Men's work & retreats

“Miguel is intuitive as to what is required in the moment.”

“Miguel creates and holds space in such a way which has given me permission to go to places that I never realised I needed to heal. Miguel is intuitive as to what is required in the moment and guides you there and through in a safe and assured way. I always look forward to working with and being in Miguel's presence, and know that I will continue to work with him for years to come.”

“Every man should do this work.”

“I honestly never imagined being part of something like that, or feeling the need. After all, I am a man, I can do everything on my own... I haven't left my family alone to do something for me since a surf trip to Bali in 2014. There were layers of guilt I had to overcome to allow myself to do this, but my wife really supported me. We cried, screamed, fought, laughed, hugged, danced, but above all, we were there for each other. I am truly blessed and honoured to have met Miguel and his co-facilitators. They are so sincere, honest, truthful, it's rare to meet people like that these days. People you trust to be led by. All I can say is that every man should do this work. When a family man does something for himself, he is doing it for all his family, community and society.”

“An amazing positive impact in my relationships.”

“Stepping into my life as a man, setting my boundaries and listening to my emotions, particularly my anger, has already created an amazing positive impact in my relationships, particularly with my wife and my brother I work with. So grateful to have met you.”

“It has initiated a massive process in me.”

“Thanks so much again for the father circle. I am feeling more and more at ease to express my feelings and be vulnerable. It has initiated a massive process in me, particularly as I become really aware of the implications of having had 'my wings cut', and how much it has been weighing on all my relationships. I started this journey nine months ago with you, and I really feel the call to go deeper.”

“Your work helped me to survive.”

“Today I spent a lot of time with my kids... beautiful! I'm on a good way to reset my life after divorce. I created a lot of power from the work with my brothers, with you at Gravito and with all the work I have learned. Your work helped me to survive. I mean this exactly like that!”

“It was a blessing to receive him back home.”

“Thank you so much for offering this safe space to the men. It was a blessing to receive him back home after this journey, and to see, feel and hear how much within him was touched and moved.”

Women's retreat

“With breathwork I could finally let my Afghan traumas go.”

“You opened my heart in all dimensions, and that's what I needed. I was connected in my mind to my inner child, but not physically, and you released it in my body. You helped me reconnect to my body and release physically a lot of things, especially my trauma. With breathwork I could finally let my Afghan traumas go! And I've realised how much I was in survival mode since 2013. You gave me another perception of man: a presence, a support with your hands, with your look and your words. And I realised that my father was not there when I was young, but he is there now, taking care of my son during this retreat. Things can change. I have the choice, and that's my responsibility.”

“Thanks so much for this morning session. It was really mind blowing what it brought me. I have a renewed sense of drive and confidence in myself. My inner voice is stronger than ever.”

“Since then everything has been transformed.”

“This retreat and this treatment helped me deeply to heal. Since then everything has been transformed, in me, around me, in my hands. I still haven't had a drink since. I don't feel like it any more, I feel so good and I want it to continue. I think I'm starting to love and respect myself, and that feels so good. The two sessions with you were very restorative moments for me.”

“Helping me rescue myself from the shadows.”

“My gratitude goes entirely to you, brother. You gave me a hug, and you are helping me work on myself, giving me tools and helping me rescue myself from the shadows. Thank you, Miguel, for being present and for your fantastic work.”
