Men’s Campout at Living Waters

23/11/2022

Our recent campout was a space for men to gather around fire, bath in fresh water, sit upon granite, sweat in sauna, and be held in circle.

A massive thank you to all the men who attended. The weekend started with some raw, challenging conversations that we moved through together - laying the foundation for a wholesome, nourishing and grounding time.

We look forward to doing it again next year! Special thanks to the co-facilitators Paddy Hocking for his skilled awareness of group dynamics, Kip Cameron for his qigong session and wood fired sauna, as well as to Ulrich-Stephan Krafzik for his free spirited, grounded space holding abilities.

Last Weekend’s Mens Campout was an incredible experience combining Nature connective practices through bushwalking, meditation and qigong. Deep conversations around the fire on our role as men within society. Swims in the freshwater stream, sauna, hearty meals and awesome bonds were forged between the 11 men! It was a definite 🖐

Part of the magic of men coming together is the co-creation of music. We’d love you to bring along a drum, didge, flute, singing bowls or whatever else brings rhythm and flow into your life.

Next weekend we will be dropping into the beautiful and ancient bushland surrounding Living Waters and in doing so, connecting with ourselves, one another and Nature.

Camping options at Living Waters are as good as it gets anywhere. Sprawling grounds, green grass, shady trees, fresh flowing stream for swimming and an outdoor kitchen & fire circle.

We’ll sit in circle for a camp fire cook up. Long conversations that weave through life, masculinity, society and nature. Plus toasted crumpets with heaps of honey.

Boat Races!! Remember when you were a carefree kid, racing sticks with your mates down a river? Fast forward to the current day and it’s still just as much fun…especially when you have carved your own custom designed boat and are racing downstream at Living Waters!

The reflective energy of sunset coupled with ancient granite, didge and deep conversations about the essence of life.

Co-creating and facilitating our first Living Waters Mens Campout was an absolutely incredible experience!

Nature connection combined with qigong, cacao, sauna, fire, dance, swimming in fresh flowing waters, sitting on granite at sunset, holding space for conversations that matter…about our role as men in our current time and how this has changed through the ages. Playful games, super fun boat races, hearty meals, campfire crumpets and an incredible group of 11 men who came together with an abundance of energy and life ✨🔥✨

Massive shouts to all the legends in the photos below and especially to Ulli, Craig, Kip, Paddy and Kevin for the opportunity to create magic together!!!

Lastly, a huge acknowledgment to Living Waters and the beautiful landscape which held us throughout the weekend and reminded us how it feels to be fully alive, in the moment and human in every sense of existence. Yeeeeeoooooooowww!!!!
