Our workshops are for men and we adress topics that are highly important, yet mostly neglected, treated as taboo, such as father wounds, the male intimacy, ways of connecting emotionally and physically with others and ourselves, male destiny, toxic and healing masculinity, brotherhood, vulnerability, violence and safe strength, relation with our internal feminine side as well the feminine quality and the Women in the external world.
The goal of our retreats are not an adjustment to an external male ideal, or to “tell” you what a real man is like and what you should become. Instead, you will learn how to connect with your internal authentic maleness. We provide a safe space and situations that allow you to better awaken, get to know and experience your more or less embodied masculine quality and the unique strength inherent in this stage of your life.
We will dig from a rich repertoire of somatic and body psychotherapeutic methods. The most important of these are: Integrative Somato-Psychotherapy, Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, Contact Improvisation, Psychobox, Ritual work, Applied Anatomy, Authentic Movement, Forest Improvisation.
The language of the events are English and/or Hungarian, depending on the composition and linguistic specificities of the group. You are welcome to join and address the topics listed above and to find a suitable place and supportive group to address the challenges and issues related to your masculinity and to face any fears you may have.

Perhaps I can best illustrate it with a metaphor: Imagine a pond, sometimes tranquil, other times rippling, concealed in profound green and a slight murkiness that hides the bottom. Standing on the shore, I face a choice: to remain dry, or to immerse myself neck-deep in the water - a conscious decision. With a powerful kick, my body propels, plunging me inside, and the joyous cry of my soul rises, my head reaching the surface once again. I catch my breath, my lungs clear, I stretch out far. As the water turns transparent and serene, the turbulence disappears, revealing my limbs as I stand firmly grounded, ready to pull myself back onto the shore with both hands, eager to dive in again. The sun emerges, casting its warm light.
I found motion, in touch with both companions and my own self. Are we here to release trauma, or rather to confront the challenges honestly, to sit with the difficulties instead of numbing the pain? Allowing realizations to surface, this time embracing instead of running away. Tears were flowing freely, embraced by others and myself. Delving into unexplored memories, I caught glimpses of formative events, worthy of processing and transformation.
What does it mean to you to belong to the MM community?
Focusing on solutions. Arriving to resilience. Srength that sustains us. A sense of brotherhood. Being together in solitude with yourself. A soul community, safe and bonded, akin to the warmth of a family.
...Wonderful... Recharged, improved, motivated. A man worthy of respect and attention. With space, an individual from whom others can learn because he is unique. No less or more than others... I feel ready for what I want to accomplish. This in turn gives me doubts and headaches about how (as always), but this is somehow different. It feels like a surmountable obstacle now, which is definitely a challenge, but no longer a fear. I imagined it to be different, but it was much better than I expected. I expected more, or rather different, movement. But mentally it was much deeper than I expected and that is more valuable, especially now, here, for me. I didn't expect to go through such character development and to plumb such depths. There was no competition.. no masks needed, there was support. Seeing people express themselves after so much happening, fighting, laughing, moving. After the conversation on the last night, I felt for the first time ....in such quality and intensity when I walked back to my tent ... that I was a man of honour... I will never forget that walk, that feeling.
