One of the best ways to make positive, lasting changes in your life is to spend a period of time with a group of conscious fellow travelers. This isn't to say that there's not value in a weekend workshop; in fact, sometimes that's just the ticket to breaking through stuck places in your psyche. But how will you integrate those amazing insights you just experienced? And how will you track and shift your old habit patterns as they (inevitably) arise?
Here's an opportunity to befriend your "shadow" masculine, bond with a group of aware dudes, and begin playing the game of life at the level that you were designed for.
Men in Awakened Masculine ongoing groups decide on intentions and challenges that will bring them the greatest benefit. Within that intention, each man will be held to his "leading (not bleeding) edge."
Also offered are get-in-your-body practices, silent sitting, and occasional themes (like "dad" or "death") that turn into dyads or group interactions. But the heart of the group is the mysterious, alchemical process that blends each man's presence, each man's desire to change for the better, and each man's willingness to love even when it gets tough. It's a great way to change!
Ongoing Awakened Masculine groups are limited to eight men. Occasionally seats become available in existing groups and qualified men will be offered those seats. What is "qualified"? A good place to start is here. Then contact Jim for a phone interview.
You'll be joining a program that meets every Wednesday night throughout the year, with two or three weeks off annually. The group meets in San Rafael.
Meeting start time is decided by group members; it's currently starts at 6:30pm and lasts for two hours.
Payment: $45 per session holds your seat in the group. Payment for the month's meetings is due on the first meeting of the month. New members are expected to commit for eight weeks.
All sexual orientations welcome.
