Shematrix is home. It is where I can rely on hearing the truth, and celebrate honesty and depth. It is where I can discover more of myself.

The Gift was AWESOME!!!! ….. I feel so blessed to have found this space, blessed to connect with such amazing women …….. blessed to discover more of me ….. blessed, blessed, blessed

At my first Gift in 2003 I learned that there really was a “place for me to be” and there was no turning back. I wanted to learn how to hold space for women in the amazingly supportive way that I experienced.

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.

At The Gift I was able to let go of a dark space within me that I didn’t know was there and was able to replace that with just being me. The space was safe, with no fixing or advise giving, just beautiful support.

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.

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.

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.

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.
