"Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women." David Deida
- What is your true purpose in life?
- What do women really want?
- What makes a good lover?
- How can I offer my deepest gifts to my family, my work and the world?
- How can I live a life of authenticity, without settling for mediocrity?
These are the questions we ask ourselves throughout our lives. As the cycles of life, work and love continue, we find ourselves seeking a deeper, more honest, and more authentic way of being in the world.
The Dublin Men's Meetup seeks to bring together Men who are ready to take the next step in the evolution of the Masculine.
We have seen what happens when a man is all spine and no heart: shallow, abusive men whose emotions and lack of openness damage their work and relationships. All their work and effort is the result of seeking to fill an emptiness within themselves.
We have seen what happens when a man opens his heart, but loses his spine: wishy-washy, new-age, flowster men who lack purpose and wander aimlessly through work, love and life. While their relationships are more equitable, their lives are often lacking in passion, intensity and a deep sense of purpose.
What if we could embody a Third Stage, where a man could share his open heart and his full consciousness with the world WITHOUT sacrificing his spine, his purpose and his direction in life? Where his every action is aligned with a deep knowledge and trust in his own mission in life, and his greatest gifts were offered freely, without fear, for the sake of all beings?
This is what we seek to embody through our work in the Dublin Men's Meetup.
Inspired by the work of such teachers as David Deida, Ken Wilber, and Satyen Raja, this group is open to all men who seek to discover or refine their purpose in life, who seek to further embody freedom and consciousness, who seek to deepen their intimate relationships and who wish to make a difference in the lives of their family, their community and the world.
We aim to make our practices and teachings both highly accessible and highly practical. Our group seeks to give each man the opportunity to:
- Discover our deepest purpose and how to align our lives, love and work to it
- Practice authentic feedback to aid our growth as men .
- Learn the dynamics of sexual polarity and how to use it as a tool to deepen your relationships.
- Celebrate our greatest wins
- Challenge one another to lean into our fears and greatest challenges
Our group is non-denominational, and is open to all Men who wish to explore and deepen the expression of their Masculine core. While we draw inspiration and practices from a variety of sources, we do not:
- base our practices on the "mens' work" of yesteryear (Robert Bly, Sam Keen, etc)
- consider ourselves to be New Age
- consider our work to be any kind of psychology/psychotherapy
- perform 'Rites of Passage' or 'Vision Quests'
While each of the above can be extremely valuable tools to progress toward a full expression of Masculine identity, we believe that our group is unique in our offering of immediate, practical and highly effective practices.
