Participants in the Awakened Masculine program are eligible for substantial discounts in one-on-one coaching with Jim Benson for the length of their stay in the group. To learn more about Jim's individual work with men, click here to visit his coaching website.

If you've found it difficult to find and maintain healthy, conscious connections with other men, the Awakened Masculine program may be for you. If you're interested, check out the To Join Or Not page, then call or email Jim today to set up a 20-minute phone interview.

One of the important benefits of participating in the Awakened Masculine program is the chance to see yourself in a new light. You may be surprised at the clarity and power of the reflections you'll receive from the other men in the group.

The Fijian Kava ceremony and rituals from other lineages are a part of the Awakened Masculine program. These rituals serve to deepen the experience of every man in the group, and of the group as a whole.
