Film Premiere – “To Watch, To Listen, To Be” – Men’s Expedition to Colombia 2025

At first glance, it seems like an ordinary expedition. A group of men from Europe crosses the Colombian mountains, plunges into waterfalls, visits Indigenous communities, cooks over an open fire, and falls asleep beneath a vast sky. But look closer and you’ll see this journey is more than trekking or sightseeing. It’s a transformation of mind, heart, and spirit.

This experience weaves together the rawness of mountain travel with spirituality, encounters with Indigenous traditions, psychology, and a primal bond between men that has long faded in the Western, urbanized world. It is not a tourist getaway, but a spiritual journey that—over time, as we move through the country and meet its Indigenous culture—sets a process of change in motion within each participant. That change comes with understanding and with entering the rhythm of the journey. What this process asks for is true presence, a willingness to take part together, and a measure of courage.

This is not tourism. It is a process.

Men arrive here weary from the pace of life. On the outside, everything seems in place—business, family, success.

And inside… an emptiness, or “dangerous” questions like “Does what I do make sense?”, “Why am I here?”, “Where am I heading?”, and the like. And then we set off.

Not only into the mountains and ritual immersions—but inward. We begin to speak about what we usually keep silent: about shame, about weaknesses, about fatherhood, about loneliness, about the fear that we will never be enough. And suddenly we discover something unexpected—that beneath the surface, we all carry the same stories.
