Awakening the Conscious Man Intensive

Step into a transformative journey with the Awakening the Conscious Man (ACM) Intensive. ACM invites you to set aside culturally imposed markers of ‘masculine success’ and delve deep into your inner world. It offers a unique opportunity to be truly seen, to find an authentic, clearer, more balanced sense of self.

Through a blend of group and individual work, and a range of consciousness-shifting practices you will access the underdeveloped psychic resources gifted to us by nature, and clearly see the protective sub-personalities that typically hinder your growth. The ACM program delivers practical strategies to live more authentically, connect more deeply, and experience greater joy.

Facilitated by David Mallard, President of Melbourne Men’s Group Inc., with the deeply experienced MMG leadership team, this program promises profound personal growth in a supportive, non-judgmental environment, helping you to journey through life in a better way.  Please note: The intensive is limited to 16 participants to ensure a personalised experience.

What men say about ACM:

Overview:

During the workshop some of the themes we will explore include:

♦ The context of our consumer culture, the ‘mania of modernity’ and ‘success’

♦ Within the context of the prevailing culture, contemporary masculinity including insights from ‘The Man Box’ research

♦ The Nature Based Map of the Human Psyche including the facets of psychological wholeness and sub-personalities.

♦ Deeply stored often ‘untended’ parts including grief and shame

♦ Meditation and deep imagination

♦ Altered states of consciousness, and the unspoken language of ritual

♦ The uplifting power of acknowledgment and appreciation, and lots, lots more!!
