Men's Links

These men and groups are doing great things in the world. I know all of them and highly recommend their work. (Clicking on the link will open a new window.)

Authentic Man Program

Decker Cunov and Bryan Bayer have put together a solid program for men looking to take their relating with women to the next level, for an alternative to the pick-up artist routines, and for a deeper cut into who they are as a man.

David Deida

Love him or hate him, Deida has irrevocably revolutionized our way of relating to the masculine and feminine polarities.

Robert Glover

The author of the brilliant No More Mr. Nice Guy is dedicated to helping men break free of the "Nice Guy Syndrome."

Richard Platt

Richard's Teen Solutions program, based in Mill Valley, CA, is doing groundbreaking work with young men.

Paul Kuykendall

If you're in the South Bay and in need of an excellent men's support or divorce group, contact Paul, a Hakomi Life Coach based in San Jose.

Wilderness Reflections

Dave Talamo's Day Quests and Vision Quests are ideal for men seeking an opportunity to turn to wild nature for guidance and support with life's dilemmas, dreams and questions.

Young Men's Ultimate Weekend

Run by Dr. Mark Schillinger and a team of conscious male volunteers, this weekend program consists of a series of challenging, transformative initiations for adolescent males. Highly recommended.

Great Reflections

One of the important benefits of participating in an Awakened Masculine men's group 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.

Ritual & Ceremony
