TESTIMONIALS

Absolutely fantastic, the two brothers Luke and Matt are shining lights and the process of the retreat is literally life changing. I cannot recommend this highly enough and would give them 6 stars if I could. *****

I have done two retreats with Matt and Luke so far, and each of them helped me understand something profound and new about myself. Reconnect with my core, my nature, my soul. I see the shifts in my perspective that keeps coming long after the retreats. I go about my life, and suddenly something clicks, and I see the bigger picture more clearly. Three days in a retreat seems to me like three years of therapy. I am definitely going to continue exploring.

The shadow retreat helped reveal the parts of me I disown without even realising it, and how important those parts are for my well-being. It was a great accompaniment to the Hero’s Journey retreat experience with lots of practical exercises I have incorporated into my practices. As ever, Luke and Mat were really helpful and knowledgeable.

The hero’s retreat with Mathew was beyond my expectations! I attended seeking to have a sort of “short silent retreat” The methodology that Mathew uses made my mind and ego identification stop for a nice while and I could experience joy, bliss and incredible sense of who I am during the retreat and several days after! I have a great respect for Mathew, he is so humble and such a good teacher… if I was asked if I knew a modern mystic I would say yes… I came across Mathew! *****

Powerful combination of Zen questioning and dyad technique in a supportive environment. Well run retreat. Thanks to Luke, Carl and all the participants. Very worthwhile and helpful. *****

The zoom dyad sessions are a superb way of practicing ongoing paired self-inquiry; led by highly dedicated and honourable facilitators. Exploring truth of ‘what is’ isn’t so scary or painful with a curious and non-judgmental partner in the safety of this amazing technique. *****

I could not thank Hero’s Journey enough for showing me how to directly experience myself. I was introduced to this kind of enquiry over two years ago and have participated in it since. It does not stop there, they have a weekly online community to further this.
This is life changing and changed me *****

One of my friends asked me years ago:” who are you?” When you will find out you will find yourself. I read a hundred books about living in the present moment and I still could not understand what that meant. We are so trapped living in the past and yearning for a better future that we are unable to grasp what living the present moment is. The question:” who am I ? “ drawn my attention to attend the Dyad retreat. I didn’t know what to expect. The first evening I wanted to leave but something told me to be patient and wait and see. To my surprise, one of the participants shared his experiences with me and I could finally see and understand what is to live in the present moment; something shifted in my life and now I can finally see through the lenses of clarity. When you share with others with an open heart miracles occur. Now I have been able to understand the beautiful journey called life. I am grateful for attending the Dyad retreat. *****

I started my journey into dyads naive but seeking change. The first retreat was powerful and made me want more. Looking back it just scratched the surface of deep rooted and suppressed emotions. The regular dyad practice has given me structure and process to look into myself and experience what is there. This has taken courage I didn’t know I had, and which I don’t think I would have had without this community. During the second retreat I faced fear after fear, held or trapped within me, to the point I felt like I hit an insurmountable wall. A choice. With help I went on. I found something previously lost to me.
In short this has given me back to me.
Now the real work starts.

I’ve been in and out of recovery for over 30 years. I have managed to survive my relapses but I always had a feeling that it wasn’t if but when.
Since adopting the practices suggested here, I have a confidence in handling life on life’s terms as yet not experienced until then. I feel like I’ve come out of a long term depression and life is something to enjoy rather than endure.
