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 have done lots of workshops and retreats but The Gift is like nothing I have done before. It’s hard to describe in words and I have received so many compliments since I attended. My friends say, “I want what you’ve got”.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

The best event I have ever attended, thank you very much.

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.
