My Heart Cracked Open... (In a Somatic Process with the Strozzi Institute)
This episode is a very personal story from a workshop I attended 6 weeks ago... During the workshop, I had an experience that broke me open in profound ways that have changed my life for the better. *(Important note below)* And I'm definitely still integrating what happened, but at this point I've spent enough time in integration to feel excited to share the story with you.**IMPORTANT NOTE: What I forgot to mention in the episode was that the experience was so strong for me, I had to spend the rest of that evening back at my AirB&B, going back and forth between laying down on the bed crying with emotional opening/release - and getting up to do intentional movement practice to feel everything fully and integrate. I didn't eat, I didn't distract myself with social media or tech... I just spent the evening & night solo - feeling, integrating and then went to sleep. It felt like the comedown of a profound psychedelic medicine journey... that's the best analogy I can come up with.If you're someone who's interested in personal transformation, and different ways that can happen, I think you'll really enjoy this episode.🔴 - You can also watch this episode on Youtube here.HAVE A QUESTION?I'm open to any questions about anything I shared in this episode (please ask me in a comment on this video). This work is absolutely fascinating to me... and I'm into discussing it with people who are also interested in the world of somatics & transformation.EPISODE TIMES & TOPICS:00:00 Somatics Explained02:53 The Strozzi institute (Where I'm Studying)04:39 Somatic Bodywork Explained06:45 The Story: My Heart-Opening Transformation23:45 Advanced Somatics Retreat Update (Rescheduled)27:40 Sex & Heart (My Biggest Challenge & Growth Areas)30:00 The Potential of Somatics & Movement in Men’s WorkWORK WITH ME:🔸 Liberate Your Lifeforce Retreat (August, 2025): 🔸 Orgasmic Mastery Course (September, 2025):🔸 FREE 7-Day Semen Retention ChallengeTHE STROZZI INSTITUTEIf you want to check them out, here are the courses I've taken with the Strozzi Institute:🔸 Embodied Transformation (April 2023)🔸 Embodied Leadership Pathway (Weekend 1 Only) (September 2024)🔸 Somatic Bodywork (April 2025)🔸 Somatics, Trauma & Resilience (June 2025)The upcoming training I'm taking with Strozzi:🔸 Somatic Coaching Training (October, 2025)*NOTE: Sadly I dropped out of the Embodied Leadership Pathway program because hurricane Helene hit my home in Asheville during the first weekend of the training, and the recovery effort was too intense and all-consuming to do the needed coursework.

From Boy to King: Mature Masculinity & Conscious Love - with Max Trombly
What if the reason you keep choosing the wrong partner… is a belief you picked up at five years old? Much of our adult life we're actually acting from unconscious patterns that shape who we’re drawn to, how we show up in relationship, and why many men feel stuck chasing chemistry instead of building conscious connection...
