Gents, are you ready for an immersive and transformative experience?
With two well-known thought leaders and coaches Brett Shuttleworth and Joe van Niekerk
Brett
For over 20 years, Brett Shuttleworth has been teaching transformational principles, whether in the boardroom to corporates or to individuals on his internationally renowned Smiling Soul Retreats. Across all his platforms, his voice has echoed the same message: Your reality begins with the story you tell yourself .And now, more than ever, his message is meeting its moment. In a world flooded with information but starved of wisdom, Brett offers something rare:
Clarity. A human reminder that we are not as stuck, lost, or broken as we think. We’re just one shift in perspective away from everything we’ve been seeking. What sets Brett apart is not just what he teaches, but how he lives it.
Joe
You may remember Joe van Niekerk, also known as Big Joe, from his rugby career in the 2000s with the Lions, Stormers, Springboks, and Toulon in France. Or perhaps as Jungle Joe, shaped by his transformative years living and working in Costa Rica. Since retiring from professional rugby in 2014, Joe has undergone a profound personal journey. Today, he works as a trauma-healing coach, supporting both men and women, and brings a focused two-hour men’s breakthrough experience to this Untamed Men session.
This men’s experience offers a grounded and supportive space within the wider spirit festival container. A space for men to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and gently explore what is present beneath the surface. The work is experiential, embodied, and rooted in presence rather than performance. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, burnt out, or emotionally disconnected, and you sense there is something deeper calling for your attention, this session offers space for clarity, grounding, and meaningful insight.
This experience includes the integration of Hojo training. The strength of the Hojo training lies in its ability to facilitate the organic seeing of each participant’s core strength, authentic power to create and limitless capacity to manifest.
If this breakthrough experience embraces anything, it is that transformation begins when the heart softens, the story loosens and a new truth slips in. A truth that says: You are not what’s happened to you. You are how you choose to see it. And in that simple shift, everything changes. Join Brett and Joe at KwazuluSpirit Festival 2026:
