Claim Your POWER - Men's Circle.

This is your time.

You know it's your time.

You have been putting it off for too long.

You have been putting yourself, your dreams and your desires off for as long as you know it.

You have been people pleasing your way through life until now.

You have been embodying the identity of 'Mr Nice Guy' and you are feeling frustrated with where you are at in life.

If you're in romantic relationship, your partner yearns for you to step up, to be the masculine leader within the relationship, to step into your POWER. There's an underlying craving and need for the real and authentic you to come forward (not the people pleaser and nice guy).

Your dreams, desires and goals are calling you. This is your time to express what you want out of life and announce what is no longer aligned anymore.

Your partner / potential partner, your (future) children, the world, they all need you, the REAL you.

Everything you ever desired is waiting for you, though you need to finally and unapologetically CLAIM IT! You need to get clear on what you stand for, what you'll fight for, what direction you're moving towards.

How much longer will you allow the parts of you that are scared and fearful to get in the way of what your true and authentic self. How much longer will you be ok with foregoing what you REALLY want out of life?

You are worthy. Be the man you were born to be.

This is the time to claim your power. Are you in?

What to expect:

Join a group of like-minded men for a night of stepping up as authentic powerhouses. A safe, masculine container for you to show up unapologetically authentic will be created where all of your parts are welcome. This includes any or all of your emotions that are present including sadness, frustration, anger, joy, excitement, nervousness, etc. Together all your parts will be witnessed and held in the brotherhood of a non-judgemental safe container.

On offer to walk away with…

~ Clarity on what is or isn’t aligned

~ Confidence to fully and authentically express yourself

~ Action steps for the next month ahead

~ A deep sense that your voice is worthy of being heard

~ A community of like-minded men who have your back

~ Feeling f*cking powerful as a man

About your facilitator - Melvin

Melvin is a Men’s Coach & Mentor and is devoted to helping men who have been people pleasing, lone-wolfing it and lacking purpose, to reclaim their POWER, take responsibility and step into the 2.0 version of themselves. He is the founder of Cold Water Vikings and he is a facilitator at The Gathering Of Men.

Testimonials:

"I attended the men's circle to connect with other men and challenge myself to be vulnerable and self aware. Melvin creates a safe space where he leads by example, slowing down, speaking his truth, and being present and respectful. The exercises were useful in identifying what I want and don't want in my life. Listening to others speak, and also sharing my own thoughts, made me feel more connected to the other participants, and less isolated in my problems. Would recommend to anyone who is currently trying to deal with the challenges of being a man in todays world on their own." - Thomas

"I attended this Men's Circle with an open mind and I'm glad I did. I found Melvin to be an excellent facilitator. He made every man in the room feel comfortable with his calm, yet strong demeanour and clear expertise in understanding the challenges many men face. The session was well balanced between some teachings and some interactions. By the end of it, the energy in the room was powerful and I certainly took a lot from the experience. Most importantly, I know I am not alone in my journey, and now feel part of a brotherhood!" - Gerard

"I attended the workshop for a new challenge and to get clarity about what I do and don’t want in my life. Since attending the workshop I’ve noticed that I have greater access to my emotional body, in particular anger. I can access this part of me which I typically shut down. Melvin has helped me with many things. In particular I always leave our interactions with greater levels of clarity about the direction of my life. He has a knack for getting me to commit to the actions in my life which I know I need to do but keep putting off. If you’re on the fence about attending a workshop that Melvins running I’d say 100% give it go. It’s important to show up and give it everything you’ve got so you can get the most out of the experience. " - Sam

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).

Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:15pm - 6:30pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 6:45pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.

Driving: Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Park direct on Chapel St (spots unmetered after 5pm) or in Anchor Place, the open-air parking lot in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You (unmetered after 4pm).

Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).

Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.
