THE PRESENT MAN PROJECT
Embodiment. Connection. Depth.
Fall 2025
Tuesday evenings in September (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th) 6:30-9pm
Grand Finale Weekend Workshop October 4 & 5th
Limited to 8 participants
The Present Man Project is a limited group series for men who are ready to engage in honest, embodied inner work.
Through somatic practices, breathwork, and honest dialogue, you will take part in exercises that stretch you emotionally and relationally, opening the door to deeper self-awareness and heart-centered connection.
You will be supported in facing your fears, expanding your capacity, and stepping into your full power.
This is a space to strip away what is in the way and get free, to live with more presence, strength, and authenticity.
