Unarmored: Find Your Presence and Power

Here!Unarmored is an evening to finally turn your brain off. Feel present in your relationships. Feel grounded in who you are, not just what you’ve achieved. And walk away knowing how to find that presence again: at work, at home, and in bed.​As a man, you are conditioned to play the part of a man. The confident one, the provider, the guy who has it handled. Maybe you've found yourself pushing through, reaching achievement after achievement, but underneath, you're not sure you actually feel any of it. Never really taught how to be a man, only how to look like one. Call it imposter syndrome in your masculinity.​The mind never stops. Building, solving, optimizing. Even rest isn’t really rest.​You watch masculinity be weaponized: against women, against children, against the earth, against other men. You feel the absence of men worth following. It’s enough to make a man furious, heartbroken, or both. And when there’s nowhere to bring any of it, numbness starts to feel like the only option.​So many men feel lonely, even surrounded by people. Plenty of contacts, and no one they can actually be real with.​And with women, it can be even harder. Not knowing how to be a sexual man without becoming “that guy,” many men hold back, and end up feeling disconnected.​None of this is a failing. It’s what happens when men are never given a space to take the armor off.​You know there’s more to masculinity than this. You’re just not sure how to get there.​(Women and LQBTQIA+ friends- please send this to a cis man you care about. Men need this work!)​What This Space Is:​This is an embodied experience. We'll talk, but we'll also move, be witnessed by brothers in our experience, drop into our bodies, and feel.​We'll begin with a grounding practice to help you arrive, and shake out all the sticky discomfort that comes with showing up to a space that feels vulnerable.​From there, we'll be in an honest circle together. You'll be witnessed by other men, possibly on a deeper level than you have before.​We'll make space for anger. To finally let it move through the body, safely, without harming anyone. And we'll make space for what so often lives underneath it: grief, tenderness, longing.​We'll explore sexual energy as life force, through breath and movement. Not something to suppress, and not something to unleash on anyone, but something to feel, move, and lead from.​I'll guide somatic practices and offer prompts and questions, and support you in real time as whatever needs to arise, arises.​We'll close by integrating what came up, so you leave grounded and ready to bring that presence home to the people you love.​This is a sex-positive space. We'll talk openly about what it's like to be a sexual man in a world that has little room for the force of male sexuality, and how that leaves so many men confused, isolated, or turning to porn, without real guidance on how to be with their sexual energy.​Your safety and mine matter here. This space is fully clothed and held with clear boundaries. Every practice is an invitation, you are always free to say no, and there is no physical touch between participants or with me without explicit, spoken consent. Sexual energy is explored internally, through breath, sound, and movement, never acted out toward anyone in the room.​What This Space Is Not:​This is not an outwardly sexual space.This is not a space to bring judgments, of yourself or of anyone else.This is not therapy, and it is not a replacement for it.This is not a space to perform, prove, or posture.This is not a place to fix anyone, or to be fixed.This is not about shaming men, or blaming masculinity.This is not a competition. There is no right way to feel.This is not a space to bypass. Nothing gets pushed down or polished over here.​Why a woman holds this space​So many men have learned to perform around women, or to hide from them. Here, you get to be met by the feminine without performing. You can feel your anger, your grief, and your desire in the presence…
