European Men's Summer Retreat™ June 2026
Mellem-rummet, Samsø, 18 - 21 juni 2026.
There is something you have been putting off for too long
- You know it, and you can feel it in your body. A sense that something is not quite right, something you have forgotten. There is more to you than what you are living.
You can carry on as you are…
Most men try to find answers by thinking their way through.
- Get on top of it
- Analyse it
- Make a plan
- Work a bit harder
- Compromise a bit more
- …and scroll a bit more on your phone
And still, nothing really shifts
- You think about it, but you do not fully feel it in the body
- It is not because you lack willpower
- It is because you are standing alone in it
TIME TO CHANGE!
At some point, it is not more answers you need - it's action!
WHAT IS IT
- A retreat for men who want more from life
- A retreat with structure, presence, and deep connection, both with yourself and with other men
- You will gain new insights, inner calm, and physical release
- You will be met and reflected honestly, and you cannot hide
- This is a place where you pause, where you feel yourself, are met in that, and begin to take action
WHO IS IT FOR
- Men who are new to personal development and have never done men’s groups, therapy or coaching
- Men who have attended men’s groups, courses, therapy or previous retreats on Samsø, but may have lost momentum as the process faded
- Men who are currently in men’s groups or other forms of personal development, who may already have a regular practice but need to reignite the fire
- Men who dream of facilitating men’s work, or already do, and understand that it requires doing their own inner work and continually sharpening the blade
The EXPERIENCE
- You will feel yourself deeply. We work with:
- Body and movement
- Presence and connection
- Honest conversations and reflection from other men
- There will be resistanceThere will be clarity
- There will be fun and ease
It will become clear that you are not alone
A DAY AT THE RETREAT
- We wake up in nature and begin the day in deep, raw silence
- The power of the body. We awaken the senses through movement and breath
- Meeting the men. Stand shoulder to shoulder and face to face with what challenges you
- Presence without detours. Be met in a space where you cannot avoid what matters
- The inner walk. Spend time alone with the questions you have postponed for too long
- The core group mirror. Find strength in the honest trust of your small group
- Shared meals. We come together informally around nourishing, healthy food
- The truth of the fire. Sit by the fire, tired, open, and more honest than usual
Brotherhood
- You become part of a strong community of men
- You will have a core group that meets every day
- You will be seen, heard, and met
- You cannot hide behind surface, explanations, or pretence
- Someone has your back, and you become someone who has another man’s back
WHAT YOU BRING HOME
- An experience of yourself that stays with you
- A calmer baseline in your body
- A clearer sense of what matters
- The courage to act on it
- Not perfect, but more honest
SAFETY
- You are not alone. There are other men like you
- A strong team supports you:
- There is a clear structure so you can safely commit to the process
- Tomas Friis and Falcon Ener Kise with over 30 years of experience, supported by experienced assistants. We have held space for thousands of men in men’s groups, courses, retreats, therapy and coaching
The workshop will be conducted in Danish and English depending on participants’ needs
Previous European Mens Retreat™ events have been life-changing for many men and those around them
