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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

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.

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.
