Flexibility, balance, strength - use them or lose them!

Movement is medicine - for the mind, body and soul.

Most ancient cultures knew this, and had a daily practice of movements for to keep energetic and vital - Yoga (India), Qi Gong (China), Calisthenics (origins in Ancient Greece)

What’s the cost of not doing this? Well, you see it in our hospital waitlists!

On our retreats, we reconnect men back to some of these movements , in a daily flow, in a simple way, you can take it back into your life. There’s no judgement at all - just do what you can, to learn some tools to keep you out of hospital later in life! There’s no shortage of guided flows online once you’ve gelled with it and understand why you’re doing it.

Who does some form of movement like this on a regular basis?

Absolute pleasure to host the high vibe warehouse team from Composite Developments yesterday. Plenty of laughs, stunning conditions & a bin full of kaimoana to share with their families. These men are the engine room of a grass roots NZ owned company that get rods, reels, tackle & camping gear into Kiwis hands. We couldn’t do what we do, without them - so thanks team!

“Did you have any luck out there” Someone asked me back at the ramp today?

“Yes bro, we had a good day” I laughed

What I could have said:
Luck? Spent the last couple of days getting the boat ready, rigging gear. Looked at a forecast that was average but went anyway. Up at dawn before most people. Punched out wide. Noticed the current was pumping from one direction and the fish were stacked hard on the leading edge, so put the boat right on that spot every time on the money, with lines right at the right depth. Fish every drop. Then when it got too rough found a sweet sheltered spot in shallow, put the anchor right in the right spot, so the guys could strayline right into the up current part of shallow pin where snapper were holding burleyed the fk out of it, and got ended up getting our limit of snapper, which on the East coast is a pretty good day. Gunna go home and fillet them now, probably done about 6pm. Yeah, got lucky!

Luck is all relative to putting in the mahi. Feeling the gratitude for being out there , my crew booking me in the first place 🙏, being of service and feeling the full power of the Moana today, some time in the islands, saw seals, dolphins, all sorts of birds doing their thing, gannets, terns, albatross, spent time with some some good men, hearing their stories & fed all of us and our whanau for a while! Hopefully get lucky tomorrow too!

Why are our Men's Retreats 4 days long?

And why do we hold them during the week, not the weekend?

I've lost count of the men that wake up on day 4 and say "That pain in my back ...it has gone" (after years of chronic pain) or "I actually slept right through til dawn" (after months of waking at 3am)

I always say when men arrive "Trust the process"

The best thing about four days...it's no magic pill, you do the work...you get to do all the things...that stack upon each other to bring back the vitality, the energy, to come fully back to the senses, lighten the load and then put some focus on how to integrate everything back into your everyday life.

Sometimes we get a breakthrough on day one, but sometimes it takes all four days. There is a bit of ground to cover, and we go deep.

Starting on a Monday and finishing on a Thursday means you get the weekend either side to spend with your family, rather than rushing from mahi and back to it again, some time to seperate from the noise and then integrate what you have learnt.

I notice a lot of people reaching out to AI for answers to health and emotional issues these days. What AI will never be able to do, is feel and connect like humans do. AI can't bring the lived experience to say "i've been there bro, things do get better" Come and spend a week logging off from machines and tapping into NI - natural intelligence - and notice the difference.

Doing the miles to put smiles on fishermen’s dials (and provide kai for the table)

Broke the news to these eager men on pick up, that we wouldn’t be fishing the Aldie Pins (essentially in the Bay of Plenty) which would be my go to kingi spot in spring, for a trip like this. Like many they had no idea about the new ‘law’ due to DoC’s rush to get their new attempts on restrictions of fishermens movements through for Labour weekend. I promised it would be a good day regardless. Ironically, on the first day of the extended Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, we headed 30 miles further north closer to the ACTUAL Hauraki Gulf to another great spring jigging spot and we had some exceptional action - quad hook ups and returned home with plenty for the smoker & table. Good to see some sporty conditions on the first weekend to give the 15 new tax payer funded DoC rangers a taste of the reality of monitoring the high seas offshore. Enjoy the pot holes! Thank you to my men for helping make a landmark day, a high vibe one, regardless. We’ll keep doing the miles to put smiles on dials, and look forward to the kingis coming in closer to home in numbers very soon - because remember - fish don’t know where beauracrats draw lines in the ocean! The crowns made up law by the few isn’t natures law in totality. Mauri Ora!

Guiding men home. One by one.

This week I had the pleasure of guiding a good man through a bespoke 1:1 week long wellbeing journey of the mind, body and spirit.

Each day we dived deeper into self healing tools like meditation, clean eating, nutrition, ancestral healing, cold water, nature connection, foraging and sourcing our organic wild kai from nature, conscious breathing and breathwork, plus 1:1 coaching and korero on what is coming to the surface, as beliefs and programming that hold us back are released.
Remembering our gifts, passions, joy and purpose, and letting go of the dense emotions, past trauma & mind chatter that hold us back.

It is a honour and privilege to guide someone through a transformational process like this, remembering that good health is our birthright. Use it - or lose it. Keeping tools alive that have
largely been lost, forgotten or kept from us as most choose to outsource their health and sovereignty to a system that is broken.
Thank you brother for trusting in me, and for the chance to live and breath this work myself for the week too.

If you are ready to reclaim your health, mana, mauri , good sleep, clear mind, energy and vitality but don’t know where to start, or are curious about what may lie beyond conventional health and wellbeing approaches, reach out.

We do this Provider Men’s Work in groups, monthly:

I've written a book. It is a cook book for men and a nutritional guide wrapped into one book, sharing many of the easy recipes I cook on our Men's Wellbeing Retreats. I hope it will help many men on their journey to good health, and hopefully keep a few men and their wisdom alive longer. It is a game changer for anyone with ADHD, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, diabetes, inflamation or poor sleep. Knowledge we should all have, but few do. You can purchase and download here:
