Activate adventure,Create belonging through shared challenge,

OPEN TO BOYS AND MEN - full details below.
Rally with this unlikely mob of brothers on an unsuspecting Saturday to engage in a playful and enlivening shared adventure of the outer and inner landscape.
The Wild Man River Swim & Fire Circle ritual gets you fully in your body and strips off any layers of identity that may get in the way of connection. Feel the sea breeze on your skin, the pull of the tide upon your body, the cool water on the plunge and the welcoming warmth of the fire.
Being in your body,
Being adventurous and active,
Being more connected to yourself, the elements and other men of all ages,
All make you a better man, father, partner and leader.
PRACTICAL DETAILS
This event starts with a curated water and land crossing adventure ending in a pre-determined location where the group will gather for sharing and conncetion around the fire.
A key part of this event is that it is open to young men and boys with the intent to nurture connections and conversations between men of all ages.
Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a guardian over 25. The guardian does not need to be a parent, they must simply be willing to take responsbility for supporting the young man/boy throughout our time and in the water during the swim. Boys are encouraged to bring a body board or similar flotation support if wanted. There must be 1 guardian for every boy under 16.
*NOTE* If you have a boy under 16 who wants to attend and there isn't a man in his life who can be a guardian, please reach out to me as I have men in my community who may be able to attend as his support.
TIMING: Gather at 7am, concluded by 10:30am
LOCATION: Brunswick Heads - exact meeting spot provided in booking confirmation email.
THE WILD MAN RITUALS
This event is part of a series of events called The Wild Man Rituals. Each gathering is unique in its location and activity. The common theme is to get men outside, connecting with their wild nature, and drawing nourishment and wisdom from time on the land amongst the elements.
These events mix the well known benefits of a men's group/circle with simple and ancient earth based ritual practices that humans have conducted for tens of thousands of years.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR - JORDAN HACKETT
Jordan is a sex & relationship educator and men’s mentor with
a decade of experience in rites of initation and private practice.
He teaches the skills and awareness to create fulfilling intimate, erotic relationship with yourself and your partner.
Jordan is also a poet, lover of the wild earth and a student of animistic ritual - these parts of his personal exploration and life continue to contribute to the cultivation of The Wild Man spaces.
"Over the years a key part of my personal growth and nourishment has been found out on the land, in communion with the earth and waters. Much of the educational work and mentoring I offer has been done online, however increasingly I have wanted to combine my deep love of and experience conducting earth based ritual with the knowledge and skills I teach about relationships and sexual development.
The Wild Man is a culmination of these skills, intentions and desires that I carry - a rallying call to any man who feels the inner and outer pull of the wild. Join us, journey deep and keep the wilderness alive in you!"
