Mens Alchemy

Men's Alchemy is four days and three nights of profound breakthrough, expansion and initiation. It's a container where men step out of intellect and form an unshakeable connection with their power. You will experience deep nourishment you didn't realise you craved in the presence of a brotherhood that both celebrates and respectfully demands more of you. A space to discover self-leadership tools and a purposeful relationship with life anchored to internal freedom.

Next Retreat Details

November 2022, Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia.

In addition to the four days, Alchemy combines integral foundations to ensure thorough preparation and sound integration. Including entry to a private online support forum and four live masterclasses with your facilitators across a month, a pre-retreat cleansing regime, a post-retreat integration program, lifetime access to your Alchemy brotherhood community, plus a resource library exclusive to Alchemy attendees.

The potency of Alchemy is built on these unique aspects no other retreat provides. They ensure you are not only thoroughly prepared before and after our four days together, you know exactly how to practically apply the tools you've learned. Integration is steady with the guidance of your facilitators and community in all areas of life relationships, career, and community after such a profound experience.

Alchemy presents an opportunity to remove protections and walls that prevent connection to your deeper purpose and presence. It transforms pride and pain into power and purpose. It humbles you and shows you how to step with intention, integrity, humility and respect for yourself and this life.

You will be taken through a dynamic mix of experiences, workshops, circles, ceremonies, bodywork, emotional opening, group and personal processing, inviting you to become more intimate with all you are, above and below, dark and light.

There will be plenty of rawness, revelation, deep opening and breakthrough. The land we choose to hold our retreats on and our team provide an impeccably safe portal for whatever work and processing that presents itself. I appreciate that this may not feel entirely tangible, but the thing about Alchemy is, if you know, you know.

Alchemy is its own rite of passage for any individual who chooses it. It's a multi-modality and multi-dimensional experience. Combining ancient practices and principles of healing and activation to merge with modern modalities of awareness and integration.

We bring together a team of exceptional facilitators who are all masters of their craft, honour their ancestors' lineages and sacredness and are not simply qualified but also experienced. Our facilitators hold a combined 150 years + of experience and wisdom. Rest assured, you are in safe, seasoned and capable hands.

Your Team, Facilitators and Support Crew

Amber Hawken

I reverence our natural ability to emotionally and mentally self heal and spiritually actualise. In all I do, I aim to restore in each person this innate intelligence. For the last decade, I have facilitated thousands of people in live and online spaces through deep personal healing, spiritual reconnection and grounding their creative potential in life, career and relationships. After leaving the medical field ten years ago, I explored ancient cultures, different dimensions and bridged east and west. With a pragmatic mind and a country girl spirit, I have a unique blend of practical and down to earth approaches to the arena of therapy, embodied healing, integration, energy and consciousness. The more formal parts of my qualifications include:
A Bachelor of Medical Science, A Diploma of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Deep State Re-Patterning Therapist, Functional Breathwork Practitioner, Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, Hatha Yoga Teacher, Pranayama Teacher and a Practitioner of The Melchizedek Method.

Beanie Tompkins

I am a qualified Kinesiologist, Rehab Trainer, Sound Healer, Teacher and Mentor. It is my Dharma in this lifetime to assist as many beautiful humans as possible to not only see their truth, their worth, their greatness. But also to live in a no-bullshit, unapologetic, caring, compassionate and mostly wholesome, awakened life! I’m talking about a life where you live without anxiety, self-doubt or the words of others swimming around in your head. Through my personal healing of previously unprocessed abuse and 20 years of anxiety that I flipped and transformed, I have gone on to support over 2,000 people to live a balanced life in alignment with their truest potential.

Reanna Meuleman

Acupuncturist / Founder of Being Co, BHSc Acu
My strength as a practitioner has come from learning directly from many amazing practitioners as the transfer of skill and subtle details are best learnt directly from others rather than books.Although I’ve worked incredibly hard throughout my journey, it’s thanks to these people, I owe a great deal of my learning, appreciation and understanding of this profound traditional medicine. I will be at Alchemy as an unbiased and honest support, ear that listens, reflections that are designed to remind you of your wisdom and a bridge between facilitator and attendee.

Adam Kavanagh

I’ve spent the last 4 years travelling Australia, living off grid practising survival hunting and primitive skills which lead me to feature in Discovery Channels’ Naked and Afraid – Africa. After years of thyroid problems and other health issues. I slowly began to strip my life back and started to return to a more primal way of living. Returning to nature has changed my life and helped me recover my health. I’m is a living breathing experiment of what it looks and feels like when we strip everything back to the basics and I now want to share my journey and help people rewild and reconnect with nature.

My work, besides being a contribution to genuine human connection, is a beautiful and purposeful service to the world.

Ian Cariaga

My focus is to help guide those who are willing to make a conscious movement towards making change and to extend the knowledge that has been passed onto me from my gurus and teachers over the last 26 years. I am willing to share that wisdom with anyone that is open to the science of yoga – the art of acquiring the utmost state of your body, mind, and conscious.
