Welcome.  We’re glad you found your way here.

Are you a male identifying human who has questions about what masculinity is in our modern age?

Do you struggle to live a whole, complete, fully embodies, grounded, connected, empowered life?

Do you long for a community of brothers who can challenge while simultaneously having your back and celebrating your growth?

Join us for a 10 week guided exploration connecting deeper with the essential elements of masculinity. Heal the wounds holding you back and deepen into a fuller, healthier version of yourself.

At it’s core, the Elemental Masculine is:

fire * water * air * earth   

heart * mind * body * soul

 analysis * action * wisdom * sensuality 

thinking * feeling * doing * being

We all have these things in us.  Sometimes we are cut off from them.  Sometimes we have overdeveloped one area and underdeveloped others.  Sometimes we are afraid to be our full selves because of how it will be received.  Sometimes we have been shut down by others.  In this group, we will set and refine our goals, grow our strengths, and look at our shadows and what holds us back from achieving what we set out to do.  In short, we will  breathe new energy into and strengthen each element to be more effective and more fulfilled in our lives.

Some of the topics explored in this group include

  • Leadership of Self and Other
  • Right Relationship
  • Intimacy
  • Sexuality
  • Creativity
  • Proper of Emotion in a Person’s Life
