The Invitation

We need new ways of
being men in the world.

Many of us have learned to soften, to open our hearts, to feel and express our feelings. All this is essential — and yet it seems like we need more. We need our power, so we can stay open in the face of challenges.

Power has been so distorted that it has almost become a dirty word. How can we come into power in a way that supports life — in ourselves and in others? Can we remain soft as we take that step?

Cleaning Up Power is a weekend retreat — an invitation to begin asking these questions in the fellowship of other men. There will be the option for some deeper individual work in front of the group. Throughout the weekend, you will be accompanied by facilitators who bring diverse gifts and a commitment to living what they share.

How We Work

Four paths
into the question

Dialogue

Honest, grounded conversation among men — held with care and without performance.

Jungian Expressive Practice

Drawing on depth psychology to meet what lives beneath the surface.

Embodied Meditation

Coming home to the body as the ground of presence and power, drawing on the Realization Process.

Chanting

Voicing together what words alone cannot carry, through the practice of Agapic Chants.


Who's Holding This

Meet the
facilitators

Three facilitators bring complementary gifts and a shared commitment to walking the talk.

Nathan Vanderpool

Nathan has spent nearly thirty years working at the intersection of sound, meaning, and what it takes to change. He holds a PhD in the sociology of religion, focusing on how people actually encounter the sacred — not in theory, but in experience. Through Agapic Chants, he uses communal singing to create conditions where something real can move. He brings structure and presence; the transformation is yours.

Mikael Ibrahim

Mikael runs a private practice dedicated to supporting people in uncovering their essential qualities. His work is body-centric and relational, drawing on years of training in the Realization Process and somatic bodywork. He invites you to explore clean gender and power not as concepts, but as living experiences in the body that we can open to.

Gabriel Beeby

Gabriel is a psychoanalysis candidate at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich. Working as a barrister in criminal law and prisons, he saw cultures of male violence up close. His experiences in law, startups, and flourishing practices also hold many examples of positive-sum male collaboration. He accompanies people seeking interiority or finding meaning — in particular, men navigating the failed polarities of armoured and collapsed.
