About this Retreat

About This Teacher
Geraldine Zadkiel is the founder of Alchemy of Men and Heart Connection, with 18 years in clinical practice specialising in trauma-informed emotional regulation and nervous system work.
Since 2008, she has worked extensively in the field of mental and emotional health, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, and childhood trauma. In 2020, she began presenting the Alchemy of Men Retreat — a structured program designed specifically for men under sustained pressure who want practical tools to manage stress, anger, and emotional reactivity.
Geraldine holds a Diploma in Holistic Kinesiology and Level 5 KaHuna Hawaiian Bodywork certification, with additional training in subconscious re-patterning and energy-based modalities.
Her facilitation style is direct, grounded, and structured. She focuses on practical frameworks rather than abstract theory, giving men tools they can immediately apply in work, relationships, and leadership.
She believes men are not broken — they are patterned — and once they understand their nervous system, real change becomes possible.
Jim Casey is a co-facilitator of the Alchemy of Men Retreat, guiding embodied movement practices, drum journeys, and fire circle processes.
With a background in shamanic energy healing and somatic awareness work, Jim supports men in moving beyond intellectual processing and into direct physical and energetic integration. His facilitation style is steady, grounded, and experiential.
At Alchemy of Men, Jim leads:
• Guided grounding and movement sessions
• Shamanic drum journeys
• Fire circle release and intention practices
• Embodied integration work
His work helps participants reconnect with instinct, presence, and internal clarity. Jim creates safe, structured spaces where men can access emotional depth without performance or pressure.
Together with the structured nervous system frameworks of Alchemy of Men, Jim’s embodied approach adds ritual, depth, and experiential transformation to the retreat process.
Details of this retreat
Alchemy of Men is a structured three-day immersion for men navigating sustained pressure, emotional overload, relationship strain, and the silent weight of responsibility.
Modern men are expected to lead, provide, decide, and remain steady — often without ever being taught how to regulate stress, process emotion, or communicate clearly under pressure. Over time, this builds into overthinking, irritability, shutdown, burnout, or quiet disconnection at home and at work.
This retreat exists to interrupt that cycle.
Held in the rainforest at Lake Eacham in the Atherton Tablelands, Alchemy of Men combines trauma-informed nervous system education, subconscious pattern awareness, embodied movement practices, and guided integration processes. Participants learn how stress responses form, how reactive patterns operate beneath behaviour, and — most importantly — how to shift them.
The program is structured and practical. Men are guided through:
• Identifying their personal stress and anger patterns
• Learning nervous system regulation tools
• Strengthening communication frameworks
• Rebuilding clarity in decision-making
• Reconnecting with grounded masculine leadership
Experiential elements such as fire circle work and guided drum journey support emotional release and integration, while clear frameworks ensure the work translates into everyday life.
This is not therapy.
It is emotional strength training.
Alchemy of Men is limited to a small group to ensure depth, safety, and strong facilitation. Men leave with tools they can apply immediately — in business, partnership, fatherhood, and personal direction.
The goal is not to change who you are.
It is to remove the stress patterns that prevent you from leading at your best.
