Manawa Conscious Event Presents: Men's Heart
Shame can feel like armor—a shield we wear to protect ourselves from judgment, rejection, or failure.
While it might seem necessary at first, over time, this armor becomes heavy and isolating, keeping us disconnected from ourselves and others.
This 90-minute workshop is an invitation to recognise that armor, understand the stories it carries, and find the courage to let it go.
Together, we’ll explore how vulnerability—far from being a weakness—is a profound source of connection, strength, and freedom.
Through guided exercises, open sharing, and supportive practices, you’ll:
� Identify the weight of shame and its impact on your life.
� Begin to shed the stories that no longer serve you.
� Discover the strength in authenticity and vulnerability.
� Forge deeper connections with yourself and other men.
This is a safe and compassionate space to explore, connect, and heal.
Are you ready to drop the armor and step into your full power?
Let’s journey together toward a more authentic, heart-centered way of being.
Join us.
