A place of Accomplishment, Grace, Wisdom and Blessings.
This unique venue offers participants all of the comfort of a private retreat space, where we are often the only residents!
Each air-conditioned room is beautifully furnished and designed for your privacy and comfort with bathroom, indoor and outdoor garden seating. A pool, restaurant, and spa complete the setting.
Participants enjoy all of the services and comfort of a small private hotel. Lovingly prepared beautiful food, a swimming pool, village walks and outstanding service from the friendly staff.
The Elder’s Way retreat is an opportunity for you to explore the potential of your last great journey in life. Far from being a place of placid ‘retirement’, The Elder’s Way challenges you to claim and celebrate this magnificent period of your life as a precious gift and reward for your accomplishment and contribution to yourself and to others.
You will experience and share about letting go, detachment, wisdom, blessing, witnessing, creativity and the homecoming of spirit and the heart.
We will carefully and respectfully journey towards the great domains of your frailty and dying, knowing that even here there is much to be accomplished.

The Elder’s Way is a program developed and co-ordinated by the WA based community organisation Menswork Project Inc.
Man Unplugged are delighted to be involved in the facilitation of the upcoming program.
Lots of considerate, safe and respectful personal development group work, innovative workshop processes and sharing circles. Nothing boring! Some ritual work and plenty of reflection time. Great conversations and mateship. Plenty of village walks, meditation, bodywork, music and stunning local cultural events. We experience care, service, beautiful food, a few surprises and lots of fun! These unique group experiences offer men an authentic, safe opportunity to go to the essence of themselves, to share and explore as a potential springboard to the next part of your life’s journey.
Many rites of passage programs and mens’ work are based on deprivation, which certainly has its place for our Warrior archetypes. In contrast, The Elder’s Way is based upon gratitude and abundance, a grounded place from which to share our elder wisdom to bless, empower and encourage younger people as they go through their own transitions in life.
Where else could you participate in an 7 days fully-facilitated, all-inclusive program with exceptional service and accommodation, just sufficiently ‘out of the way’ to concentrate on just you!
We offer a genuinely stunning adventure.

Peter co-founded The Menswork Project (MWP) in 2001 with Wes Carter, after 5 previous years of partnering countless workshops, retreats and events related to men’s health and wellbeing.
In 2005, The Elder’s Way was born, running twice yearly in Ubud, and has become a flagship program of MWP. In 2017 Peter published The Momentum Concept, a source document designed to create an overview and the origins of unhealthy masculine behaviour, patriarchy and power, it’s impact on Planet Earth, and our need for a gender-equal and cooperative future with an emphasis on educating boys.
Peter is a recognised Elder in the Australian men’s community and brings a wealth of practical and experiential wisdom to The Elder’s Way.
John is an engaged father to 2 sons, a husband and a business owner. He has been actively involved in men’s work for almost 30 years, published ‘Man Unplugged – Secret Men’s Business For Men & Those Who Love Them’ and continues to explore his own eldership by helping other men take their inward journey with clarity of purpose and support.
He too has experienced the enhanced richness and fullness of life, resulting from men’s work and how that has deeply supported his own unfoldment. John offers this retreat as part of his own eldering journey, paying forward the support and encouragement he’s received from those elders whose shoulders on which he consciously stands.
