Men’s workshop

We live an age where there are many representations of what it is to be a “man”. It is up to us, men, to listen to what is revealed, but even more important to connect with our own essence : To get in touch with our strength, our integrity, our inner wisdom and to enter the world from there. In relation to who we really are and in relation to the communities to which we belong, as men we can create space for our wounds and take the risk of openly face the world with the fullness of our hearts. During the men’s workshops, we explore our ways of connecting with ourselves and with the world around us.

Are you the man you want to be?

• Are you a change agent, a man working with others for the good of society?
• Are you outwardly successful and looking to become more integrated with other parts of  your life?
• Are you still trying to get there on your own?
• Do you struggle with commitment, with discipline, with emotional honesty, with feelings of powerlessness or inadequacy, with anger, frustration, depression?
• Have you never felt safe or at ease in a group of men?

Men’s work can help you figure out the why to these questions and the how to change that. In a circle of men you have a place to come and explore, refine and express yourself, also the parts that you may find hiding out in the shadows.

Show up as the man, husband, partner, father, and brother. With the knowledge that movements fail not because of the lack of good ideas or even good organization, but because of the lack of mature bonding.  It needs a kind of connection between people that allows groups to overcome personal and psychological blocks and resolve interpersonal conflicts in a way that is energizing rather than draining to their efforts.

In a kind of brotherhood that you trust, you will find the courage and strength to break free of your old and limiting beliefs that sabotage you and will find YOUR PLACE in the community of your belonging with a healthy purpose.

Men’s workshop: an opprotunity to discover yourself as a man

Imagine a group where other men will absolutely tell you the whole truth about where you are strong, and where you sell yourself short.

With the support of the energy and consciousness of other men, your own clarity of vision emerges. You will be able to find what you deeply value, what you are most passionate about, what makes you tick. You will be able to step through the fear of showing up authentically, powerfully, and vulnerably.

Energized by transformative experiences using the power of group, you are invited as a man to come forward with your truth. You will be supported and challenged and that’s just a gift for any man. No matter how old or young you are as a man, you can answer the call of  the “hero’s journey”.

Each man will be provided tools and learning that help you fulfill your dreams. Each man will have the opportunity to have focused work to meet his own needs, and the chance to give his gifts to other men.

Workshops for men at IBI is inspired by the Core-Energetic Evolutionary process and is a life affirming opportunity to honor the best in what you, as a men, has to offer the planet. “Maps that work” will guide your deep longing as a man to feel more, feel more powerful, to get unstuck, build better relationships,  connection, inspiration, passion, and fulfillment and feel like you’re really doing something to make your life matter.

What you’ll get in this men’s workshop:

• A space where men get real
• Deeper Self-awareness
• Communication tools
• Belonging & connection to Self
• Emotional mastery skills
• A brotherhood of connection
• A path forward to energize your growth
