4 Pillars of Love & Purpose

 Freestyle Expression 

This is about more than just letting loose and having fun.

Freestyle expression - through music, dance, song, and rap - gets us out of our heads and into our bodies.

It brings us closer together as we breathe, move, and sound in rhythm.

Shadow Work

 
Becoming a man of Love & Purpose means wrestling with shame - seeing the parts of you that withhold, resist, and repress love.

This is about making your unconscious conscious.

Come into greater awareness and acceptance of the full range of desires, emotions, and sensations that live inside you.

Grief

 
What the world needs now more than ever are men who are willing to feel Grief.

We surrender into the waters of grief together - holding and being held as each man needs.

As your relationship with grief deepens, so too does your capacity for love.

Intimacy 

Intimacy is more than just feeling close and comfortable with someone.

This is about getting real and courageously expressing your judgements, projections, desires, and needs - even if (especially if) it's uncomfortable.

 
Rock solid relationships rest on the foundation of authenticity and intimacy.
