Men’s work is the process of getting into alignment with who you really are.
Over the course of our lives, we adopt the beliefs, values and behaviours from our community at large, our social groups, our teachers and our families that have over time become our default ideology. This creates the way in which we identify with ourselves and how we interact with the world around us.
Many social parameters and values are beneficial for the functioning of society. However, over time these can become outdated but we still operate from beneath their shadow: for example “boys don’t cry”. In addition, we may still be led by the way we were conditioned to view the world growing up, for example, our outlook on success, balance, productivity, happiness and meaning. When out of true alignment this can cause us to feel stressed, unfulfilled, discouraged and unhappy.
Men’s wo
rk invites an honest evaluation and unpacking of behaviours and perspectives that no longer serve you and in fact limit your potential. Doing this work, embracing vulnerability, meeting your demons, and establishing boundaries builds a deeper trust and inner leadership within yourself. This trust permits you to take aligned action on who you want to be, what you want to create and how you want to show up in your relationships, work and community.
