For queer and straight men to fully transmute their wound into their magick, medicine, and love.
Who this is for
This immersion is for queer, trans and straight men who want to breakthrough their blocked, stuck energy, and embody their unique balance of divine feminine and divine masculine power. This immersion is for you if you've done inner life, been in therapy, attended retreats and ceremonies, and yet you don't feel lit up or energized for life.
Maybe these statements resonate as well.
You are ready to trust your power and intuition.
You thought you healed. That shit is festering again.
Yet you're ready (maybe a little scared) to be seen and fully loved while standing in your magical energy.
And you know it's time to fully transmute your pain into medicine and wisdom for the collective.
You're done overcompensating and ready to feel enough as a dad.
You give your energy away and it never seems to be reciprocated.
You're exhausted.
Statement on Power
I know that "men stepping into their power" can sound odd, or even triggering. For many of us, power has meant control, dominance, or force, and some of us have been hurt by it. That's not what I mean. Here, power is energy.
As men, when we are disconnected from our power, we will take it from others. We know what this looks like when it's physically violent and aggressive. Perhaps you've healed enough and/or learned to not disempower others. But there is a difference between NOT taking another's power away, and living from your personal power.
If you're not living from your power, you are syphoning it off others through control, manipulation, or active/passive aggression. It looks like avoidance and irritability to others. You are likely easily relationally drained, emotionally and mentally fatigued, and turning to numbing behaviors.
Your power is your life force, love, creativity, joy, presence, imagination, healing touch, and more. It's the vitality that's already in you, and this immersion is about feeling and reconnecting to your divine source again.
This isn't a "men's retreat".
This is an immersion into your soul.
What to expect
I'm not going to give away everything, because part of the magic is in the mystery. What I can tell you is that we'll spend two days in a room built for honesty, presence, and joy. Expect to be seen by others, to feel and be in your body, and to do your own individual work alongside other men doing the same. Expect it to be more magical and high vibration. Some of it will be edgy and stretchy. All of it will be intentional, paced, and transformational. You won't be asked to perform, fix, or figure anything out. My intention is that you have an indelible experience of love, power, and renewed imagination for your life.
