Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover
A 4 Month Men’s Group to Become an Undeniable Force
Every man is born with an essential gift and unique life force that he must bring into being, to those he loves and his communities. Early life teaches us to deny it. Youth teaches us to conform and adulthood incentivizes conformity. Breaking free requires courage. Accessing the Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover within is not just the antidote, it is your birthright.
Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover
To quote a translation from Carl Jung, ‘One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious’. Most people are not destined for path to becoming enlightened masters, but we all have the ability to bring a great luminescence into our relationships, our sex, fatherhood, leadership, business, career, etc. It’s a noble pursuit to act through the expression of our highest principles and in order to do so it requires that we know where we are falling short. The Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover is the inner resource you need to cultivate in order to surrender the conditioning of the past: fears, poor habits, collapse, shame, and rage; into loving awareness. This alchemical process begins the essential rewilding of our bodies, minds, and spirits to awaken to the mystery that lies beyond what we fear. Here we discover our hidden talents and super powers capable of generating a more artful and loving world for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.
We liberate the creative life force energy within by relaxing the tension in our bodies through movement, group process, men’s work practices, brotherhood, and psychological/emotional/spiritual depth insights and practices. Developing the sensitivity to our inner experience and our outer environment while sharpening the perception of our awareness so we can act with precision and the capacity to feel the impact of our actions. Ensuring that our bodies, these vessels for creative energy, are free to respond to life’s great challenges and pleasures with the full depth of our being.
The Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover calls to you.
Through your fears, shame, tension, and insecurities, the Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover calls to you from within with a subtle whisper of awareness. He points to anything in your being that is out of order, antiquated, or obsolete. Most men are afraid of this whisper and run. You’ll sabotage meaningful relationships, career opportunities, friendships, goals, and the potential for deep fulfillment out of the fear of confronting what he is asking you to confront. You’ll escape using familiar addictions: phone, alcohol, drugs, sex, money, status, peak experiences, spiritual bypassing, or physical appearance. Often under the illusion that you’ve obtained some level of mastery in this game of life, you conform to the expectations you’ve created to sustain something unsustainable. But the Wild Man 𐍈 Dark Lover keeps calling. Until you hear his call, and bow at the alter of his mission to rewild you, he will continue his antics creating moments in life that will challenge you beyond your capabilities as an unintegrated man. But once you understand his antics and you realize he is your greatest ally, you begin to access the curriculum of your soul’s unique purpose on this planet and your life stops its monotony and becomes something extraordinary.
Core Teachings
Anger & Rage Work
Whether you know you’re angry or not, anger is an essential aspect of masculinity. How could you not be angry in this world? Social structure places us in cages when we’re meant for something wilder. Some men are too angry and use anger as a defense mechanism for their vulnerability. Others are afraid of their anger and so they become ambiguous in the wants and needs. Coming into contact with our primal anger and rage is like harnessing the power of the Sun. It is hot plasma and when pointed in the right direction, with the right care and intention, becomes passionate fuel to make manifest our greatest desires.
Awareness of Awareness
Practicing presence amongst a group of men is a balm for the masculine heart. As we dive into these various practices, we’ll cultivate awareness of our awareness. It is the part of us that never changes, through difficult times or easy times. This awareness of awareness is what you cultivate to be able to see the world clearly, outside of your conditioning and watch your psychodrama unfold with objectivity in order to integrate what is ruling your life unconsciously. Building this muscle enables profound relaxation even in the most stressful moments of life.
Energetic Movement
Through ecstatic dance, breathing, physical and energetic training, you’ll deepen your understanding of where flow meets resistance in your body so you can easily identify what needs to move in order for you to be an open vessel of experience. We’ll marry this with group process in order that each man’s experience to serve another. Crafting a defined and deep expertise on the mechanisms of your experience well beyond what you currently know.
Structure
-
Gathering in a circle of men is a practice as old as humanity. Here we share ideas, best practices, feedback, insights, and reflections. Shaping our awareness through the understanding of another’s experience. We all have wisdom to give and lived experience to share.
-
Getting out of the head and into the body is a challenge most men face daily. Men often receive feedback from their intimate partners to get out of their head. Well, its not so easy, until it becomes habit. We practice to make it habit so that our consciousness has room to breathe through our bodies.
-
How do you open up your body to experience more when you’re facing a screen? It’s not easy. In person meetings are superior in this work as immersing yourself amongst the nervous systems of other men creates an imprint that is just as essential as the content of the meeting.
-
Loneliness is a serious issue. Some of us may know we’re experiencing loneliness, some of us don’t realize it until we’re around a group of men capable of going deep on big questions. This group of men will life you out of any funk holding you back from truly connecting.
Who Should Join?
If these questions stir the pot, you’re ready.
My intimate partner is challenging me to grow in ways that I don’t know how to navigate…
The path of maturity from boy psychology to man psychology is the integration of the feminine experience. I am not talking about women, I am talking about our own emotional experience. Our intimate partners are savvy at reflecting back to us the unintegrated aspects of our psyche. We need men who are further along than us to help guide us to and through our next level of evolution.
I feel stuck in life, like my back is against the wall but I don’t see a way forward…
The failure to change is merely the failure of imagining a different future. Imagination is the key word here. Being around other men, hearing how they navigate challenges, and connecting to your own inherent intuition can stir your imagination and provide new avenues for progress in every area of your life.
I am cycling through the same problems over and over and I’m tired of insufficient solutions…
This highlights the need to expose your problems to a group of men for reflection and feedback because there is something you’re just not seeing. How can you accurately apply adequate solutions if you only see a part of the problem? You need good men.
I know there is more to life than the path that I am on…
What are your inherent values and principles? How do you define those values and principles? Do you adhere to them in your life? Satisfaction comes when your life is in alignment with what your heart desires. Your values and principles help you take aligned action. Accountability to other men will supercharge your commitment.
What Benefits Can I anticipate?
Greater Clarity
Taking action is easy but doesn’t always lead you in the right direction. Taking aligned action is harder but will keep you firmly rooted in your capacity to respond to your life with confidence, clarity, self-assurance, and intrinsic power.
Emotional Awareness
How often do you wish you had greater resources at your disposal? You are in the midst of making decisions and you feel like you’re shooting from the hip. Emotional awareness is the missing link. Knowing what you want and how to get it while being self aware and aware of another is a master key to success in any arena.
Improved Capacity for Relaxation
Men need to learn how to relax without escape which are often conflated. Throwing Netflix on or watching a football game isn’t relaxing. It’s entertainment and it is numbing. I am talking about the soul quenching ability to relax into awareness. To settle the mind and get into the body without running from your challenges but rather resourcing in order to confront your challenges with more vigor.
Enhanced Sexual Prowess
I’ll tell you right now, your sexual power has little to do with your desire to fuck your partner. It has everything to do with your capacity to slow down, to listen to her body, and respond to her pleasure in creative ways. She wants to feel you feeling her; if this program is anything, it is about your capacity to feel life and respond creatively.
Master Communication Skills
Language shapes our interpretation of the world. The scope of your lexicon is at the core of your freedom and your limitations. Reshaping your lexicon will reshape your life as a new lens is inserted into your perceptive abilities. You’ll discover new ways of expressing yourself to overcome the relational challenges you have with yourself and with others.
Enormous Progress
Where do you currently source wisdom for your life’s challenges? From men you respect who are further along the path than you are? Once you step into this container, the progress on your goals gains immediate momentum. These men will challenge you while loving you and you’ll be way better off because you chose to step in.
