For Men:
Mastering Presence From The Inside Out
“Every man knows that his highest purpose in life cannot be reduced to any particular relationship. If a man prioritizes his relationship over his highest purpose, he weakens himself, dis-serves the universe, and cheats his woman of an authentic man who can offer his full, undivided presence.”
David Deida
Imagine showing up as the man you have always wanted to be in all your relationships—-as a partner, a father, a son, a friend, grandfather, brother. Imagine being that man whose strength is his heart and his capacity to be fully present.
This workshop is for men who are ready to say YES to dropping the masks and conditioning to express the most real and alive parts of themselves, from the inside out. This workshop is for you if you want to:
- Learn how to deeply connect to your feeling self so that you can connect with the people you love.
- Know when you are becoming defensive and learn how to drop your armor from a place of strength.
- Understand what women truly want and give from a place of devotion.
- Drop the “I’ll never be good enough” story for the truth of who you really are.
- Ditch your excuses for not taking radically good care of yourself, physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually.
- Connect to a deeper purpose that infuses your life with meaning and joy.
- Embrace a fuller masculinity that is rooted not in performance but in connection.
In order for these things to happen, the Inner Critic who continually cuts us down and compares us to others would have to be challenged.
The Shadow part of us who sabotages our best efforts and hides our “gold” would have to be revealed.
The Inner Child part of us who is paralyzed by fear would need to be understood.
The Victim who always blames someone else would need to surrender its righteous pride.
There are very few places where men can do their inner work. Women naturally gather and share with one another, but I have witnessed over the years that many men are emotionally isolated, even from their female partners. The effects of cultural conditioning and the burden of needing to achieve “success” drives many men into depression, anger and addiction. This begins to change as men drop the competition and reach out to support one another.
In this workshop, you will learn to recognize and access 3 very essential and potent archetypal energies of the Divine Masculine: the Lover, the King, and the Monk.
- The Lover is a master of deep appreciation and compassion.
- The King is a master of truth and power.
- The Monk is a master of wisdom and devotion.
You will learn practical relational skills. We focus on three specific areas: how to cultivate increased empathy, vulnerability, and accountability.
Take this opportunity to learn from a woman who has been helping men and women, gay and straight, to express their love in healthy ways for over 25 years.
Sharing the teachings from her book, Loveseed: The Template For Birthing A New World, Kathleen will be your guide on the most important journey you will ever take—-the journey of deep self- acceptance. You will learn powerful tools to elevate your life by helping you transform any negative situation into an opportunity to love.
Using psychodrama, group process and discussion, breath and movement, we will gather with the intention to make changes that make a difference in our lives.
In addition. Kathleen will do a group Biofield Tuning, which is a unique non-medical therapeutic method that uses sound waves produced by tuning forks in the bio-magnetic field, or biofield, that surrounds the human body to induce deep targeted relaxation and transformation. We will co-create the intention as part of our collective healing.
What past clients have said:
There is a great need in this present time for men to explore and deal with their emotions. It has been devastating to the individual to hide feelings under the guise of deconstructive masculinity and it can't go on any longer. In order to find true balance, men, women, everyone needs to be able to express and deal with what is going on inside their hearts and minds and feel that hey have a safe place to do so for whatever may come out!
One of the wonders of Kathleen is her ability to dance between the masculine and feminine energies and be present with you—the real you.
She always creates a safe and nurturing space for you to find the man you know you are deep inside your heart.
Kathleen, she has an uncanny ability to narrow down an issue to a single phrase or sentence. While I may have disagreed with what she told me at times, she usually was correct in her assessment when I actually let go of my own way of seeing. Her ability to listen and find the part that I was missing has been invaluable. I remember many of these phrases that continue to help me.
Kathleen has a potent ability to uncover core issues and heal them quickly. Her techniques, grounded in love and wisdom, go to the root and deliver results fast. I trust her as a guide in the deepest recesses of my being and go to her when I am in need of expert, non-judgmental support from a professional.
