Heart iQ Foundation
MEN in TRIBE
Dec 5 – Dec 8, 2025
New Eden, Netherlands
Back to Brotherhood
A co-living immersion for those who’ve done deep work and are ready to live the new paradigm , together. Be held in tribe, integrate what’s awakened in you, and root into a high-frequency culture of conscious connection.
Connection, Realness & Safety,
The Ground of True Brotherhood
In a world that glorifies independence, strength, and speed, most men have forgotten what real safety feels like.
We carry the weight of expectations, unspoken pain, and the pressure to know, even when we don’t.
This retreat is a return to the soil.
To the pulse beneath the armor.
To the kind of connection that doesn’t demand words, simply presence.
We’ll explore what it means to be safe in your own body, to trust other men with your truth, and to reconnect with the sacred frequency that lives beneath your identity.
It’s not about becoming better. It’s about becoming you.

An Invitation from
the HeartIQ Foundation
This December, a new chapter begins.
For the first time, HeartIQ invites men to gather in circle without Christian Pankhurst, as the main facilitator. Not as a separation, but as a continuation.
A living evolution of the work, carried forward by those who have walked beside him, breathed the HeartIQ frequency into their bones, and now feel the call to share it in their own way.
This retreat marks the first HeartIQ Men’s Retreat held by the new facilitation team —
Dan, Roel and Ruben
three brothers dedicated to grounding HeartIQ in the rawness of the masculine energy, the silence of nature, and the sacred simplicity of being human.
What You Can Expect
Feel. Connect. Return to what’s real.
This retreat is a journey back to your way of living — to the simple, often forgotten art of feeling alive.
Through the HeartIQ field, circle work, and elemental practices in nature, you’ll be invited to shed layers of effort and return to what’s essential.
You won’t be pushed to “be better” or “fix yourself.” Instead, you’ll be guided to remember what’s already whole within you.
Every session, every circle, every silence will be an invitation to rediscover yourself through your breath, your brothers, and the quiet intelligence of life moving through you.
Coming Home to the Body
Your body is your compass — the one that never lies.
In guided movement, breathwork, and embodied presence practices, you’ll learn to listen again to its signals: the trembling, the tightness, the warmth, the release.
This is where feeling begins — not as an idea, but as a direct experience of being alive.
Here, you’ll find a new kind of strength: not in holding it together, but in allowing yourself to fall into truth.
Heart-connected Circle Work
The circle is the heartbeat of HeartIQ — a living field of resonance where every man’s truth becomes medicine for the group.
Here, you’ll be seen without judgment and heard without interruption. You’ll witness others’ vulnerability and discover that it doesn’t make them weak — it makes them real.
Through attunement and reflection, you’ll experience the depth of connection that only emerges when the masks fall and the heart takes the lead.
In the circle, you don’t have to carry anything alone.
Reclaiming the Wild
Beneath the stories of who you think you are lies something untamed, raw, and fiercely alive.
Through time in nature, fire rituals, and elemental exploration, you’ll reconnect with this wild current.
The forest, the wind, the night — they all speak the same language as your body.
This isn’t about escaping into wilderness; it’s about remembering that you are part of it.
When you stand barefoot on the earth, you stand in your truth.
Discovering True Safety
Safety is not the absence of challenge. It’s the presence of connection.
In this field of men, you’ll experience what it’s like to be fully accepted , not for what you do, but for who you are.
Through relational practices and moments of honest sharing, you’ll build the inner foundation that allows you to face life’s storms without closing your heart.
When you know how to feel safe inside yourself and with others, freedom follows naturally.
Everything You Need to know
Who Is This For?
This retreat is for men who feel the call to reconnect ,
with themselves, with nature, and with one another.
Whether you’ve been on your path for years or are just beginning to listen to your heart, you are welcome here.
You don’t need to know who you are — only that you’re ready to find out, together.
No masks. No performance. No pretending.
Just the raw, alive, beating truth of being a man — in all its simplicity and sacredness.

Your Home: New Eden
Held at the New Eden Retreat Center, nestled among forests, lakes, and open skies, this gathering offers the perfect balance of nature, nourishment, and community.
New Eden has been the body of HeartIQ for many years — the ground where countless transformations have unfolded. Here, the land itself seems to remember.
You’ll stay in comfortable shared accommodation on-site, with full access to the sanctuary spaces, nature trails, and the famous HeartIQ dome.
Delicious vegetarian meals are prepared with love and included in your stay.
More relaxation
Rest and reset in our wood-fired sauna, perfect for unwinding, deepening into your body, and allowing insights to settle after transformational experiences.
Arrive Early & Support the Land
For motivated men who want to contribute to the continuation and evolution of New Eden, we offer the chance to arrive already on Wednesday evening — a day before the retreat begins.
You’ll receive a free extra night and free meals on Wednesday and Thursday in exchange for a few hours of physical work helping around the retreat center.
Wednesday evening will be relaxed and communal — a time to gather, share food, and enjoy a simple pre-retreat evening together. On Thursday, we’ll roll up our sleeves, work alongside each other, and give back to the land that holds us.
You can select this free early arrival option directly when you register for the retreat.

What Others Have Experienced
BE INSPIRED
"Living in the community has been a life changer for me. Even when I share grief with others, it feels so much lighter than to keep it to myself. So much input, so much shared experience, so much shared wisdom, so many new imprints, what an incredibly enriching experience this has been! This is a great opportunity to open up and to flourish, like I have not experienced before in my life as a just retired man."
Joop van der Leeuw
"I came to New Eden when I didn't know where to go after my separation. When the community came together I kept myself in a shell, and the warmth and the togetherness of the amazing hearts around me, softened my system and showed me the way to vulnerability, open-heartedness and shared love. I am ever so grateful for living here and the deeply transformative experience that came with it."
