I'm looking forward to joining together next week in brotherhood for the I AM MAN - Men’s Retreat.

This weekend will share the voices of elders, Aikido, not just as a means to redirect energies in martial art but as a path to personal empowerment, and a series of shadow processes and group activities – all designed with one goal in mind – to help every man metabolize anything that’s happening in their life and step into his own unique sense of himself.

A few spaces remain for men to join us - please read the pamphlet for more information about the space, its facilitators and please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions

You get really tired of replaying the disappointments of your life. You think you have to time travel to the past to undo the hurt but where did that get you?

Understanding?
An apology from a parent?
A more crystallized version of the hurt?

It’s helpful to know where you came from but don’t let it be the defining narrative for how you are, for who you are.

It’s binding - tethered, scarred into the flesh but it does not define you.

No…no no no. Only you can do that. Right here. Right now. You define how you will live your life and not how it will be lived for you.

An old blueprint is like autopilot…it’s too comfortable to hold onto. For if you are not this than who are you? Embrace by that uncertainty is far more discomforting than we let on. To rewrite our roles. To add new chapter to our identity.

Any self unraveling I’ve embarked on bestowed answers to my questions but it never made it any easier to make the change and live with a new directive.

Look to your future.
It is here. Right Fu*king now.
Give power to your new reckoning.

Passion…give the lifeblood.
Nurture what you will manifest

The modern zeitgeist is characterized most by the radical shift from the psychological power being invested in institutions to its relocation in the individual.

In what direction are you moving today? And is it the same direction you were moving in yesterday and the day before. Velocity dictates results, not speed.

How will you lead yourself?

With compassion?
Curiosity?
Resilience?
Respect?

Not your parents. Not your church. Not your institution.

You decide.

All our struggles are occasion by the pain of that split. The difference between the inner sense of self and our acquired personality groomed through decades of survival strategies; become so great that the pain of its disparity can no longer be suppressed or compensated.

Stop doing s**t that doesn’t make you feel good. But letting go of old ways of being is scary because in essence the person that we were, and it’s accompanying behaviours have to be replaced by the person we must become.

One has to die for the other to be born.

No wonder we lose ourselves, and don’t recognize the person in the mirror no more.

Who are you if you discard those parts that no longer serve you? And do they even need to be discarded or can they hold a place in your heart and be accepted, dare I say loved but not in control of you no more?

So we have a choice to move from the provisional life to true adulthood, from the false self to authenticity.

Life is filled with experiences that are unpredictable and beyond anyones control.

Trying to create a perfect predictable life in which everything always goes as planned isn’t just boring, it’s futile. I’ve been scared of chaos all my life - not good enough moments - problems not timely met - fear begetting fear.

This kind of behaviour isn’t just paralyzing, its life-threatening.

Leaning in and flowing with the tides of circumstances has been one of the most liberating exercises in equanimity. Why? Because resisting every unpredictable and unfortunate moment doesn’t just rip me from my presence - it exhausts me.

What strategies do you use I. Your works to keep you from feeling like a powerless victim?

Go rock the boat.
