Ibiza isn’t just about vibrant nightlife; it’s a haven where calm meets inspiration.
Our Remarkable Transformers at Avalon & Nico Andonakis have meticulously designed a transformative retreat experience in Ibiza tailored to men’s well-being and personal development. Their approach is centred on guiding men to enhance their roles as fathers, husbands, lovers, and brothers. This experience offers a transformative journey to alter entrenched patterns and foster a new outlook, deepening the relationship with oneself and others. In this setting, participants receive support from a community of peers, reconnect with their bodies, heal from past traumas, and learn to express emotions in a group. Importantly, it’s an opportunity to consciously choose the type of man one wishes to be in life.
The programme includes five men’s circles, expertly led by Nico Andonakis, the founder of BARE NICO, a men’s coach and nutrition expert. In these circles, participants will explore critical themes such as sexuality and intimacy, emotional vocabulary, relationships with fathers, and overcoming feelings of scarcity.
You will also embark on a conscious hike in the Els Amunts natural area in the northern part of Ibiza. This hike is designed to deepen the connection with nature and the self. Alongside this, a Cacao ceremony, known for its heart-opening and spiritual properties, provides a unique opportunity for inner healing.
Nico Andonakis himself conducts four movement sessions. These sessions are crafted to awaken the dormant aspects of masculinity and increase overall vitality. Complementing these are four ice bath and sauna sessions, carefully balanced to rejuvenate the body and spirit.
The retreat also features a traditional Temazcal ceremony, an indigenous sweat lodge led by Addali Galván, offering a profoundly cleansing and spiritual experience. Furthermore, a workshop on non-aggressive masculinity is conducted by Komie H., providing insights and tools to redefine modern masculinity.
Breathwork is a critical component of the retreat, with five sessions focused on connecting participants with their inner selves and managing emotions more effectively. This is complemented by eleven meals prepared by Jose Catriman and his team, using premium quality, certified organic ingredients. These meals nourish the body and form part of a food awareness discussion, emphasizing ancestral eating habits and natural methods to enhance testosterone production.
Accommodation is luxurious and spacious, ensuring comfort throughout the stay. The safety and suitability of participants are paramount, with an intake and safety screening done in collaboration with a medical professional. Additionally, a one-to-one preparation video call is conducted before the retreat, and an online follow-up circle is held afterwards, ensuring a continuous journey of growth and support.
This holistic retreat, set in the serene and beautiful landscape of Ibiza, offers a unique opportunity for men to explore and develop aspects of themselves in a supportive and nurturing environment.
