I have been sitting in a men's group with Richard for the past 18 months and recently attended his Rising Man Retreat which was a transformational experience for me. I have tried a few different therapies and retreats, but this work feels like the real deal. Within the safe environment Richard is able to create, I have been able to explore stuff that has kept me stuck in life for many years and start to let it go. It has also been incredibly healing to do this work supported and witnessed by other men and helped me to feel less alone. Richard is a gifted and skilful facilitator. He brings a wealth of personal experience from his own healing and leads the work with strength and heartfelt compassion. I can’t recommend this retreat enough and just hope that many more men have the opportunity to experience it. Thank you so much Richard.

I have just spent the weekend at The Rising Man Retreat, Sailsbury, with Richard Cuevas, his team and a group of wonderful men. Men previously unknown to me, who I now consider friends. Richard and his colleagues, had organised and facilitated a weekend for men wanting to take a short break from the daily grind, to spend some time on themselves. What a weekend it was. To start with the Rising Man Retreat is something of a fairytale in its own right. A group of beautifully designed wooden buildings nestled in the heart of an ancient wood. A place of peace and beauty that slows the mind and calms the soul. I’m a lucky guy with a good life. But I wanted to slow things down a little. Find some space to reflect. Think about my priorities in life. Richard and his team arranged and lead two magical days that gave me what I was looking for. They enabled our group to looking inside, and share their thoughts and feelings in a safe space. Our time together was well structured, encouraging increasingly deep exploration of issues important to each of use. Sometimes light and interesting, sometimes moving and profound. Always insightful. Always of value. It’s a week since visiting the retreat and it’s had quite an impact on me. I feel a greater sense of calm and am much clearer about my own needs. Thank you Richard. For your professionalism; your wisdom; your deep sense of caring; and of course your smile and kind sense of humour. Let me know when you organise another one. I’ll be there. Clive

There are numerous retreats out there, but what made me elect this one was that Richard was really looking out for me from the first call, genuinely caring that things were ok with me and my life. That made me feel that this was not just about a weekend, but about a man who is willing to help you. The methodology he uses is fantastic; he can read each of the participants with the help of Rob, and lead you to understand and see what those things are that are in your unconscious that are preventing you from evolving as a man. 100% recommended!! Thanks, Richard. You are doing a great job that is impacting lives!

Having gone through some difficult times in my life, I came to a point where I had lost myself and I was stuck with grief of loved ones, a cancer journey, depression and relationship difficulties, I needed some type of support, Guidance an impactful event to help me pull through and feel me again.

Richard’s weekend retreat surpassed all expectations, it was truly transformational. To experience such personal shifts in one’s self and be the witness to the others on the weekend was so powerful and connective. The level of skill and care he showed to help us all heel and grow was incredible. Thank you so much for the experience of a life time

I met Richard over a year ago when I started attending the South London Men's Group which he facilitates and I also did a 6 week group coaching programme with him. Meeting Richard and doing this work with other men has been transformational for me. Working in groups, particularly with other men, brings up a lot of fear for me but Richard creates a very safe environment and this has allowed me to explore and experiment with being vulnerable with other men. He's kind, sensitive and very experienced in facilitating this work. I have learnt so much about myself and grown in confidence as I have started to accept parts of me that I have rejected in the past. I am so grateful to have met Richard and found this group and would highly recommend working with him.

My coaching with Rich lasted around 9 months and was truly life changing. I'd experienced performance coaching and mentoring before, but nothing really clicked for me until I met Rich. His holistic approach, recognising the harmony of mind and body was new to me. He gave me space and time to reflect and discuss things which were deeply personal, and at no point did I feel judged or critiqued. He supported me to explore issues, and to take ownership for development and next steps, all under his expert guidance. I felt immediately at ease with Rich. He's such a warm, empathic and human soul and I've kept in touch with him ever since. To why this was life changing... it helped me change my outlook on the world, on others around me, on people close to me and to develop a far more health view of myself. Since working with him my relationships are improved, and I've been promoted four times, now to a senior leadership position. I can't thank Rich enough for his skill, time, and his empathy. Coaching is calling and one that Rich excels at.
