Becoming The Man I Am

Hosted by Marquise Thompson & Laura Fontaine

Sunday August 10th, 2025 at Lungovita Beach Retreat

Guided Healing Retreat For Men

Becoming: The Man I Am" is a 5-6 hour immersive experience designed for men who are ready to grow — inwardly, spiritually, and purposefully. It’s for the man who knows there’s more to life than survival… and is willing to dig deep to find it.

You’ll walk through four powerful stages of transformation, using the metaphor of a tree to guide you:

From death and rebirth...
To vulnerability and breakthrough...
To clarity, strength, and divine purpose.

Laura has a passion and background in competitive dancing, is a makeup artist, and has 6 years of practicing meditation and journaling.

“With his calm demeanour, Marquise Thompson thrives at communication and the willingness to teach others through his own experiences and knowledge. You can not find a more loyal individual who excels at building up others. His ability to identify problems and propose solutions proves that he goes the extra mile and really cares about the people he interacts with.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Laura for about 6 years now, and I truly feel lucky to have watched her growth in the art world. Whether you are close to her or watching her through your phone / working in her studio, her messages of empowerment and self-love through art are helpful and appreciated. She’s incredibly talented and helps more people than she knows."

"Above all, Marquise is genuine. His authenticity builds trust effortlessly and inspires those around him to relax, open up, and reflect.
