Finding My Way Home

​

I'm Cedric Previtali—a British father of French birth, curious by nature, and guide for men seeking authentic fatherhood. My journey from funeral parlours in eastern France to London's corporate world taught me much, but becoming father to my son Arthur revealed my true calling.

What drives me? The belief that fatherhood isn't just a role, it's a revolution waiting to happen.

Through my own battles with anxiety, divorce, and generational patterns, I discovered that the path to healing begins with presence. Now, I'm dedicated to helping fathers forge deeper connections with their children and themselves.

Our Core Beliefs

Redefining Masculinity

True strength lies in vulnerability, responsibility, and the courage to ask for help. We embrace emotional depth and reject the myth that men must suffer alone.

Healing Generational Wounds

Our DNA carries the scars of ancestors who survived war, abandonment, and silence. Through intentional shadow work and community support, we break these patterns for ourselves and future generations.

The Power of Presence

A father's genuine presence transforms children's lives. Research shows involved fathers raise more resilient, empathetic children. We equip fathers with skills to lead with love rather than fear.

Community Over Isolation

Loneliness silently undermines modern manhood. We build brotherhoods where men gather not to compete, but to support one another through life's challenges.

Legacy, Not Labels

Your legacy isn't defined by titles or wealth, but by the imprint you leave on your children's hearts. We champion fathers who choose curiosity over control and aren't afraid to express love openly.

What We Offer

Father-Child Wilderness Retreats

Immersive experiences in the Lake District and beyond that intertwine adventure with reflection. These journeys aren't survival tests but opportunities to rebuild trust and envision new ways of connecting.

Father Initiation Weekends

For biological, adoptive, or mentor fathers focused on emotional readiness and breaking generational patterns. Discover the sacred role of guiding the next generation.

Shadow Work Sessions

Trauma-informed practices guided by men who have walked this path, helping you confront and transform inherited patterns that no longer serve you.

Global Community Resources

Access neuroscience-based parenting techniques, modern rituals for fathers, and ongoing support from like-minded men.

Advocacy Initiatives

We work with policymakers, prisons, and schools to increase father involvement in healing communities.

Transformation Stories

Vincent L., London
"I joined the weekend with my son. It was very well organised and the activities were great. I really enjoyed bonding with my son, he still talks about this trip."

Desmond K., Bristol
"This weekend enabled us to connect, away from distractions of daily life. The activities were perfectly designed. It wasn't just a retreat, it was a gift that strengthened our bond."

Xavier M., Paris
"This adventure gave us something we don't often get – real, meaningful time together. It brought us closer in ways I didn't think were possible. Truly unforgettable."

Join the Odyssey

This journey requires many hands:

• Fathers willing to set the example—biological, step-fathers, and mentors

• Children ready to rewrite their narratives with their fathers

• Elders to share wisdom and guide initiation experiences

• Allies of all kinds to amplify our message of compassionate masculinity

• Supporters to sponsor scholarships for those who cannot afford retreats

Our True North is within—a path toward authenticity, compassion, and the quiet power of presence.

"The best gift a father can offer his child is not perfection—it's the courage to be human." — Cedric Previtali
