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.

EMBODYING YOUR NEW LIGHT with James and Kelly-Anne

Saturday 2nd January 2027 | 12:00pm – 6:30pm

at Yorkshire Centre for Wellbeing

Sacred Exchange: £122

What if the start of 2027 wasn’t about deciding who you need to become…

but about creating enough space to remember your souls call

Join us for a beautiful, intimate retreat to welcome the start of 2027— a deeply nourishing journey of release, renewal, and awakening.

We begin by letting the old year move through us.

With embodied yoga followed by powerful breath, James will guide you into the body — creating space to release what you no longer wish to carry, move what has been held, and reconnect with your own vitality.

Then we pause.

We gather around our table in our gorgeous dining room, sharing a beautiful, nourishing late lunch — allowing ourselves to be fed, not just physically, but soulfully.

From there, the energy softens.

Through yin yoga flow deep receiving and Angelic Reiki, you are invited to surrender into stillness — to soften the places that have been holding, striving and doing, and to experience what it feels like to simply receive.

And in that quiet…

we listen.

Through intuitive guidance and our sacred Mystery Circle, you will be invited to connect with the deeper wisdom within you:

What is your soul inviting you towards?

What is ready to awaken?

What quality of your new light is asking to be embodied?

There is nothing to achieve.

Nothing to fix.

Nothing you need to force into being.

Just a gentle, powerful remembering.

A remembering of the parts of you that may have become quiet.

A remembering of what makes you feel alive.

A remembering of the light that has been there all along.

And as the day comes to a close, we will honour that light with a simple New Year ritual — a quiet moment of willingness, trust and devotion to what is ready to unfold.

It is about becoming more fully who you are now ✨️

Come and be held.

Come and breathe.

Come and receive.

Come and listen.
