I went into Mike Segun’s Shift Retreat not knowing exactly what to expect, and I came away impressed by both Mike and the group of men he brought together. The entire experience was thoughtfully planned and held with care, with a good balance of time for connection, reflection, relaxation, and renewal.
What surprised me most was how quickly I felt at ease and connected in the company of men I had only just met. Mike has a real gift for creating a space where men can let down their guard, show up more fully, and experience connection without the usual posturing, comparison, or pressure to be anything other than themselves. There was room for strength and vulnerability, laughter and honesty, and a genuine sense of belonging.
I left feeling inspired, grateful, and with a different perspective on what connection between men could look like. For me, the Shift Retreat was an opportunity for personal growth, a chance to step away from everyday life, connect more deeply with myself and others, and return home seeing my life from a fresh perspective.
