No dramatic transformations. Just clearer thinking, steadier days and habits that hold. The words below come straight from the guest feedback sent after four days in the Herefordshire countryside — with short films from a few of them.

The pleasure of being away from my phone for 72 hours. The joy of meeting new people with no pre-conceptions or pre-conditions. Finally, I am so pleased to have made some new male friends who relate to my experiences, worries and hopes for the future. Thank you Paddy and everyone who was on RTR No.1!
1. We're all navigating personal challenges - as men we can support each other to move forward, have the courage to be masculine and express our true selves
2. Life is short - live our lives with love, joy and focus and without phone distractions
3. Look after body, mind and spirit
"After leaving and having more time to think about this, I would pick the following.
1) We (all) have difficulties and coming together to realise we are very similar although being from different walks of life is incredibly impactful when you feel alone.
2) The group was a real mixture so I personally gravitated to different guys at different times depending on the activity or chats, it gave you a really it was great to see everyone as a group all get on, this showed me a real cohesive strength, I found that incredibly powerful.
3) People being vulnerable especially at the fireside on the last night was for me the real thing I will take away, guys being honest with guys they don’t really know encouraged others and it became an evening I will always remember."
1. Disconnecting from my phone more often
2. reconnecting with friends and working harder at friendships generally
3. buying an ice bath!!
Cold plunging, tai chi, woodworking
"Turn my smartphone back into a phone and not a social media platform
Need more time like we spent
Men need men
The value of people and connection, that I should reconnect with non-work activities that engage me (woodworking, yoga), and that self-care is to the benefit of all those around me. It's not selfish, as they say!
