The KI Weekend is about you reflecting on the man you are

and choose to be.

Deep in the heart of the natural world of South Australia's Kangaroo Island (KI), un-plugged and away from routine life the weekend is an opportunity to engage with other men and experiences that lead you to reflect on your sense of who you are as a grown man or as a young-fella on the road to manhood.

Though the time is short, the experience is full and engaging as it invites you to connect as a group, learning about yourself and others through shared stories of the everyday and the profound.

Contemporary Initiation

Safe and thoughtful Initiations which mark a young male's passage from boyhood to manhood are largely missing from our culture, so at the centre of the Weekend is a ceremony that challenges and affirms the young men taking this step in their lives.

For the adult man the ceremony is about consciously claiming this transition into manhood even though it may have occurred many years ago. It is also about owning the man you choose to be and about transition into Eldership. Essentially it’s an initiation into you.

The weekend is for men of all ages, backgrounds and experience. There are fathers with teenage sons, fathers and men without sons and sons without fathers. For fathers accompanying and supporting sons the Weekend is just as much for you as it is for your sons.

As a whole, the Weekend can generate profound personal insight that enables the individual to know more about who they are and how they want to be. It can also inspire courage to act more consciously in areas of their life such as, relationships, family, work and spirituality.
