awareness of Spirit.

Join
a group of committed men as we learn how
to embody The New Masculine, the Divine
Masculine, Eros, integrate and call in all perspectives into
BE-ing with fierce awareness, stretching the boundaries of
what is possible, bravely holding space for the feminine,
nature, body, spirit, integrity, authenticity, wisdom and
heart. Using new Integral and Developmental
Systems Theory, breathwork, and traditional archetypes,
initiations, and ritual, you’ll learn how to align your true
purpose and the full embodiment of presence for the highest
good of all beings.

The
Integral Warrior Mini-Workshops
Asheville,
NC: Based on David Deida's book, The Way of the Superior
Man, this groupmeets one weeknight for eight weeks, and
dives deep into individual chapters about integrity, women,
authenticity, work, friendship, purpose, and more,
transcending the new age sensitive guy and the macho jerk, to
discover the unity of heart and spine. For information and
upcoming dates,

There
is a place within all of us where we can be truly, deeply, and
profoundly met. It is a place where we can transcend our egos
for a higher purpose while staying grounded in our own needs.
It is a place of authenticity and compassion. It is where we
are seen in all of our light and purpose, in our shortcomings
and faults, and still seen as perfect. It is where we come
fully, and consciously, into the fullness of ourselves as
divine beings.
Relationship
is a path to transformation. Once in place, it is, quite
simply, the simplest, most available, immediate practice to
transformation and transcendent experience we can have...the
most life changing, here-it-is-folks, non-dual, ordinary path
to spiritual realization, and the combination of states and
stages puts one on the fast track to Spirit.
This
workshop recognizes that, while transformation and awakening
is one of the reasons you want to call a Beloved, it's not the
only reason. Your heart is calling to you.
Come
answer that call.....

Do you ever
feel like there’s something more to your relationship than
is currently showing up? There is! Every couple that comes
together creates their own unique pattern of form, color, and
texture, as if a third energy exists between them. Each couple
has a relationship purpose and work to do together.
If you feel that your relationship
needs a new definition, a deepening, a renewal, or a way to
transition to a new purpose, even if that purpose is to
complete your relationship, this workshop is for you!

Relationship As A Path To The
Divine:
Exploring Sacred Union in Sacred Space: Co-facilitated
with my life partner, Anyaa McAndrew
Intimate
relationships are at the heart of becoming fully human. Our
greatest moments of enlightenment, disillusionment, light,
shadow, bliss and despair are often found interwoven in the
fabric of our very human connections.
It is through the path of sacred
union with the great mystery, as well as our human lovers and
partners, that our life force energies, desires, and passions
are ignited. When we are touched by the Sacred Flame of inner
yearning and longing our lives are transformed.
Conscious, Sacred Relationship is the
fruit of reconnecting our divinity with our humanity.
Join us in this beautiful mountain
paradise as we rekindle and reawaken the powerful healing
energies held deep within our hearts, bodies and souls.

SHAMANIC
BREATHWORKTM
INTENSIVES:
For
groups, couples, or individuals...A shamanic psycho-spiritual
journey into other worlds and the subconscious levels of our
being.
The Shamanic
Breathwork™ Process is a powerful healing process that
inspires individuals to remember and reconnect with their own
inner healer. As old wounds and dysfunctional patterns are
released and transformed, individuals begin to regain lost
soul parts and remember the magic of who they truly are.
Empowerment brings wholeness and healing back into their own
lives, to the lives of those they love, and to the world at
large.
This process is highly experiential and the wisdom and healing
gained comes from each individual's inner experience. Shamanic
Breathwork™ honors and blends the timeless wisdom of ancient
traditions with the emerging new paradigm methods of healing
and teaching. It functions as the rainbow bridge between these
two worlds honoring the best of both worlds while creating a
bridge for body, mind, heart, and spirit.

BIG LOVE integral:
A
Participatory Exploration into Conscious Romantic Relationship
in an Integral Context
Big
Love Integral is a 6-part workshop on conscious romantic
relationship using an integral approach based largely on Ken
Wilber's comprehensive map of consciousness. This new approach
recognizes that relationship is a practice, and will
constitute a new definition of successful relationship from
the highest perspective possible for each individual.
Big
Love Integral looks at relationship in an evolutionary, or
developmental context where relationship can, and does, evolve
as individuals, social systems, and culture evolve, and that
we are entering an age where relationship can be the highest
expression of Spirit, God, Consciousness, or Awareness. If you
want to be conscious in your life, the proof of your embodied
realization is going to be in your relationships, and
especially with your beloved.
