The Brotherhood

Wellbeing Expeditions for the Evolving Man

A space for men who are no longer satisfied with day to day life.

For those ready to step into challenge, to reconnect with themselves and others, and to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

These expeditions are not retreats in the traditional sense. They are experiences designed for honest reflection, real connection, and physical engagement in amazing, life changing places.

Led by Naoki Nayati and a curated team of expedition leaders, psychologists, psychotherapists, coaches and facilitators, each journey is built to meet men where they are, and an opportunity to take them somewhere new.

My name is Naoki Nayati.
I’m a veteran of the British Army and the founder of The Brotherhood, a group for men who are finally ready to change their lives.

My life’s work is devoted to guiding men through deep transformation, through wild expeditions, self development.

Though I was born in the northeast of England, my path has taken me across continents, from the military to the mountain passes.

I’ve trained extensively in Andean shamanism and Peruvian alternative medicines, working with indigenous elders and plant teachers across the Amazon rainforest to the Andes.

The Brotherhood is where it all comes together; the structure and discipline of the soldier, the insight of the healer, and the rawness of real men doing real work.

Testimonials

Discover what others have to say about the life-changing work I have provided to hundreds of people over the years.

  • The Brotherhood is a men’s self-development movement that blends wilderness expeditions, deep psychological insight, and real-world challenge to help men grow, foster connection & create lasting change in life.

  • Men who are ready to challenge themselves, to connect with other men, and to stop settling for surface-level living.

    You might be in a time of transition, or just tired of feeling disconnected.
    You know theres more to life than what you’re experiencing & this is your chance.
    You don’t need to be a certain “type.” You just need the courage to show up.

  • We’re not selling instant fixes.
    We offer real experiences in real environments, deserts, mountains, forests, paired with grounded psychological tools, emotional intelligence, and human connection.

    This is not a 4 day course. It’s a modern rite of passage disguised as a men’s movement.

  • We honour deeper parts of life, but we don’t label or preach.
    This isn’t about belief.
    It’s about the experience.

    Expect moments of silence, reflection and nature, but always delivered in grounded, human language based in objective reality.

  • No.
    You don’t need to be an athlete, but you do need a willingness to stretch your limits.
    Some expeditions are more physically demanding than others, but we’ll always support you to be ready.

  • We strip away distractions you experience on a day to day, in your job.
    You’ll be guided through challenges, exercises, and conversations designed to unlock something deeper in you, whether it’s a desert silence day, meaningful conversations, or carrying each other’s bag when someone’s on the edge.

    You’ll leave different from how you arrived.

  • Every journey is just the beginning.
    We offer optional integration support, community calls, and access to ongoing challenges and groups. The Brotherhood doesn’t end when the trip ends, it evolves with you.

  • Expedition prices include all essential logistics: transport (from the meeting point), food, expert guides, psychological content, group facilitation, and planning.

    Flights and insurance are not included, as we are not a package holiday company.

  • Absolutely. We want to speak with you. Message or call +44 7496 522 333, email info@thebrotherhoodcommunity.com, or visit www.thebrotherhoodcommunity.com to schedule a discovery call.

  • It’s more than okay.
    Most men who join us never have.
    We design experiences for people who are stepping into the unknown for the first time and the breakthroughs are often stronger because of it.

  • It’s not clinical.
    But it is deeply therapeutic.
    We blend principles of modern psychology & therapy into our work but our 1-2-1 work with our recommended psychologist & psychotherapist is.
