SOVEREIGN BY NATURE
OPEN HEARTED WARRIOR
MEN'S GROUP
Starting February 18th - Every Thursday, 7pm est
You are cordially invited to the Open Hearted Warrior Men’s Group. For five consecutive Thursday Nights (February 18th - March 18th) we will gather with the intention of generating a space to connect, grow, heal, share, inspire and create an authentic community. A space where all parts of ourselves are welcome with non judgment, confidentiality, respect and compassion. This perfect group of strangers will become our sanctuary from the outside world. We believe that with our hearts & minds conjoined we can find something greater within and make a greater impact without.
Each year has its particular way of challenging us and with that comes great opportunity to discover who we are and who we want to become. With pause, reflection and brotherhood we can find new ways to travel this solo journey together.
Throughout our lives there are things that have brought us closer (and further away) from our centers — things that we hold dear and that which we regret; things that bring us joy and into the depths of suffering; things of great pride and great embarrassment. With open-hearted courage we have the opportunity to step more fully into life and ask ourselves:
Am I living a meaningful life on purpose?
Do I live with doubt, regret, sadness or isolation?
Do I feel fulfilled?
Do I need support to make an overdue change in my life?
Now is the time for men to gather so we can redefine masculinity and offer an emergent archetype of the Open Hearted Warrior. Our families, friends, community and planet could benefit from a better version of ourselves. Our intention is to create a safe space to dive into what makes us uncomfortable so that we can discover deeper truths about ourselves — and to find ways to become our best selves.
We hope that you will join us on this The Open-Hearted Warrior Men’s Group journey. Who knows where it will take us but we’re excited to find out. You inspire us and hope that you are willing to share your journey to inspire others.
