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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
