SUMMARY:Men's Retreat: The Integrated Man\,  October 4-6th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Integrated Man:\nCultivating Masculine Power\nOctober 4 - 6\, 2024 \nCut through Your Stories\nDeepen Your Impact\nBecome the Man You Were Meant to Be \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is holding you back? At the end of the day the only one in your way is you. \nYou are responsible for creating the life you want. But you don’t have to do it alone. In fact\, you can’t. We need each other. \nIf your heart was fully yours to express\, if your gifts were unapologetically presented to the world\, if you were willing to be as bold and as brave as you’ve witnessed men you admire being\, what might you do with your one\, precious life? \nWhat parts of you are holding you back? Why? \nDiscover and claim your deepest power. This weekend is designed to help you to see\, claim\, and clarify your purpose in all the important places of your life — sex\, intimacy\, and romantic partnership. Career\, money\, and being lit up by what you do. Plus community\, connection\, and having a group to support and challenge you on the path. \nYou can’t do this alone. There are few things more powerful in the world than a group of strong\, conscious\, embodied men willing to serve one another. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommon Challenges We Address \n\n\nLack of emotional or physical intimacy (sex) \n\n\nCareer inertia \n\n\nPoor boundaries (standing up to a boss\, a spouse\, a child\, a parent) \n\n\nNumbed out — unsure of what you’re really feeling (no feeling = no balls and no heart\, which means your life is stuck) \n\n\nOut of touch with your heart’s purpose \n\n\nScarcity in money\, love\, or life \n\n\nChallenges with a marriage or partnership that seems to have run out of passion and energy \n\n\nFeeling you need to manage the emotions of your partner\, your boss\, your children\, or your parents (you don’t\, and shouldn’t) \n\n\nFeeling you’re too intense\, or not intense enough \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMasculine power comes with being in touch with your heart and your balls. You know these types of men\, because they’re rare as the most precious of stones. These men can access an emotionality that is grounded\, not weak. They have impeccable boundaries in love and work yet aren’t hard or calcified. \nThey are partnered with powerful women (or men) and able to be in a mature and heart-centered relationship that makes both people stronger than either one. They are strongly independent yet strive to create inter-dependent relationships (not co-dependent). They are vulnerable but still deeply masculine\, strong\, powerful\, playful\, and embodied. \nThe Integrated Man has integrated a strong back and a soft belly so he can get what he wants faster\, easier. He knows love\, intimacy\, community. He is comfortable by himself\, and in the stillness of meditation or nature. He knows who he is\, what he stands for\, and what he’s willing to die for. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe get one chance at life\, one time through to bring\nour gifts fully into the world.\nCareer. Love. Parenting. Creativity. Self-expression. Service. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the (very) intensive weekend\, you’ll learn to hold boundaries with an open heart; to take in criticism\, and challenge but not collapse — or posture. You’ll gain the experience of being more humble and more powerful. \nIt’s time to transcend ideas of what the masculine can or should be in order to find your own intelligent\, skillful\, fully alive\, highly relational\, emotionally sophisticated\, and deeply powerful self. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractices Include:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHot Seat practices — you’ll be placed in the center of a circle and get the full challenge and support of the four leaders \n\n\n\n\nBeing embodied — most men are cut off from what’s really happening inside of their bodies\, which means they’re cut off from not just their heart but also their balls \n\n\nLeading your own groups and helping other men to find greater clarity \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaking radical responsibility for your life and your relationships as they are right now \n\n\n\n\nGetting out of your victim mindset that blames the other person for how you feel and what choices you think you have \n\n\nStaying relational even in your biggest triggers — and why it matters for your own growth\, ambition\, and life fulfillment \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTranslating the work of the weekend to your real life \n\n\nLeading with curiosity —especially when defensiveness and the impulse to fix or give advice are present \n\n\nMindful\, fierce presence with yourself and with the other men. You’ll be taught how to slow down and be present with yourself and with others\, and why it matters so much \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis will be led by experienced men’s work facilitators Jeffrey James Howard\, Marco Lam\, Keith Martin-Smith\, and Eddie Konold. Jeffrey and Eddie are licensed psychotherapists. Marco is an acupuncturist\, permaculture expert\, and community leader. Keith is an ordained Zen priest\, published author\, and martial arts lineage holder\, and Marco and Keith have been in the same men’s group\, with the same group of men\, for 14+ years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Keith had a strong presence\, physically and spiritually with meditation and embodiment exercises. Eddy was love and gentleness\, killing it with kindness and active\, warm\, soft reflective listening and precise at picking up relational material to give back and act on. Marco was mindful\, honest\, and more of a quiet/wise leader and organizer. Jeffrey was an excellent facilitator\, listener\, and therapist\, coming in with challenges that quickly closed in on the issues at hand\, using a knife to sharpen his teeth and go in for the kill. \nWatch out!  They all worked very well together\, cohesive\, displayed confidence and therefore trust and a letting go into the work and the group. The container was beautiful and held tighter as the retreat came to a close. I would participate again. I would recommend this to any man wanting more from his relationships.”  \n— GA\, Spring 2022 \n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday  \n6-7:15 - Council \n7:30-8:30 pm Dinner at Elkstone Farm \n8:30- 9:10 pm Fire circle: Turn up the heat \n9:10 Close for the night \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:45-10:15- Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:15-1200 Content/circle/teaching \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-5- Extended break/wander/practice period \n5-6:30- Content/circle/teaching \n6:30-7:30- Dinner \n7:30-8:45- Closing circle for the day \n8:45-9 — Warrior’s rest/Meditation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday  \n9:00-9:40- Sit \n9:40-10:00 Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:00-11:30- Content/circle/teaching \n11:30-11:45- Break \n11:45-12:00- Physical/embodiment exercise \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Content/circle/teaching \n3:30-3:45 Break \n3:45 - 4:20 Circle/teaching \n4:20 - 4:30 Break \n4:30-6:00 - Bringing it home \n6:00-7:00- Dinner \n\nREFUND POLICY \nRefunds will be charged a $50 fee up to 30 days before the event. \nTHERE ARE NO REFUNDS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF START OF THE EVENT.
