Breathwork and Brotherhood
An evening of peace, connection, and clarity for men
The medicine is simple. And that’s why it’s so powerful:
We’re going to slow down. Come into our bodies. Let our hearts speak. Set down some of those heavy burdens we hold. And breathe through what’s trapped in our systems.
In doing so, we’ll uncover a pervading peace that lives beneath all of the noise, returning to our lives with more presence and capacity. We’ll bridge new neural pathways, finding insight on places of challenge in our lives. And we’ll synchronize our body, emotions, and spirit, feeling more of our authentic selves as we leave the weekend to walk in the world.
This is the medicine we’ve been waiting for as men.

“Being together with other men like this was something I believed was not possible outside of high school and college contexts. Leaving this event, I am feeling reinvigorated as a partner and father.” -Durham Participant
Breathwork
is an enlivened breath practice that cleanses the body and resets our nervous system. We use a breath pattern that allows us to drop beneath our conscious programming into an altered state and begin to re-wire pathways in our body. This powerful, self-healing practice is known to get us “unstuck” and offer self-generated insights that lead us towards more clarity, peace, and connection in our lives.
because we’re not designed to reach our full potential alone, and yet, we’re so alone these days. If you’ve been in an intentional space of men, you know something special happens. We receive an inspiration and resource that just isn’t possible to access by ourselves. The circle gives us a permission to stretch and grow into our most alive expression.

“Being together with other men like this was a completely new experience for me, and I found it to be deeply meaningful and transformative. This experience has reshaped some truths I thought I knew and expanded the ways in which I want to connect with others.” -Atlanta Participant
“In this space, I felt held, honored, comforted, challenged, softened, and strengthened. The alchemy of the evening allowed for a healthy dose of screaming, crying, and laughing, all of which felt nurturing and welcomed.” -NYC Participant
