“This group means a lot to me, a place where I can just be and explore and share honestly without holding back. A place where I can meet with wonderful men and take advantage of the field we create together and dive deep into all kinds of things. When I started this group with Eddie, I didn’t expect it would be such a profound spiritual experience. I expected a coaching group of sorts. I’m enjoying the profoundly meditative spiritual quality that has been unfolding; we touch “it”. We also really look at our bullshit and defenses with clarity and from the feedback we give each other. We’ve gotten practical guidance in how to let our gifts and potential shine trough. I’m more able to embody those qualities, and in that way, the felt sense of being a virtuous man.
Eddie’s facilitation has such depth and a loving, sweet way to hold the space. It allows us to express ourselves in a playful, deep and focused way but not too serious. There’s always a giggle and kind of twinkle in his eyes. It’s always enjoyable. He’s flexible and very perceptive of the group energy. If he’s holding the torch for men to express what wants to come through them, then he’s a shining example of that!
Testimonials
“This group has become an essential support in my life and one that I look forward to every time. No matter what our stories are, I’m amazed at how much we have in common, there’s a commonality that reinforces my belief that humans are meant to be connected and share at this level. It has also reinforced my beliefs that we are stronger together and that we can learn from each other – that inspiration is present every time I leave group. I wish more men could have this kind of platform to support each other.
I really appreciate Eddie’s patience, presence and commitment to facilitating this men’s group. He’s an intuitive person who takes the groups temperature at all times, and gives us tools to see ourselves with, guiding us gently without force towards our own truth. He’s also got a great balance between leadership, insight and spirituality. I am thankful!”
“I love coming together with a group of men to share and be witnessed and feel the care and the courage amongst us. It keeps reminding me and encouraging me to create what I want to become. It helps keep this dialogue alive inside me so I don’t forget and slip back into the same old patterns over and over again.
I enjoy Eddie’s youthful quality, his curiosity, passion and dedication to help us discover who we are feels very alive. He inspires those qualities in me and shares many tools to help me grow and stay connected to what matters most to me.”
“This group has evolved through so much together and Eddie’s leadership has helped a lot in that. He’s been very patient with the group. We really struggled at times and he stayed with it and followed through. He’s persistent and dedicated, its very beautiful, I’m really touched by how he stayed with it. The honesty built something safe over time. His capacity for silence and a meditative space really helped us get to a special place together and his insightful questions have been important help in our personal exploration. His knowledge of essence and personality has really helped lead us to new spiritual depth. We go quicker and quicker to an essential place. Its all so wonderful and I am very happy to be a part of this group.”
