WHAT IS THE BALANCED MAN?
Honest Growth for Men
The Balanced Man is a transformative men’s retreat and coaching experience
designed for modern men who want more from life —
more connection, more clarity, and more purpose.
Through powerful retreats, honest men’s circles, embodiment practices, and deep emotional work,
we create a space where men can reconnect with their authentic masculinity, step into leadership, and build real brotherhood.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, or simply know there’s more in you —
This is your invitation to come home to your body, your truth, and your power.
You won’t find clichés, competition, or ego here.
You’ll find challenge, support, presence, and realness.
WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM YOUR RETREAT
More Than a Retreat
Connection with Other Men - Real conversations. Real brotherhood. No masks. No competition.
A Safe and Honest Space - A place where you can talk openly, be seen fully, and drop the weight you’ve been carrying.
Clarity and Direction - Step back from the pressure, see your life from a fresh angle, and get clear on what truly matters.
Time Away From Distraction - Switch off the noise. Come back to what’s real — your body, your values, your truth.
Embodied Practices Cold-water dips, breathwork, deep presence and grounding work to reconnect you to your physical and emotional strength.
THIS IS US
Zand & Christian
…believe in living more trusting, joyful and powerful lives. We set up Balanced Man to help other men do the same.
We have both spent too long living under the strains of near constant anxiety, fear, worry, comparison, concern of being poorly regarded by others and feeling disconnected.
We know it does not have to be this way. There is an innate trust and contentment when we realise that life is actually working for us, all we have to do is tune in and trust.
The Balanced Man helps men find this contentment and satisfaction, and unleash their true power into the world.
THE RETREAT LOCATION
Your Path to Growth
Our retreats take place in a beautiful home in the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 2 miles from the sea. Shared and single bedrooms are available, as well as plots for camping (bring your own camping equipment or we can provide). All food will be provided. A kit list of what to bring will be provided a few weeks before the retreat.
These are alcohol and drugs free events.
