The Man Program presents
The Return of The King
more than a TYPICAL MEN’S retreat
A men’s personal development training and retreat
immersed in the Scottish Borders
Is This You?
You’re a man, a business owner, or a man in the corporate world who if you were to be truthful with yourself knows you are not where you want to be in life.
You need space to discover what’s holding you back from being the man that you can feel truly proud to be.
You long to commit every day to creating a powerful life that connects you to your potential:
-- fulfilment in your career
-- harmony, enjoyment and intimacy in your relationships
-- confidence in your health and fitness
--security in wealth
So when the time comes, you can proudly look back on your life and confidently say you achieved everything you set out to do, feel accomplished, proud and fulfilled of the life you created.
If this sounds like you, then read on...

Do Any of These Resonate?
✔️You aren’t being the man you are capable of being
Do you sometimes feel alone, do you cut yourself off from others or find it hard to relate? As a child maybe your father was passive, or maybe he was angry and tyranical. Maybe he wasn’t even there.
When men don’t grow up with healthy male role models they simply can’t be the fathers, partners, husbands that they’d like to be. Redefining your relationship with your Father and masculinity is at the heart of you being the man you need to be.
✔️You aren’t saying “yes” to life and are often passive or Playing Small
There’s a voice in you that doesn’t believe in you. And it holds you back. You can revert back to coasting without noticing. We look at how to stop playing small and step up to where you should be.
✔️You regularly get stuck in “ON” mode and can often be Reactive
You are mainly ON. On the go. Checking phone first thing and last thing, so much to do - so little time. Often giving opinions when not sought, thinks he knows best, reactive, explosive, firefighting, not resolving fights or saying sorry - your work here evolves around controlling your emotions and understanding the triggers.
✔️You can slip into a Victim Mentality
Do you fall into victim mode too often for your liking and get stuck, or go to the other extreme and blame others and point the finger?
✔️You play the Nice Guy
Find yourself saying yes when it should have been no. Giving in to things for an 'easy life', wanting to be liked and wanted. You can come across as easy going - from the outside you are a great guy, a popular guy. You might also use passive aggression and sulky behaviours to make a point, or try and change people’s behaviours.
✔️Your Thinking is holding you back
Now you're pushing yourself to new horizons, wanting more growth, the shameful voice and historical conditions appear. We look at how to become the man you're supposed to be and tackle the inner enemy, because you know you are your own harshest critic.
✔️You have habits you are ashamed of
Do you struggle with self-mastery? Do you find it difficult to make change stick? Is your addiction to your phone/vaping/porn *add what’s applicable holding you back and sabotaging you? Do you have a negative relationship with the idea of discipline and what that represents to you? On this retreat you will learn why and what you need to do.
✔️You struggle with conflict and setting boundaries
You're doing your best to avoid upsetting folk, treading carefully around them. You struggle to understand your needs and are unclear about how to set boundaries effectively. You have NO map for how to priortise yourself first - feeling guilty at the very thought, or being told you are selfish when you try. S
✔️You have Competing Priorities
Family, work & social pressures. We work on how to get clear and manage priorities with burning out and having constant battles.

Rewrite the Script - Take Action Now
This immersion is designed to help you step out of your ‘ordinary’ life into an ‘extra-ordinary’ space, from where you will be able to see yourself and your life with greater clarity.
You are invited to organise your life so you can be fully engaged in the training for its entire duration, without any outside distractions.
This dedicated focus is part of what makes the immersion training so powerful.
To participate fully in this training you must be willing to face the prospect of transformative change in your life.
We invite you to engage in all training activities, many of which encourage you to take a hard look at yourself, your deepest fears, your wounds from the past, and how you are willing to learn what you can do to take control of and improve your life.
All in the comfort of an 18th Century Manor House and stunning Scottish countryside.
