A Note From The Founder Of Embodied Masculine ™
"Modern culture and society have unsupported, suppressed, distorted, and stifled the proper expression, evolution, and embodiment of natural masculine energies. It has made men feel disconnected from themselves, their counterparts, and Nature World.
Young men yearn for masculine presence, guidance, and mentorship from an early age. When there are no elders in the home or community to bring it to them, they have little choice but to seek it elsewhere. We end up with uninitiated men following other uninitiated men looking for answers in a society driven by values of materialism, fame, internalized misogyny, and unconscious contribution to colonial norms, feeding their egos and starving their souls. ....."

Workshop, Retreat & Men's Embodiment Circle Attendee
"Highly recommended! What an inspiring group of men, lead by an insightful and heart centered teacher. I came with an open mind, and left overflowing with love and admiration for myself, my fellow man, and the divine feminine. Boys, who “think” they are men, try to control by force...real men, lead by empowering others. I’m thankful someone like Amir is holding space for such teachings. Personal growth and a supportive environment, the world needs more men doing this kind of work...now, more than ever!
TRAINING IN RED
A man in the state of Red is symbolic of all the feelings of a typical teenage boy – uninhibited passion, rebellion, self-gratification, aggression, lust, desire for power. The red sash of this man is out of control and dangerous, yet he is a source of great vitality and power that only needs a channel of greater maturity to hone himself. Through training by elders in his community, he can hone this energy so it does not own him.
EMPOWERMENT IN WHITE
In white, he desires to save the world from all its ills. He longs for truth and justice. He wishes to be good and do good. He is an idealist. Yet, for all his good qualities, he is also naive. The man who embodies the white masculine energy doesn't have the awareness to notice that many of the ills he wants to save the world from are projections of his own unconscious traumas and desires. He goes on a crusade to save the world from that which he doesn't like in himself.
PURPOSE IN BLACK
A man in the state of black, however, "eats" his shadows and comes to a level of acceptance about his own flaws. This is where shadow work is not introduced, but digested by the masculine. There is a strong level of humanity, even humor, to the the man in the state of back. He surrenders control of his life to the acceptance of his limitations and the inevitability of death. He becomes trustworthy, powerful and compassionate.
