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.

In this task filled, pressured life, The Gift is a place of safety where I can be my “true self” and see others the same way. Shematrix is an organisation that has supported me in continuing to explore the deeper parts of myself and my life.

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.

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.

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.

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?

As David Whyte so elegantly puts it, “leave everything you know behind”. This training has the capacity to catapult you to a place you never imagined you could travel. The love and support I have experienced in the Shematrix Training has changed my life forever.

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 challenge all men who read this to dive into the unknown. Allow yourself to have all of you, not just the good bits – ALL of it!

The Gift is a place where I can go and hear my own self speak in a way I don’t find anywhere else in the world.
