What does “being a man” mean to you?
What was the original programming/conditioning that went
into your beliefs about “masculinity”? Do those beliefs still serve you?
What principles today, in the #MeToo era, are currently
(re/)defining your understanding or desires for “maleness”?
How comfortable are you at expressing your primal
masculine power? Around women? During sex? How comfortable are women around you?
Do these questions challenge you? They ought to!
This event is designed to help men who are interested in
confronting outdated masculine paradigms and actively creating and adopting new
ones.
This body of work might be right for you if:
· You want to "go deep" with a band of
brothers who are dedicated to you becoming your own best version of yourself.
· You want to grow your masculine edge with solid
men who'll hold a clean container and give you straight feedback on how you're
showing up.
· You want to embody more of your "primal
masculine" in a conscious (non-toxic / non-harmful) manner so that you can
express yourself with greater passion and cleaner desire.
· You want to cultivate your capacity to fight for
what you want with the tenacity of a fierce warrior and the sensitivity of a
heart-centered, compassionate man.
New Man Rising is a men's group that explores the answers
to these questions and is dedicated to innovating, practicing and sharing a new
body of men’s work predicated on the idea that to truly reform ourselves as
men, we need to: (1) redefine what it means to be a man and (2) practice living
in that new masculine paradigm.
Our group’s MISSION is to evolve the old, traditional
masculine archetype from a limiting, toxic and unconscious model to one that
integrates and balances the following five pillars: (1) mindful intellect, (2)
emotional intelligence, (3) physical embodiment, (4) deep spirituality and (5)
conscious, primal sexuality. Together, these foundational elements comprise a
novel masculine paradigm (aka: New Man Rising Masculinity 2.0, or NMR M2.0).
Finally, our work is based on a variety of
transformational movements and consciousness / embodiment practices ranging
from sources such as David Deida as taught by John Wineland, emotional
intelligence / sensitivity practices as taught by various T-Group
practitioners, Eastern religions, Western / existential philosophers, the
12-steps, Jungian archetypes, cognitive-behavioral frameworks, Tantra, yoga,
ecstatic dance, and Wim Hoff breathwork. We also incorporate Life Purpose work
as taught through the lineage of Tim Kelley at the True Purpose Institute and
Marcia Wieder at Dream University.
