• Brothers Retreat

    Brothers, we welcome you to a powerful and transformative experience on this full day men's retreat, the first of its kind in Singapore, that incorporates dynamic meditation, conscious movement practice, non-violent communication, and ice baths to enhance your sense of inner warrior, connect with your inner child and welcome the feminine energy to open our hearts towards a unique opportunity for communication with others and personal growth. Come join us as we embark on this new story together, being conscious and compassionate as men.

  • What to expect

    Enter a safe and supportive space for men to explore emotions, personal growth and relationship with themselves and others by the following phases:

    Release

    Explore Dynamic Meditation: a fast, intense and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the bodymind that keeps one imprisoned in the past, and to experience the freedom, the witnessing, silence and peace that are hidden behind those prison walls.

    Reconnect

    Learn to connect by speech and movement. Within a safe, guided and confidential talking circle, open up about topics that are difficult to approach even with your own partner, family, friends or colleagues. You may also simply observe or help others with your own experiences. A movement practice based on dance and silat then establishes a healthy connection with other men.

    Reflect

    Learn how to use Non-Violent Communication tools to enhance your ability to express feelings and needs effectively, avoiding unnecessary conflict and improving compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Besides self expression, you will also learn and practice empathic listening and be better at being attentive and responsive to others' inputs during conversations.

    Recharge

    Experience the visceral experience of breathwork and guided ice bath. While physically challenging, the main goal will be to enter into a deeply introspective state of mind and spirit where you might see possibilities of overcoming challenges or to practice self forgiveness.

Relish grilled lion mane shrooms, "botok-botok" tofu, turmeric tempeh, and sambal belachan belimbing.

    Chun is a breathwork and cold immersion instructor teaching the Wim Hof Method since 2019. After experiencing inflammation from multiple sports activities for 15 years, his journey towards wellness has exposed him to multiple teachers and methods.

  • Brother's Retreat

    Of course I will recommend more men to join the brothers retreat. Such spaces are precious and we always need more spaces for the learning and practising of healthy masculinities. The brothers retreat have managed to build a community of healthy men and I hope this community can grow. For myself, I found clarity, support, and a brotherhood I will cherish. I wish more men can experience it too

    Brother's Retreat

    All in all, it was one hell of an experience, loved the new connections made and the safe space created. Thank you all for making it happen. Especially to the organisers, thank you for every single thing, from the planning to the execution. Not gonna lie, shoulders and back was aching abit yesterday but it was worth it 👍🏼

    -Naseer

    Brother's Retreat

    I thoroughly enjoyed challenging myself physically and mentally through dynamic meditation and the Wim Hof method and emotionally by allowing myself to be vulnerable with a group of men. I come away from the retreat refreshed and reenergized and have plenty of takeaways to apply in my daily life. Highly recommend!

    Testimonials - Brothers Circle

     

    The Brothers Circle has helped me realise the diversity of masculinity. It is a gathering of men with a sense of awareness of their imperfections, strengths and the willingness to dive in deep for more knowledge. Through conversations of our individual experiences and getting in tune with our authenticity through movement and physical interactions, I got to be in contact with my essence and learn how it affects my attitude towards other men and the feminine energy. It is a reminder that i am not alone, and that we all need each other. Thank you Brothers Circle.

    Testimonial - Dynamic Meditation

    “The process allowed me to experience a deep “release” and after which a sense of calm, relaxation and peace.

    The practice was guided by Nadam who was extremely clear with instructions and made me feel comfortable and safe to express my reactions to the “release”
