Details

You are invited to step into a transformational experience designed to awaken your true power and prepare you to meet the feminine in her full radiance. Over seven immersive days, you will journey into the depths of your masculinity, align with your purpose, and prepare to enter their Sacred Temple, where you will meet women who have been training as Temple Priestesses in the Initiatress Training held by Amanda Biccum and Arja Hendrikx. The first four days are designed to ground you in your power, refine your presence, and prepare you to meet the feminine. Working with facilitator Steve Shiva and Mikkail Handby with a group of like-minded men, you will: Integrate your shadow, transforming your hidden fears and wounds into sources of strength and clarity. Sharpen your presence to hold space with integrity, strength, and love. Expand your emotional and energetic resilience, preparing to meet the feminine in her fullest expression. Engage in rituals, embodiment practices, and attunement exercises to align your mind, heart, and body with the sacred masculine. On the final day, you will journey to the women, and step into their Sacred Temple, where the women, trained as Temple Priestesses, will lead you into rituals that celebrate the union of masculine and feminine energies. The final day will extend into the night, as you enter the temple, a space charged with feminine energy, beauty, and devotion. Here, you will: Witness and honour the feminine in her raw, unfiltered expression. Offer your presence and devotion as a gift, creating a container of safety and reverence. Experience the profound union of the masculine and feminine, as the divine energies within both are brought into harmony. This is not a performance or a test, it’s a sacred act of surrender, presence, and connection. The temple experience will ripple into every area of your life, transforming how you relate to yourself, the feminine, and the world.

Testimonials

It was powerful and transformative. I feel more deeply developed as a complete human being by it

Ivar van Peer, The Netherlands

Go for it brothers. It Change your life.

Jürgen Wiehl, Germany

Best men's work retreat experience I have been on and very impactful, exactly what I was looking for and a very strong brotherhood container in general.

Mihhail (Misha) Nesterenko, Spain

The work has brought so much over the last few years. I am who I really am. It helped me to build real relations with my wife and friends. Should have started earlier!

Marc Schuurman, Germany

This work opened doors in me I didn’t know were closed. It challenged me to face myself with honesty and courage. I discovered strength in vulnerability and clarity in confusion. The brotherhood and guidance gave me trust to go deeper. I leave with more freedom, purpose, and heart than I came with.

NA, Germany

In this world, as a man, I sometimes feel very lonely with my problems, doubts, and fears. And having a place like the one Shiva has created has made my life so much better — it has made me more confident and stronger. I realized that the problems I face, the fears I carry, and the wounds I hold are also present, in one way or another, in other men. This allows me to feel part of something greater, rather than an isolated individual with his own struggles and fears. Ultimately, it allows me to feel human, not some flawed being.

Dmitrii Andriukhin, SZ

This was my first introduction to the world of tantra - and men’s work. I arrived with no expectations but a list of wishes. Every wish was met, and then some! It has truly been a life-changing experience.

Ben Hunt, NA

Doing men’s work and creating brotherhood is among the most important work men can do nowadays.

Mark Berkovics, NA
