitator, Gonçalo is dedicated to guiding men on transformative journeys that harmonize external adventure with inner exploration.
