A Men’s Mindfulness Meditation Retreat - Italy

Meditation, Dharma, Embodiment & the Art of Living Awake
There comes a point in every man’s life when outer success, status, and striving no longer satisfy. The old maps stop working. The strategies that once protected you now keep you small. What remains is the invitation to wake up — to turn toward the truth of your own experience with courage and curiosity.

This retreat is for men who are ready to meet themselves fully — in stillness and in movement. Through the practices of meditation, self-inquiry, and embodied awareness, we explore what it means to live as a whole man: grounded, awake, and connected to heart, purpose, and freedom.

You are not here to perform masculinity. You are here to embody it — as presence, integrity, and fierce compassion.

What to Expect
This meditative retreat is a deep dive into the Dharma of the masculine heart — a journey of awakening that unites stillness and fire with strength and tenderness.

Through guided meditation, Dharma talks, mindful boxing, dyads and men’s circles, you will:

Cut through the stories that keep you small, defensive, or disconnected.

Condition your inner and outer self with Mindful Boxing — a moving meditation where body meets mind and effort meets ease. In the ring of awareness, pressure becomes the teacher. Each breath is a doorway from reaction to non-reaction — from defense to vulnerability.

Transform reactivity into pure awareness, anger into aliveness, and fear into conscious choice.

Learn to hold boundaries with an open heart — firm yet fluid, strong yet kind.

Cultivate the art of relational presence, learning to stay open even when triggered or challenged.

Discover your innate leadership — not through dominance, but through awareness, authenticity, and service.

**Expect periods of noble silence, embodied meditation, deep sharing, and honest reflection. This is not a retreat of escape but of return — to your own center, your body, your values, and your truth.

Evangelos and Jeoffrey’s work is grounded in direct experience, not belief — a path of awakening through embodiment, awareness, and the living intelligence of the heart.

The Invitation
To awaken the masculine heart is to remember that strength and tenderness are not opposites — they are allies.
To live awake is to move through the world undefended, rooted in truth, and open to joy, creativity and love.

This retreat is an initiation — a call to integrate what you already know to be true.
To live from your center.
To lead from the inside out.
To meet the edge of freedom — and step through.
