About the Event
In this mens only series, you will connect with your bodies innate intelligence and wisdom to support your wellbeing. Whether you are new to self development or have  participated in other groups, you will find this is a wonderful program with a roadmap for navigating life challenges. Concrete tools and guidance are offered to support you in integrating wellness practices out side of our class time. Through this 9 week structure you have the opportunity to create new self care habits.
This mens series came to life from the suggestion of two men who were experiencing the profound benefits of the Body Mind Wisdom method in a co-ed group. They sensed that other men would also benefit from connecting in to their bodies to support their emotional growth and development. So I went ahead and ran a series that year. It was wonderful, profound and had a lasting impact on the participants. In fact, they  continued to get together at our session time/day long after the program had ended! Just today I was stopped in the grocery store by a previous participant who told me how much he learned from our time together, and how he continues to use the tools. I'm inspired to offer this series so that more men can experience deep and lasting connections with other men, and implement more self awareness and self care. Please read testimonials on the website to get an idea of what to expect.
About Body Mind Wisdom:
Many of us think that we are connected to our bodies. We use it everyday to work. We notice when it hurts, when it is loud! Rarely do we listen to the quiet, the subtle, the softness. Embedded in to the tissues and fibres of our body is our Being, the essence of who we are. Through movement and stillness I will guide you in theme based practices that bring you back to your essence. From here you can listen to what has been hidden and find guidance. Our confidential sharing circle is a place to connect and share with other men, and listen to how they are navigating their unique life experiences. This is a place where you can safely explore what it means to be deeply present, to learn how/when judgement arises and to cultivate compassion.
