The Grail has allowed me to be more grounded in my life and have a closer connection with my partner, my family and with other relationships in all areas of my life.

The Grail was the making of me as a man. The challenge was daunting but the environment was inclusive and honest, and I felt safe and held enough to finally surrender. With gratitude to my brothers, I have started the journey of my life.

For me The Gift was a place to be heard, validated, loved, cherished and to be given space to find true meaning in my life. I feel it was a place to heal my heart and to support healing and truth about myself.

The Grail is unique. You won’t find an experience like this anywhere else, particularly in the fold of a men’s event or “men’s work”. It is memorable, challenging, confronting, nourishing and lasting.

There aren’t many opportunities for men to reveal their truth. To come out from the facade we hide behind each day and say, this is who I really am and not worry about being judged. The Grail is so safe an environment, that vulnerability is natural, is courageous, is welcomed.

I found the power of The Grail is that it doesn’t try to teach anything or turn us into anything. It helps men to drop our masks and armour so we can find, meet and embrace our true self; as scary and exhilarating as that is.

The ongoing support is amazing; I feel safe to show up just as I am, and being held in this way I am constantly growing and evolving, always deepening my connection to myself and in turn my capacity to hold others in compassion becomes stronger all the time.

I have never experienced anything like The Gift in my life. Each time I have experienced it, I am surprised by myself and what emerges. I experience this as an intense journey that offers me deepening and expansion in ways that are unpredictable and highly energizing and grounding.

At that first Gift I attended I sat and watched the guides and said “one day I’ll do that for women”. The inspiration for me was in the witnessing of such transformation within the women and the great power that was held in sacred space.

I am now part of a brotherhood, a community of men, of like-minded men. I’ve been back to The Grail and I keep coming back for the depth, the humility and the wholeheartedness I feel when I come here.
