It was very intense for me. The men completely had my back. The funny thing is I went into The Grail wanting to be a better husband and father, but came out of it with so much more than that.

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.

This change is so big that I don’t even recognize who I am at times. I hear Spirit in myself answering for me and it is not that I am thinking everything all the time now. I feel calm and at ease with who I find myself to be in a whole new way.

A place to meet myself in total honesty and that I matter in this sometimes crazy world. I’ve learnt that I have a voice and to speak up. Even when others may not like what I have say.

I have already uncovered so much more of myself and I have so many more tools. Why would I not want to keep playing with all these great women?

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.

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 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.

The Gift space offered a communion with my deep self that few other things offer and that it is remarkably easy to truly transform in this kind of space. It has informed my understanding of myself and other people beyond my expectations.

I was reluctant to come and in the end I took a leap of faith. The Grail has changed my life, transformed my life. I am closer to my wife, my family. Closer to what really matters to me in my life, which is what comes from my heart.
