CPOY 74 International Picture Story Gold: The Annual Men's Retreat

27 men meet in a forest in Sweden. For four days they deepen into what it is to be a man. A confusing term for many anno 2019. At the retreat they will try to find a direction in life to become more aware of the man inside themselves and be more present in their actions. The retreat is filled with exercises and is led by the american Eli Buren. Many participants describe it as a life-changing experience. During the four days they fight, cry, danse, laugh and meditate.
