Program
This work is designed to take your game to the next level. Here is an overview of the six month program.
We’ll spend the first month focused on desire and getting clear on what we really want. We’ll also study the book “How to Attract Money Using Mind Power” by James Goi Jr.
Our second month will be guided by texts by David Allen. We will focus on optimizing productivity. Men tend to experience immediate breakthrough results with these simple, common sense, methods to increase efficiency.
In our third month we fill focus on shifting our daily habits to make sure our energy is flowing towards our desires. We’ll use Atomic Habits by James Clear as a guide for this process.
Now that we have clarity of purpose, and the habits and productivity methods we need to achieve our goals we’ll spend our fourth month focused on long term planning and future visions.
Our fifth month will be spent studying and reflecting on the teachings of ancient wisdom traditions. Guided by the Tao Te Ching we will gain the courage and wisdom needed to actualize our long term visions.
In our final month together we’ll discuss what it means to be a leader. and take awareness of leadership to the next level.
Why might you need a men’s groups?
On the surface level, you feel distracted and isolated. You might be pissing away precious moments with mindless screen-time, compulsive eating, smoking, drinking, overworking, watching porn, or doing something else to distract you from your deeper feelings.
Sometimes you feel lonely, afraid, confused, hopeless, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, out of your league, like an imposter, and you’re not sure what to do about it, so you just keep going.
But, on a deeper level, you know that there is something big “down there.”
For the most part,
men in our culture haven’t experienced a conscious rite of passage
or initiation process into manhood.
Yes, high school, college, Your first job, paying rent, buying a house, moving in with your partner, getting married, having kids, these are all rites of passage experiences. However, there is very rarely a consciously prepared ceremonial aspect, in the company of other men. So, you probably haven’t had a focused place to do “the work” of consistently showing up, and learning the skills of manhood - discipline, focus, follow through, cleaning up after yourself if you make a mess.
So, men are walking around being boys in grown-up bodies.
On a personal level, this means there is a lot of “posturing” out in the world. Men “pretending” that they “know what they are doing,” when they really don’t know; which usually causes harm.
On a societal level, it adds up to the kind of economic, environmental and social injustice that we see all around us.
As men, we need to change, from the inside out.
We need to do this work in order for the world to heal,
and for life to just be okay, so that the future generations can simply live.
What if you had a place to just be real?
What if you had a place to go on a conscious journey into what it means, for you, to be a man?
What if you had a place to consistently shift
from distraction to focus;
from isolation to connection;
from fantasizing to taking action?
What if you had a place to connect the dots
between the everyday skills of showing up for your responsibilities
and the deeper work of facing your ultimate fears
with courage and wisdom?
