Just wanted to bring this to the community's attention - in the calendar tab, you'll notice that @Lion Carew is going to be hosting a breathwork call at 5 pm PST. We'll try to be on the ball and notice you in advance in the feed when we're doing other embodiment/practice calls - let us know if you'll make it

Episode 2 of the Showing Up Podcast with @Lion Carew and I is now out; You can check it out here; "In Episode 2 of SHOWING UP, we take a deep dive into the heart of one of the biggest struggles men face today—feeling adrift, unsure of who they truly are or what they’re meant to do. Many men are stuck in a cycle of living for others—waffling on their values, constantly influenced by the opinions of the world around them. They lose themselves in distractions, unable to set boundaries in relationships or take control of their own direction in life. But the real problem? They don’t know how to define who they are, or how to chart a course toward a life with purpose and meaning. This episode isn’t just a conversation about the problem. It’s about the how. How do you uncover your true sense of self? How do you define your own purpose, independent of what others expect of you? And most importantly, how do you anchor into that so deeply that you become your own compass, always pointing toward the "True North of Your Own Soul"? Knowing yourself means living with direction, clarity, and confidence. When you’re anchored in who you are, no distraction or external influence can knock you off course. This episode offers the insights and practices you need to start living more intentionally, with a purpose that fuels everything you do."

Sam here. I am a combat Army vet (satellite/radio comms) and the surviving spouse of a fallen soldier (suicide), a traveling nomad currently in Mexico, and a jack of many trades (dance fitness, math/English tutoring, programming, and astrology, to name a few) The black sheep in an estranged family and a lone wolf since early childhood, I acknowledge the need and my dislike of it for community. I joined as I know I need support to be the best version of myself and am exhausted of supporting individuals not committed to being their best. Continuing to heal from a multitude of traumas, I embody resilience, empathy, fortitude, perseverance, adaptability, and number of strengths I feel will benefit this community. A child-survivor of sexual assault introduced to porn early, I struggle with sexual cultivation. Having sustained several injuries and dealing with varying degrees of food aversions (oft trauma-related), I struggle with maintaining the mindset, discipline, and momentum needed for proper maintenance of my physical vessel (vs finding value in overextending it). Those in mind, I struggle with the discipline, self-worth, focus, and mindset needed not to betray/to love self. Conditioning includes finding value in things like being overly self-reliant, overworking, doing for others at expense of self. As a manifesting generator, I am having to find value in patience and slowing down.

Brothers, No one showed for the call today, so I decided to post what I got into for my Focus Flow Session. My aim was to amend a clause and add a clause to the Venue Rental Agreement I am creating for the Venue I will be renting for my retreat in Peru (Sacred Rhythms: Embodiment, Breathwork, and Plant Medicine Retreat). This has been completed and added to my notion board ✅ My next task was to continue working on Sacred Rhythms copy for the landing page. I worked with ChatGPT to create the following (which is all done ✅ ): - Hero Section (Introduction) - Retreat Overview - Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary - What’s Included - About the Facilitators - Testimonials (if available) - Call to Action (CTA) and Booking Details I ended my session with a little shake, some water and stepping on the grass outside!

Hey men, I have been working through the classroom materials. All great materials. I am applying these principles to my daily life. Also enjoy spending the 2 hours together, I feel the energy, just being together is a great bond.
