As Alexandre and I have been preparing the ground for this men's group, we both realized that what we are holding space for is the men's gathering we have both longed for.
As Rumi said, when you are hungry, be bread. I have always had a hunger for depth, authenticity, beauty and soul in connection with men, and know and value the deep healing that can come when we can move together, drum together, grieve together, imagine together, practice ritual together, listen deeply to each other, and support each other in showing up wholeheartedly, with depth and soul to meet our lives and the call of our times.
We have a few seats left by this fire if you or a brother you know is drawn to join us.

"The heart that breaks open can contain the entire universe."
-Joanna Macy
"Our work is to understand grief not only as an emotion, but a core faculty of being human, a profound capacity to metabolize sorry into something nutrient-dense for the community."
-Francis Weller
Friends, my dear brother and colleague, Alexandre Jodun and I are holding an online grief tending ritual for men in February. It feels so essential for men to gather for this type of soul work, and we are both honored to hold a ritual container for it.
Please feel free to pass on to any men who might be interested in joining us.

Embodiment Matters is an ongoing, rich conversation about what it really means to be embodied, and why, and how embodiment matters so much in our daily lives, and in our world.

Salt Lake City folks, Registration is open for a group for men beginning in late February. Please feel free to share it with any who might be interested.
“True masculine power happens when courage, integrity, vulnerability, compassion, awareness, and the capacity to take strong action are all functioning together. Such power is potent but not aggressive, challenging but not shaming, grounded but not rigid, forceful but not pushy. Again, it requires head, heart, and guts in full-blooded alignment.” -Robert Augustus Masters
