Ocean SOULder Circle: Men's Tribal Anger Expression & Emotional Intelligence

Gather in circle with other growth mindset men for a Blue Mind and ceremony inspired healing circle focused on understanding and dealing with emotions that may be difficult and or controversial for men.

We will also discuss and learn ways to express the powerful energy of anger in a healthy way. Men, especially of a certain age, were socialized in a way that not all emotions were acceptable. This can result in not having mastery in understanding your own emotions, not having the language to express yourself, and having compartmentalized and transmuting ALL of your harder to deal with emotions in one way, with ANGER.

In this group no emotions will be vilified only accepted as messengers to the body. We will start to explore some simple somatic practices to get into the body to start to understand the body and it's cues to certain emotions. This group will give you an opportunity to address difficult emotions in the supportive environment of other men to build your emotional intelligence while honoring your masculinity.

Competent and compassionate emotional expression from the divine masculine is the ultimate expression of power, at work, at home and in love.

If you are interested in this group, your are familiar with the limited tools and safe places for men to express a full spectrum of emotions. When emotions are stuffed and not allowed to pass through the body in a healthy way, health problems often arise. This kind of emotional toughness can lead to stuffing and health problems from arthritis, stress, high blood pressure to heart attacks, not to mention damaged or unsuccessful personal relationship.

Join this group to experience a safe environment of like minded men looking to expand their power and effectiveness in all facets of life by understanding and bravely stepping into healthy emotional understanding and expression.

"While I am clearly not a man, as a child I was socialized around a alpha male father, 2 brothers and 2 male cousins with no solitons to hurt feelings out outside of sucking it, up being tough, and ignoring any feelings that intimated losing or weakness. The acceptable emotions included pride, winning, superiority and accomplishment were even healthy emotions of love and attachment were tacitly considered weakness. It was not until my late 30's that I began to connect to and embrace my full emotional spectrum and allow in and honor my feminine. Though a Type A/ Driver Personality in Grad School and Business I gritted my way to success finally spiraling into burnout in my profession and physical problems that I had no answer to. Learning to understand and express my emotions in a pro-social way has changed my relationships, my health and my life ... including almost eliminating anxiety, losing 20 lbs, curing my asthma and just becoming an overwhelmingly more happy person, even when all circumstances remain the sam. In short, while I am not a man I have traversed the journey of being socialized this way to embracing my emotions and being able to communicate effectively about them to monumentally improve my health and relationships."
