BROUGHT TO YOU BY AARON SCHULTZ & MARK PHEELY
A Men’s Mediation Retreat
Join us for a 3 night meditation retreat for men at De-Tong Ling Retreat Centre in Kangaroo Island, South Australia.
This signature retreat, led by Aaron Schultz & Mark Pheely, will take you on a journey to declutter the mind and find a place of calm strength, perspective and grounding. We will look at why, when and how to meditate. Simple, profound and accessible practices that can change the course of a life.
If your mind is constantly “on”… this is for you.
Most men don’t struggle because they lack discipline - they struggle because they don’t have space.
Space to think clearly.
Space to process what’s actually going on.
Space to step back from the constant pressure of work, responsibility, and expectation.
Instead, it builds up.
Stress. Overthinking. Mental fatigue.
This retreat is designed to give you that space - without pressure, without overwhelm, and without needing any prior experience.
This retreat is for you if:
→ You feel mentally drained but don’t know how to properly switch off
→ You’re constantly thinking, planning, or problem-solving
→ You want clarity, but can’t seem to slow your mind down
→ You’ve tried meditation before but couldn’t stick to it
→ You want time to reset - without it feeling intense or confronting
→ No prior meditation experience is needed. Just a willingness to show up.
What your days will look like
Each day is structured to balance guidance, movement, and space - so you’re supported, but not overwhelmed.
A typical day includes:
→ Guided meditation sessions (simple, accessible techniques)
→ Light movement practices to reconnect with your body
→ Group discussions (Satsangs) to explore perspective and insight
→ Time for rest, reflection, and being in nature
There’s no pressure to “get it right.” Just time and space to experience it.
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years - and modern research continues to confirm its long-term mental, physical, and emotional benefits. But most people struggle because they try to figure it out alone.
This retreat removes that barrier.
Led by experienced facilitators, you’ll be guided through simple, practical approaches to meditation - helping you understand not just how to do it, but why it works.The result is something most men rarely give themselves: clarity, grounding, space to think without noise.
