Get outdoors. Seriously! Nature is beautiful. Nature is also a great teacher for our inner world. That’s why we go into the wild to use powerful yoga exercises, basic bushcraft skills, breathwork and questions that don’t let you off the hook easily. No incense, no luxury. Just the basics, and the discomfort that comes with them. We believe that is what actually helps you grow.

Out of your head.
Into the wild.

Wealth isn't about luxury. It's about connection.

At EleMens, we take you into the wild. You don’t need bushcraft experience, just a willingness to be uncomfortable. Not because nature is pretty (it is), but because we believe in appreciating all of it, including the rain, the storms and the discomfort of having no couch. No phone, no small talk, no performance to keep up. What’s left is just you, stripped from status and masks. That’s the whole point.

Our Retreats, Group Coaching, and Expeditions aren’t about fixing yourself. They’re about doing the work: breathwork, movement, honest conversations, and time alone in nature. No easy answers. Just you, figuring out who you are when nobody’s watching.

Retreats to Nature - France

Retreats in the wild. Not to escape your life, but to feel it again. Yoga in the grass, breathwork that gets you out of your head, and space to sit with what's actually going on. Rain or sunshine. No couch, no phone, no performance. Just nature, and you.

Group Coaching - Eindhoven area

Retreats and expeditions spark real change. But we're human. Old habits creep back in once you're home. That's what group coaching is for: staying connected to the people you grew with, and staying present in your everyday life. Growth sticks better when you're not doing it alone.

Expeditions

Expeditions for those ready to go further. More physical, more demanding, still built around the same core: show up, and let discomfort teach you something. Different levels, same principle — this isn't about conquering a mountain, it's about what you find out about yourself on the way up.

Testimonials

Hear from those who have experienced transformation

The way that the retreat was guided was a big plus for me. With lots of warmth and personal attention for everybody, everything was welcome; our emotions, our moods. Also suggestions for activities were welcome. That really set a wonderful vibe. Also the activities: the yoga, the breathwork, the vision quest, foraging our own food, the firemaking workshop. If you're into that, this week is definitely for you.

First of all, I really enjoyed this retreat because of Rick's energy, the passion that you have for the things that you do. The retreat was really authentic and professional. Rick has skills to make everything feel safe. I didn't have to worry about anything. I'm taking home some personal growth: being able to take care of myself in survival situations. We were prepared really well on the vision quest. I experienced some good fear, but felt safe that if anything bad happened I would be alright.

I really loved the quietness and the spaciousness in the Foret du Dragon. The way you guided the breathwork was very refreshing and clearing. Rick guided it in a clear way, without overprotecting. I felt we were truly welcome with everything that we are in that moment: crying, screaming, dancing. A great way to start your day.

I camped at the top of the hill. I woke up with a beautiful view every day. And with all the walking up and down, a little training would be helpful. The breathwork and the yoga really improved my mood and my stamina. I'm taking home a sense of abundance and connection with other people and also with myself.

We are often trapped in our head, but at this retreat we do so much physical stuff that it becomes easy to pop out of your head and land in our bodies. The fact that we are in nature with foraging and walking, you become literally one with nature and your environment. And even though we have so many tools in our toolbox, this retreat was a nice refreshment to start every day with yoga, to integrate what we already know.
