MENd Together aims to develop and run residential retreats specifically for adult men affected by childhood sexual abuse. These retreats are intended to offer a deeper, more immersive space for reflection, connection, and healing, away from the demands and distractions of everyday life.
The retreats will utilise a range of trauma-aware healing modalities, recognising that recovery is not one-size-fits-all.
Alongside facilitated group work, retreats may include movement-based practices, body awareness, guided reflection, grounding exercises, creative expression, time in nature, and structured peer connection. All activities will be invitational, adaptable, and held within clear boundaries to support safety and choice.
These retreats are not therapy, but they are informed by lived experience and trauma-informed practice. They are designed for men who have already taken steps in their healing journey and are seeking deeper connection, integration, and community in a supportive, men-only environment.
At their core, these retreats are about brotherhood, belonging, and offering men multiple pathways to reconnect with themselves and others — without pressure, expectation, or the need to relive their trauma.
MENd Together retreats are designed for adult men affected by childhood sexual abuse who are seeking a safe, structured space for deeper reflection, connection, and healing, using a range of trauma-aware modalities within a supportive, men-only environment.
MENd Together retreats run over two half-day facilitated sessions and two nights, offering a contained and supportive environment that balances structured group work with rest, reflection, and informal connection. The residential format allows time for men to settle, build trust, and engage at a manageable pace, without the intensity of a full multi-day programme.
Set in peaceful countryside surroundings, our retreats offer comfort, privacy, and the space to slow down and truly settle into what is going on for you. Away from everyday pressures, the environment is designed to support safety, reflection, and gentle connection, helping you begin to come to terms with what happened and take meaningful steps toward moving forward, at your own pace.
Our entire team is highly experienced and brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the work. Each facilitator understands the realities of recovery not just through training, but through personal insight, allowing us to hold this work with care, authenticity, and deep respect for the men we support.
MENd Together is a community of men created with the sole aim of offering opportunity for healing, brotherhood. No brother is left behind.
