The Man’s Inner Journey Workshop

Melbourne Men’s Group Inc. has been actively supporting and facilitating the Man’s Inner Journey (MIJ) workshop since 1998. ‘MIJ is a game changer – the genius of this program allows you to discover how to be in your heart rather than be in your head’.  MIJ is a live-in weekend workshop experience held near Melbourne. Open to any man of any age on the journey to wholeness, it’s an opportunity to loosen the grip of the ’emotional straight jacket’ of masculinity, opening up pathways to a better, deeper kind of manhood.

‘Gold standard transformational. Kind, caring, challenging, safe. A gift to every man!’ ‘Thank you, the work you do is just transformative. Pure. Simple. Fact’. 

Rather than attempt to explain what happens at the MIJ workshop, these men describe their experience:  

When & Where:  The workshop is held at Candlebark Farm near Healesville Victoria (65 kilometres north east of Melbourne) – participant numbers are limited to approximately 20 people.  There are no MIJ workshops currently scheduled. 

What does it cost?  Melbourne Men’s Group Inc. is a not for profit, volunteer organisation and registered charity seeking to maintain accessible pricing. We provide for one free ‘pay it forward’ and several concession places at each workshop. The Man’s Inner Journey weekend is fully catered for with accomodation and course materials included. Your investment is:

  • Full Fee: $945
  • Concession Fee:  $645 (student, unemployed, pension, previous MIJ workshop participants). 

A deposit of $395 will hold your place at the workshop.

Melbourne Men’s Group Inc. also advocates for other depth programs including those offered by the Animas Valley Institute via  Soulcraft ANZ and the Mankind Project.

Who facilitates?  The MIJ workshop is facilitated by a team from Melbourne Men’s Group Inc. partnering with the extraordinary Diane McCann of Beyond the Ordinary.

Diane and her husband Robert Mathews (RIP) have delivered deeply impactful personal growth programs including Tantra for couples and the Goddess Within for women around the world for more than 40 years. They co-created the Man’s Inner Journey program.
