Men’s Week Immersion: Into the Wild Within with Joren de Bruin

Description

[row label=”Intro text”]

[col span__sm=”12″]

More than ever men are called forward to lead themselves in an embodied, empowered and purposeful way. 

The world is spinning fast, it’s easy to lose ground and ourselves. Men are needed with their depth, love and presence. Showing up and leading more from a place of love, integrity and a deeper capacity to hold themselves.

In this journey we will focus on you. On the man within that feels home inside. Feeling free, wild, integral and alive.

We will focus on the part of you that knows how to lead from within, that is fully present from the inside, with the world around him and while deeply connected to his purpose.

An experience centred around self leadership, brotherhood and rewilding.

SELF LEADERSHIP

You will create and experience a new meaning and understanding on what it means to lead yourself in a more healthy masculin way. Transforming and reshaping old mind-body habits and the way we show up in ourselves and our relationships, work and the world at large.

We will focus on the part of you that is able to ground himself within the storm. The part of you that is still, limitless and infinite, through the practice of meditation, cold immersion, breath work and earth living skills.

Next, Integrity will be an important practice in our week. Revisiting the relationship you have with yourself, your own mind and body, others, work and the world at large. Plus how you can bring forward, honour and cultivate more alignment.

EARTH LIVING SKILLS:

Being surrounded by majestic nature will serve as our vehicle to go deeply within ourselves to reconnect with our inner blissful nature.

By practicing living skills using only natural materials we can source from our surrounding environment is our way to deeply connect with Mother Earth. We will utilise the forest as our guide in sourcing materials and in four days we will learn how to prepare a fire outdoors using only friction techniques.

In the end of the four days we will enjoy cooking our food on the fire that we made using only materials from the forest!

THE FOOD:

We will have our own cook for this expedition which means the meals provided will suit all dietary requirements. In line with our ethos and care for the environment ingredients will be organic and locally sourced wherever possible.

Joren de Bruin, a senior Wim Hof Method teacher, nature adventurer & musician is passionate about bringing the power of the breath and nature immersion into the world. After overcoming severe injury through being personally coached by Wim Hof in his techniques using breathing, cold and mind power, Joren subsequently spent four years supporting him in his early work and training with him as an instructor of his method. Joren has developed his style of teaching inspired by his early exposure to working with Wim, his own personal healing journey as well as eastern philosophy such as Taoism and Tibetan Buddhism. Drawing from his background in professional football and a degree in psychology he holds deep knowledge in the science as well as the behavioural patterns that make this training successful. He loves to support people into their process through individual attention and fostering togetherness and tribe feeling in his groups. He is a true nature lover and teaches humility and respect towards the Earth as a central pillar of his training ethos. As a passionate guitar & handpan player Joren accompanies his guided breath work sessions with improvised sound scapes to allow for a deeper inward journey.
