This retreat for men is all about embodying your power, authority and leadership…
The Inner King: Accessing Your Archetypal Power
For Personal Success and Transformation
A RETREAT FOR MEN
Friday January 30th – Sunday February 1st 2026
Little Earth Retreat Centre, near Glastonbury, Somerset.
Our intention on this retreat is to create a space where you will discover how to access and embody the power, authority and leadership of your Inner King archetype, the essence of masculinity and male power.
With highly experienced leaders and support staff, this workshop will provide you with the opportunity to:
- Spend a weekend in the company of good men dedicated to self-improvement and personal success
- Experience the energy of a circle of open hearted men, regardless of where you are on your personal journey
- Discover how the male archetypes have played out in your life, and why they have brought you to this point in your life
- Experience the energy of, and the strengths and weaknesses of, your Inner Warrior, Magician, Lover and King
- Access and embody the innate masculine power and authority which resides within you
- Fully experience the energy of your Inner King archetype
- Understand how embodying the archetypal energy of your Inner King can help you live a more fulfilling life and move beyond the limitations of your past
- See how your Inner King can be a truly Heart Centred Leader in your world today.
During that time we will have check-ins to explore and integrate our feelings and experiences, both on the weekend and in our lives outside this workshop. We will share in process work designed to allow you to access each of your archetypes: Lover, Magician, Warrior and King. We will have an opportunity for each man – if he wishes – to do a personal piece of deep shadow work exploring the issues that hold him back from embodying his King (or indeed any other issue that’s up for him). We will share a sweat lodge (participation optional), and we will celebrate the power of the Inner King.
We ask you to place yourself on a sliding scale of payment at a point which suits your resources at this time:
Lower end £350 Higher end £450

Personal comments from the staff:
Rod Boothroyd
I’ve led many weekend retreats for men over the last twenty years so I bring a wealth of experience to what has become my mission: to create a world of love and connection by facilitating healing circles in which men and women can bring their shadow into the light and so grow into emotional maturity.
This workshop marks a return to group facilitation for me, after some years of one-to-one work and training men and women in the art of shadow work facilitation with my colleague Marianne Hill. I’m delighted to offer this workshop with my experienced colleagues Richard and Lee.
Rod is also the author of the books Warrior Magician Lover King: A Guide to the Male Archetypes Updated for the 21st Century (link takes you to Amazon)

Richard Martyn
I have been involved in men’s work and shadow work for 9 years now. I am a qualified Shadow Work practitioner and see individual clients and groups. Finding and empowering my King has been the key to my journey from a time of deep despair to the happy and fulfilled life I have now. Knowing the journey still continues, I want to do what I can to bring the healing power of this work to all who want it.
Richard is also the author of The Little Book of Shadow Work (link takes you to Amazon).
Lee Devereux
With over a decade in men’s work and personal development, I draw on my own journey of healing after addiction. Alongside running men’s circles, retreats, and off-grid embodiment adventures, my day-to-day work is in prisons and the criminal justice system, supporting marginalised men who need this work most. I’m dedicated to equality, freedom, and building spaces where men can heal, grow, and reconnect with their true selves.
