Just came out of the SHIFT Bay Area Somatic Workshop for Men… and I’m honestly blown away. Mike Sagun and his team delivered on every promise, and then some. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely held. The space they created was grounded, real, and deeply human. Over the course of the weekend, I had powerful insights and experienced massive emotional and physical releases. The kind of work that stays with you. If you’ve been thinking about doing this kind of work, you should go. Seriously. I’m already ready to sign up for the next one. Jeff Dorais

Absolutely wonderful men’s retreat. I loved the experience and am so grateful for the somatic and minful practices. I loved the yoga and how they connected it to our well-being on a more spiritual level. The brotherhood they helped cultivate was truly a breath of fresh air.

The retreat experience was masterfully facilitated and the effects have lasted long beyond the weekend. Definitely recommend for any man looking to get out of their head into their body. I wasn’t even sure what I needed going in; but can confidently assert that I received it!

I had an incredible experience at this meditation workshop - Somatic Workshop for Men, organized by Mike Segun and SHIFT Bay Area. The somatic breathing work by Brandt was a standout - it was my first time trying it, and it felt both powerful, activating and ultimately grounding. What made it especially meaningful was the trust the coaches created; I felt completely supported in doing something new that would normally have made me anxious. The yoga session by Andrew was fantastic—confidently guided, respectfully teaching and deeply restorative. I felt like it unlocked some stress and pain I had in my lower back for a long time. Throughout the workshop, there was a consistent and intentional focus on presence, healing, and openness, which created such a safe and welcoming space for everyone! Not everyone was completely in sync the whole weekend with the vibe and the differences in opinion/experience was well-received, too. I left feeling more connected, centered, and very grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking to deepen their breathing and yoga practices or simply reconnect with themselves and other seekers.

Somatic Workshop for Men was timely and proved to be very impactful. Huge thank you to the whole SHIFT Bay Area crew and everyone who joined this great experience. Highly recommend it!
