XCC in sound and Motion

Here we try to capture the uncapturable

Don’t judge until you have experienced it…..

Men have a lot of catching up to do…. according to James Ray, who for that reason decided to start taking blokes to the wilderness for a mind/body/soul adventure.  And so XCC was born (Xtreme Character Challenge).  Listen in on this LIVE EVENT with James - an electric evening of banging gongs and deep chat.

Why men need an XCC - Table Talk Podcast with Jack & Graham
Feb 2022

Our mental health, like physical health, can fluctuate. It is reported that almost 50% men regularly feel worried or “low”. Our minds are also the places we often make moral decisions, about what we think is right or wrong. We think through problems and think about issues.

On an XCC we make space to talk about some of the difficult challenges we face and to speak together about some of the “solutions” or at least some ways others have found answers. It is a time for you to think. That’s why it is a MIND ADVENTURE.
