A wise man once told me, that life is about doing things with people that you love; and ultimately that this is the purest meaning of life. In many ways I had felt it is honourable to do life alone, yet the opportunity is missed to be loved, to grow through being supported, to be thought about and to be witnessed in the process of life; to the point that perhaps people around me now know me better than myself.

26 years; many lessons, challenges, relationships and moments of pure joy, yet the biggest, the journey of allowing those who choose to love me into my life, softening into being held and celebrated for my essence in this world. 

This has been no easy feat, I have resisted, avoided and run away from this very love which I seek; being left drowning in a puddle of my own creation, funnily enough ignoring the helping, healing hands of my loved ones.

That is what makes this birthday so sweet, knowing that I have chosen to let this love in, not just on one day but slowly over the last year, practising being a villager, getting out of my own way and fostering connections with my people, my family and myself ❤️

Yet, I had to go on this journey to discover myself, my values, what is truly important to me and what i cannot live without. Friends that don’t have to fight to love me, a community that holds me in all of my challenges, and celebrates me through all of my successes. Life’s greatest privilege, to love and be loved; something that I no longer take for granted, expect or choose to ignore; this year I let all the love into my heart, as this nourishes my soul and allows me to continue my quest, with those who I love right by my side.

So thank you, to everyone that contributes to my life, that offers your perspective, challenges me and helps me to see myself more clearly; this life is challenging enough as it is, so to myself; continue to let the love in, continue to take responsibility for my role in this life and remember…

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. ✨ 

With Imperfect Love, Matty x

BLUFF KNOLL MENS WEEKEND RETREAT 🌄

We stayed near by in a private location, ate together, had honest conversations about where we were at in our lives, laughed, and then got up early in the dark, hiked bluff knoll for one of the most stunning sunrise summits to date. 

We found stillness and movement all along the away that cut away the noise of our everyday lives and allowed the suffocated parts of us to emerge.

We don’t need more self help, advice or information - often it’s just a distraction from what’s actually going on in our lives. 

Removing ourselves from our everyday environment, with a curated and intentional experience allows us to connect to the parts of ourselves that need the air time, to connect with other men, see the humanity in one another and to simply just get out into nature and breathe in the fresh air. 

These simple but quietly profound spaces is what we need more of. 

Huge shout out to @moving.mental.mountains for their support on this trip, and their continued support with men’s health here in W.A.

If you are craving an experience like this, join us this the September for our flagship retreat, UNPLUGGED.

As the name suggests it’s a weekend of unplugging from the noise, so we can connect to the more real and honest parts of ourselves. 

It’s an incredible 4 days in the south west, with good food, good humans and space to just let go. 

All details and booking in the bio - early bird still available.
