Dear Men,
We (Devin and Daway) invite you to join us in a journey of intimacy and discovery. There is a new Archiarchal Women's Journey beginning in which men are invited as practice partners for the women. What journey do we men want to go on? How about discovering our own heart food? How about learning to source intimacy and connection with each other? How about building competence in domains of love, feeling and creation?
The Men's Journey: Negotiating Intimacy is a growing up space. It's about finding your aliveness as a man, learning to relate from the heart, and dropping into brotherhood and out of resentments, hatred, manipulation, and little-boy-taking-revenge-on-women survival strategies. It is about leaving the Patriarchy and doing that together.
This is not a space for bullshitting ourselves as men about where we are. The results will be apparent. Each of us will be practicing in partnership with a woman who is going through the Archiarchal Women’s Journey. You will know when you are growing up because the partnership will fly.
How it works:
- You will either invite a woman to practice sourcing intimacy with with for the entire 8 weeks (she must join the Archiarchal Women’s Journey), or be paired up by the Spaceholders
- The partnerships will verbally and unreasonably commit to one another
- The women will practice setting the context for the relating, and both of you will learn and practice negotiating ongoingly how the interaction goes, what experiments and what agreements to create, so that you go on different intimacy adventures.
- The relating will be done via video, or in person, at least 3 times a week;
- You will practice being a Vacuum Yes to your partner; making offers for intimacy; getting and giving real feedback while remaining in connection; relating from your Upperworld and Feelings with high levels of Dignity; and perhaps have the chance to practice repairing the connection, regaining Dignity and Intimacy.
With the other men, you will practice
- Distinguishing your reactivity from your true impulses
- Learning to feel
- Going through EHPs
- Connecting with your own source of aliveness rather than feeding on a woman’s
- How to hold an extraordinary context for relating
