Universal Man - Annual Camp - "Taking it the next level" - October 2024

Universal Man – Annual Camp

These days the speed of life is truly incredible. So many good men are striving to do their best. Sometimes winning. Sometimes not. All of us dealing with our imperfections amidst the chaos of life and hoping that we can stump up and deliver for those we care about the most.

The Annual Camp is a rare opportinity to come away and spend 2 days working on you. It isn't about drinking or hugging trees or thumping your chests. Its about taking a breath, working through some frameworks and building an approach to your life that is well thought out and deals with your natural weak spots.

Expect to meet around 20 really solid and genuine men, have a good laugh in between sessions, get some good time to yourself and come home feeling clear and excited about the next chapter for you.

Our theme in 2024 is TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. This year on top of our traditional work on your core we'll be leading sessions on topics like nutrition, fitness, personal finance and intimate relationships.

WHO IS IT FOR:

Men aged 21+ who want to be even better men.

This is our Annual National camp. It is for all men who are either new to Univeral Man or returning for their annual personal reset.

WHAT WE DO:

• Share strategies and proven techniques to improve your fitness, mental game, spiritual connection and relationship outcomes
• Learn real practical principles, frameworks and skills with a full workbook and access to mentors and coaches
• Learn from other quality men as you share stories and approaches to life's real problems
• Have fun along the way

While it sounds intense it's not really. We’ll come together with other top blokes over a couple of days/nights to learn and apply the UMAN Framework.

MORE DETAILS ON FORMAT

The UMAN Camp is about setting up and refining your foundations for being your greatest self. Together we’ll work on our personal visions, values, goals, strategies and key relationships required for us to grow to a new level of thinking and operating. We’ll also look at some of our own blockers that might be holding us back like beliefs, confidence etc.

There are 5 formal sessions to introduce the framework and then group break outs to discuss the content, share ideas, the framework and build your personal action plans to take back to the real world.

All conversations and sessions are completely confidential. Chatham house rules apply. You don't need to share anything if you don't want to. Engage in a way that suits you.

There’ll also be plenty of spare time, a couple of beers (but not fifty) in the evenings and a few physical challenges (but nothing overly competitive or strenuous).

This IS NOT about getting naked, baring your sou, doing chest-beating in a group etc. It is NOT religious and we aren't doing this to lock you in to another program. All the facilitators are volunteers.

You won’t need to have done any sort of personal development before. No one is ever made to feel uncomortable.

The sessions are designed to push each of you regardless of your exposure to this kind of event.

In the end this is a bunch of good men, who want to be better men and have other blokes ask good questions, raise the bar and support each other. If that's you then get along.

FAQs:

How do the groups work?

You will be placed into small group of 4 which will be led by a group leader. You will most likely be in groups with men you mostly don't know.

I don't know anyone, can I still come?

Definitely. Just contact us on the email provided and tell us a bit about yourself and we'll put you in the right group.

How do I know this is this for me?

Firstly this isn't for everyone. If you are keen to grow, be pushed a little, listen and seek to understand other men then you're on the right track. It is Not political or religious. It is NOT a piss up or a free wekeend away. There are workshops and we give loads of time to think and work on your life. If that interests you contact us or someone you know involved.
