Meet a Supportive Network of Like Minded Men with James Gopala

A grounded and supportive space where men can step away from the pressures of everyday life, speak openly, and connect in a real and meaningful way.

This circle offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself alongside a respectful and encouraging brotherhood of like-minded men. Through guided sharing, reflection, and authentic connection, the space supports emotional awareness, clarity, resilience, and inner strength.

A place where men can drop the mask, be heard without judgement, and stand together in honesty and support.

Whether you are completely new to men’s work or already walking this path, you are welcome to come exactly as you are. With monthly circles, regular social, workshops and day retreats the community is a supportive network of like-minded men.

Healing Sound Bath with Kris

Sunday 20th September | 4:00PM – 5:30PM

Yorkshire Centre for Wellbeing

Join us for a deeply restorative Healing Sound Bath with Kris and experience the transformative power of sound.

During a sound bath, the body receives the pure vibrations of carefully played instruments, allowing sound to be felt and processed naturally without effort or analysis. These soothing frequencies can support deep relaxation, emotional release, integration, and moments of personal insight.

Sound has the ability to work on many levels — physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual — creating space for rest, renewal, and reconnection.

Kris offers a gentle and receptive approach, helping participants feel supported, safe, and held throughout the experience. Each sound bath is unique, as we all arrive carrying different energies, experiences, and intentions.

To support your comfort and experience, you may wish to bring:

• A pillow or cushion for your head

• Something to place over your eyes, if desired

• Earbuds, if you are sensitive to sound

• A notebook or journal for reflections afterward

• A drink to stay hydrated

✨Blankets and mats are provided.

Unmasked Man Workshop: Exploring & Embodying the Magician Archetype

With James Gopala
Sunday 25th October 2026 | 1–5pm | Harrogate
Early Bird: £69 | Full Price: £85

The Magician archetype is directly connected to the mind—but it is far more than intellect alone. It is the shaman, mystic and inner alchemist: the part of us capable of transforming pain into wisdom, limitation into possibility, and difficult experiences into opportunities for healing and growth.

Connected to something greater than himself, the mature Magician has the courage to look honestly at his own conditioning, shortcomings and unresolved wounds. Rather than avoiding what he finds, he uses awareness to begin the necessary process of transformation—healing the past, mastering his inner world and expanding into a higher version of himself.

Yet the Magician also has a shadow.

This may appear as the negative, whispering mind; the inner critic that tells us we are not good enough; or the overprotective “safety officer” that discourages risk, vulnerability and change. It can keep us trapped in overthinking, self-doubt, avoidance and familiar patterns—even when a deeper part of us knows it is time to grow.

During this four-hour experiential workshop, James Gopala will guide men on a journey into the psyche to explore both the light and shadow expressions of the Magician archetype.

Through guided inner work including:
breath work,
journalling,
meditation
embodied practices
partner work

James will enourage deep personal personal reflection leading to greater self understadning and self-mastery.

In authentic connection with other men, you will be invited to:

Recognise the hidden beliefs and mental patterns shaping your life
Understand the voice of your inner critic and protective mind
Explore how past pain and conditioning continue to influence you
Develop greater mastery of your thoughts, attention and inner faculties
Access the Magician’s gifts of insight, intuition and transformation
Move towards greater awareness, expansion and self-mastery

Here James will combine his extensive knoweldge from being on the path of Yoga and Meditation for 25 years as a Master Yoga Teacher along with his deep training in Mens work. It will be a powerful day!
This workshop is an invitation to step beyond the limitations of the conditioned mind and awaken the inner Magician—the part of you that can bring light into darkness, meaning into difficulty and conscious transformation into your life.

No previous experience of men’s work is necessary. Simply come with an open mind and a willingness to explore yourself more deeply.
