The Magic of Brotherhood

Men's Medicine Retreat

Sunshine Coast BC | November 19-22, 2026

A powerful immersion into the magical healing that occurs when men show up for themselves and each other

An integral part of becoming a healthy man and a healthy father is to connect with other men so that together we can remember what the healthy masculine is.

Most men find it hard to ask for help, and that difficulty is exactly what keeps us stuck. There are parts of our inner world we can't navigate alone. Kept private, the numbness persists, the patterns continue and the regret deepens.

Expressing our longings, challenges, and pain liberates our authentic selves to be more free.  Because underneath all of it, men want the same things: to be honorable, to be safe, to be kind, to love, and to be seen, heard, respected and loved.

The Magic of Brotherhood is a four week container with a four day immersive retreat that deeply supports healing the roots of afflictions, strengthens your capacity, and removes the blocks between you and your aliveness, purpose, and presence.

It’s a space where together we open-heartedly explore what it means to be a healthy, whole man, partner, and father and in the process, learn how to hold healing space for others, a skill that increases your capacity to nurture and leads to more connection with your children, your partner, and the people around you.

When we do this work in each other's company, the isolation softens, our worlds expand, we deepen the capacity to feel, connect more honestly with ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.

This is for you, if you...

  • Are stuck in repetitive patterns
  • Long for more depth with the people you love
  • Deeper emotions feel out of reach
  • Want genuine connection with other men
  • Have done good therapeutic work and still feel a ceiling
  • Are looking for more meaning and purpose
  • Wish you could live a more heart-centered existence
  • Seek to embody more emotional intelligence
  • Need tools to clear the past to be more present now
  • Would like to live in your body, not just your head
  • Something in you is ready to come alive

4 week CONTAINER   

The extended therapeutic container ensures that you are fully supported throughout your experience. The approach works with The Sovereignty Method (TSM) - a body-based relational therapy that integrates advanced methods with empathogenic medicines as synergistic adjuncts to enhance deep healing and lasting transformation.

This three phase model, does not aim to provide a one off peak medicine experience. Rather, the work is focused on safely accessing, processing and integrating unresolved traumatic and relational experiences in the body, so that the nervous system can return to a deeper state of embodiment, and capacity, restore self trust, awaken vitality and access greater clarity and purpose.

“I have experienced two medicine retreats and both of them were life changing events. It felt like I got five years of work done on myself in three days on both occasions. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Sasha and his co-facilitators, these guys are healers. I will be doing this again! (Happy to chat with anyone looking for reassurance)"

- Nick Shaw

The retreat wraps with a closing ceremony to honor the work, further reflect on key insights, anchor in new possibilities, and creates a supportive bridge for a grounded transition back into daily life.

"As a first journey I am still feeling it was profound. Way better than months of hour to hour therapy.  I have integrated emotional openness with both my daughters and wife. They all say it is noticeable and that “something” has changed in me since my retreat.
Thank you all for being there with me."

- K.N. 

"As soon as I experienced the men’s retreat I had one thought: if every man could have the chance do this work it would change the world! I feel like a new person ready to jump back into life and love in a new way.

- Ted Coombs
