Real Obstacles
As children, we unconsciously take on beliefs and values held by our parents, teachers and other role models. We are often, unwittingly, still strongly influenced by beliefs that are not really ours. These have a powerful influence on our attitudes, choices and decisions.

This can result in behaviour patterns that take hold of us in such a way that our lives do not unfold to their full potential. These behaviour patterns have a direct impact on us and on the quality of our relationships – both personal and professional. It also has an impact on those around us.

The quality of the relationship you have with yourself and your relationships with others affects every other aspect of your life.
For example, as children, many of us were taught that anger is not okay. We learnt to associate it with disapproval, rejection, fear and pain. Others of us were never allowed to express our sadness, nor taught how to grieve our losses in a healthy way. We learnt to choke it down and avoid the pain of such feelings.

As a result of our negative experiences we often bottle up our feelings of anger, sadness and loneliness deep inside and we carry them around with us like a lead weight. These suppressed thoughts, feelings and actions can become blocks and limitations that negatively influence the way we feel and behave throughout our lives. They detract from our happiness and peace of mind and prevent us from living the life we desire.
You may be covering up your emotional pain by any one of a number of automatic coping mechanisms. Although these mechanisms may make you feel safe and may feel like the solution, in reality they actually stop you from experiencing open, comfortable, rewarding relationships with others and truly enjoying life.

All your emotions are natural and healthy. You can learn to express them in ways that are appropriate and safe.

Until you are willing to risk exploring your feelings, they will forever control you. They will keep you from being ‘Real’ and prevent you from living a life of absolute happiness.

Real Benefits
Discover how Real you can become

Real Man™ is a powerful, transformational workshop in which we use the most current and effective methodologies to set in motion your own unique process of achieving amazing breakthroughs.

Designed to re-create real life situations, the experiential processes used will give you great personal insight, revealing those things within you and within your life that don’t serve you.

Experiential learning has proved to be far more effective than seminar style lectures, as it fully captures learning in a deeper, more impactful way. We guarantee that with experiential learning you will learn a great deal more, in less time and you will never forget it!

You will learn how to break free from the shackles of historical beliefs and behaviours that constrain you. You will learn how to disentangle yourself from other people’s attempts to control you. You will learn specific skills to help you break through emotional blockages and heal reoccurring problems from the past.

Real Man™ integrates all the elements of you together in a balanced, cohesive way and gives you the tools to discover and awaken your true identity. Understanding this enhances every area of your life and gives your life new meaning.
Real Man™ reveals to you a whole new understanding of yourself, your partner and how social conditioning has not supported you or your relationship.

You will also discover the power and significance of genuine male bonding – the bond of ‘brotherhood’ that has been lost to modern society. Rediscovering this is yet another highlight of your unique Real Man™ experience.

In essence, Real Man™ supports men physically, emotionally and intellectually in living life on a more powerful, passionate and authentic level.

We purposely don’t divulge too much detail about what the workshop involves as the Real Man™ experience is one you can never understand until you have experienced it. If any information were offered to you prior, it would significantly detract from the experience and the profound learnings . This does create an element of intrigue which is quite fitting for what is a magical mountain experience.

Rites of Passage
In our society we celebrate many rites of passage, yet the important process of a male initiation into adulthood is all but lost. Such an initiation is crucial to the development of a healthy and mature adult male identity. Men who have been initiated exude a unique quality of quiet confidence, vitality and personal power.

In Real Man™ you will have the opportunity to experience time-honoured initiation rites that enable you to stand tall and unshakable in your own sovereign power, which is key to:

• Being able to make a commitment to yourself and your future in alignment with your integrity
• Embracing your true masculinity and your true purpose
• Not only enhancing the quality of your life, but impacting positively on others around you

Men understanding Men

Through social conditioning, our society delivers many confusing messages about what it means to be a man. Through no fault of their own, men have lost touch with the real meaning and essence of masculinity.

Many men play out the myth of false masculinity. Their identity often becomes tangled up with their profession and material success and they become obsessed with work, social status or being ‘the provider’.

A man who does not fully understand his masculinity is often fearful of showing the gentle side of himself. He can feel alienated from his partner because he is uncomfortable with intimacy – which is an essential ingredient for both his well-being and for a healthy, life enriching relationship.

A man who does not fully understand his masculinity is generally very good at pretending everything is okay. He avoids facing his problems until a crisis occurs. In crisis, he is usually reluctant to seek support and feels that he should be able to deal with it himself. When unresolved, his desperation, despair and sense of isolation can cause a great deal of suffering and even tragedy. The statistics on divorce, violence, crimes and suicide are alarming – and a clear sign that we need to approach life’s challenges in a different way.

When a man learns how to disentangle himself from the distorted perception of masculinity and fully understands how to embrace his true identity, he gains a deeper understanding of himself and how he interacts with the world.

A man’s masculinity is one of the most important ingredients in his makeup. A man needs a clear sense of his true identity and his purpose and direction in life. Without it, he eventually becomes lost, disoriented, disillusioned and cynical in a rapidly changing world. With it, he holds his passport to freedom. Real Man™ participants discover and embrace the freedom that is their birthright.

Man understanding Woman

Just as men receive confusing messages from society, so do women.

As we grow up our understanding of the differences between raising boys into men and girls into women is influenced by conditioned gender roles that cloud our true gender identities.

As a result, we have very little more than a superficial understanding of how maleness and masculinity is different from femaleness and femininity. Nor do we understand the interplay between masculine and feminine that occurs within us, within our relationships and within our society.

When we understand our own identity as a man, we have a greater capacity to understand a woman’s identity as a woman – and vice versa – which greatly supports us in our relationship.

For both men and women, the cost and ramifications of not understanding our own true identity in a relationship with our partner has massive consequences. Misunderstanding and frustration that comes from not understanding our gender differences creates disharmony and conflict.

With the new understanding and awareness that you gain from Real Man™ comes a new appreciation of how you can bring the best of who you are, complete with your unique gender gifts, to your togetherness and celebrate how you complement each other and enrich each other’s lives.

Testimonials

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with me over the weekend. I believe the Real Man™ Workshop not only gives empowerment to the men that attend. It also allows them to start feeling with their hearts again which is a must for every man to evolve to who he really is… Your support team deserves to be honoured with praise for the willingness to do whatever was needed which shows a high level of courage to themselves and others.
Tony McChesney

The Real Man™ weekend revealed deeper, more powerful aspects of me. It enabled me to heal old, painful wounds and remove limitations. I now have more clarity and a sense of wholeness in my life, which I have never before experienced. I wake up each morning with purpose and vitality to achieve those things I thought were just dreams and wishful thinking.
Rodney Porter

Real Man™ was a wonderful workshop. Prior to participating, my relationships with other people including my loved ones were not as deep as I would have liked. While I could relate to others physical pain the emotional side seemed to elude me. Moodiness, wild rage - sometimes becoming extreme, caused by minor incidents, occurred infrequently inside of me. This was part of the barrier that I built up around me in order to keep people away, even my closest friends and partner. That part of me refused to let them see who I really was. I found it difficult to even talk to them about how I felt. During the last few hours of the workshop, my love for my wife was so intense, I was excited just to go home and tell her how I felt.
Klaus Rennebath

The Real Man™ workshop has been the single most healing event of my life. For at least three decades I have fought an ongoing battle with depression, at times thinking I had finally beaten it, only to have it sneak back and continue it's debilitating drag on my life and relationships. I tried many ways to beat it, including "counting my (many) blessings". But none of them worked in the long term. Real Man™ has changed my life completely. I still have plenty of issues and difficulties to deal with, that's just life after all. Now at I have power and resources to deal with them.
Trevor Bailey

The workshop was great! I've never done a workshop where I gained so much insight and personal growth in such a short period of time. The workshop is for men and deals with the issues that we face day in, day out; issues that affect relationships with spouses, children, work colleagues, clients and self. The Real Man™ workshop put the passion and authenticity back into my life. This workshop is on the 'cutting edge' of personal growth and personal empowerment.

People who have experienced other workshop environments frequently report that their expectations were surpassed and that there is nothing as powerful as the "Real" experience.
6	Q - Why 3 ½ days? Can't it be done over a series of nights or weekends? A - The workshop is deliberately designed for the highest impact and the maximum outcome for the participants. 3 ½ days allows the group to build trust and learn to support each other in a way that most people have never experienced before. In this way, learnings are deeper and last longer.
7	Q - I've read lots of books on this stuff, How much will I get out of it? A - This is not an intellectual exercise. This is an experiential workshop with many games and processes that allows you to embody the experience and learn much about the habits, beliefs and behaviours that you use in every day life. Then you can choose to change them in mid-flight and alter your responses forever.
8	Q - I've done a lot of this sort of work. Will it all be revision for me? A - The workshop structure is designed for all people to continue on their path of self discovery, regardless of background. For beginners, it is a quantum leap in personal growth.

17	Q - Aren't these type of workshops for soft or weak men? A - NO! It is our experience that men from many backgrounds have found the workshop useful. The type of men who are tough and unforgiving, find themselves cut off from their family and often are the ones who need the workshop most.
