Coaching Facilitator I Only Up

Nachman Hoffman knows what it looks like to be winning on paper and still feel something missing. A CPA and MBA with 20+ years in business, he built a career that included leading a nonprofit project past $30 million. Somewhere in the middle of it all he became observant.

That shift changed everything. Not as an escape from ambition but as a deeper version of it. He later made aliyah with his wife Yehudis and all four of their children were born in Israel.

Nachman is the founder of Only Up, a Torah rooted performance coaching program for ambitious observant Jewish men who know there is another level. His work brings together serious business thinking and deep spiritual life. A mix most men never find in one place.

The work does not end at Ein Gedi. It starts there.

COACHING SESSIONS

Your Why Session

Most men are moving fast but not always forward. This session slows things down and walks you through the core questions behind why you do what you do. Using Nachman’s My Why framework you will go through a guided exercise. Pen and paper. No phones. The goal is to uncover what drives you, what you are building toward, and who you want to be. You leave with something written in your own hand that you carry through the rest of the retreat and beyond.

Building Your 5UP

Insight fades fast without structure. This session takes what opened up at Ein Gedi, the breathwork, brotherhood, and clarity from your Why, and turns it into a daily practice you can run. The 5UP is five commitments built from your experience at the retreat that you take home and live.

Breathwork Journey

Levi Saada is a somatic therapist and spiritual guide known for creating powerful spaces of emotional release, healing, and authentic connection.

Rooted in Jewish spirituality and personal transformation, his work weaves together therapeutic modalities, breathwork, mindfulness, music, and relational presence to help participants access deeper layers of the soul. Levi works with individuals one-on-one and leads workshops, retreats, and group journeys across Israel and the United States.

At the retreat, Levi will guide a transformational breathwork journey combining somatic exercises, conscious breathing, and music to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and renewed clarity.

He will also lead a ceremonial prayer and song circle, where music and collective voice become a gateway into connection and heartfelt expression.

His facilitation style is gentle yet powerful, blending grounded structure with intuitive presence.

Ecstatic Dance Facilitator

The session is a guided journey through rhythm, breath, and embodied awareness.

It begins with grounding and inner listening, develops into waves of movement allowing emotional release and reconnection, and concludes with quiet integration.

There is no choreography, no performance only authentic movement from within.

It is a simple, powerful space to reconnect with the body, the heart, and inner joy.

Yochanan Mazor is a facilitator of embodied inner work and the founder of “Movement of the Soul” a practice integrating rhythm, breath, and conscious movement as a pathway to emotional balance and spiritual grounding.

He works primarily with men, guiding processes of self-clarity, inner strengthening, and nervous system regulation through embodied awareness and authentic presence.

His spaces are respectful, grounded, and deeply human inviting participants to reconnect with the heart through the body.

Abulafia Meditation

Rabbi Yehezkel Yosef Abulafia is a spiritual teacher and meditation guide living in Tzfat, one of the historic centers of Jewish mysticism. A descendant of the 13th-century Kabbalist Rabbi Avraham Abulafia, he draws from Torah teachings, Kabbalah, and practical wisdom for daily life to help individuals reconnect with their inner truth and deepen their relationship with God, community, and themselves.

Through guided conversations, meditation practices, workshops, and experiential meditation, Rabbi Abulafia creates welcoming and reflective spaces where participants can explore identity, purpose, and authentic connection. His teaching style blends spiritual depth with grounded insight, offering practical tools for inner healing, clarity, and personal growth.

Inspired by the ancient mystical traditions of Judaism, Rabbi Abulafia’s approach encourages people to slow down, listen more deeply, and reconnect with the divine spark within their soul and the presence of the Divine in everyday life.
