Evolutionary Men

Sexuality is one of the most powerful energies on the planet and one that can easily cause great harm if not matched with consciousness. We're living in a time when we men have the opportunity to take charge of our sexual charge and use it generatively rather than destructively.

In this episode of our Heart of Shadow series, my co-facilitator Luke Adler and I talk about how important it is for men to consciously work with sexuality to keep it out of the shadow so we can wield it as the creative force it's meant to be.

Sexuality is one of the many topics Luke and I cover in our program The Heart of Shadow, a 9-week virtual experience with a live retreat halfway through. If you're a man who's ready to transform, learn more and sign up at heartofshadow.com

When it comes to any kind of meaningful practice, the aim is to train at the edges of our capacity and stretch ourselves so that we can live with more ease back in the middle. Tune in to find out how this shows up in all facets of men's work, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual practice. 

Ever had one of those moments or days, when you just FEEL OFF, be it stressed, depressed, anxious, or unmotivated? Listen to this episode as I explore the three keys you can use to regain your center and come back to yourself in a grounded and regulated way.

Men's work is a powerful way to put these combined keys into action, so check out my upcoming 3.5 day retreat over Labor Day if you'd like to experience it firsthand. (https://evolutionary.men/retreat)

Leading with vulnerability is one of the most potent things I coach men on and it creates some unique challenges for us as men. Tune in to learn what I mean by vulnerability, what it often means when our partners say they want us to be more vulnerable, how we can bring it as masculine leaders, and what exactly makes it a significant act of leadership.

I'm again thrilled to be joined by Luke Adler, my friend and co-facilitator of The Heart of Shadow program. In this discussion, we share about our own shadow work processes that we worked through on a recent retreat with each other, and how this type of shadow work can facilitate a core level of healing that gets to the very essence of our wounding.

I recently got to spend some time watching a very herky-jerky lizard while on retreat, and in today's episode explore how its movement can be so representative of the brain state many of us men live in on a moment to moment basis. 

In this episode, I chat with my lovely wife Violet Lange about the importance of doing co-ed work and how it can amplify and refine the work we do together as men. We explore what co-ed work can look like, how it can benefit us whether we're single or in a relationship, and the specifics of her program Radiant Love which is a powerful container for exploring everything we discuss.

Men's work is having a moment in our culture right now, entering more and more into the mainstream each and every day. In this episode, I explore what I think the true purpose of men's work is and some of its common styles.

There is a crisis of male loneliness, and it started long before COVID. In this episode, I chat with friend and co-facilitator Luke Adler about how deeply this impacts men, why it's hard to make new male friendships as we age, and how transformational programs can create bonding experiences for men that last a lifetime.
