So, what actually happens on a men’s retreat?

Fair question.

If you’ve never been on one before, “men’s retreat” can conjure up all sorts of images.

Inner Man is much simpler than that. You spend a few days away with a small group of men, do some interesting things together, eat well, have time to yourself and get the opportunity to have proper conversations along the way.

What actually happens?

Each retreat balances shared activities, downtime, good food and relaxed conversation. The exact plan depends on the venue, season and confirmed activities.

Do I have to talk?

No. There will be room for honest conversation, but you decide what you share. Listening is allowed. Taking time to yourself is allowed too.

What are the activities like?

Activities are there to get the group doing something together. They should feel interesting and stretching, not like a competition or a fitness test.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Most men considering a retreat are doing so for themselves, and the experience is designed so you can arrive without already knowing anyone.

Is this therapy?

No. Inner Man is not group therapy. Oliver’s counselling background helps shape the environment, but the retreat itself is a few days away built around shared experience, reflection and conversation.

Do I need to be fit?

Any physical requirements will be explained clearly before booking. The aim is challenge without macho performance, and nobody should be left guessing what they are signing up for.
