New Moon Men's Gathering ~ Honoring & Celebrating the Masculine

~ Join Stephen Gilmour and Giselle Gilliard for a day of Reflection, Exploration & Connection! Honoring & Celebrating the Masculine ~

Dyads:
A dyad is something that consists of two elements or parts.
Deepening your curiosity & connection with another through communication. Expanding our ability to hold space, listen, receive and understand with an open heart.

Nervous System Release:
Relieve stress, tension and pain from your body, gently and easily.
This is a healing process that will release the muscle known as the Psoas, which is known as a "sacred muscle" and where stress and trauma is generally held in the body. You will learn about how the health of this important muscle affects all areas of your life.

Breathwork:
Meet yourself in new ways. This is an opportunity to engage the incredible clarifying and healing power of your primary life force, breath. Explore the energetic continuum of your body, beliefs, emotions, and non-physical realms. Detoxify, rejuvenate, energize, release, express, integrate, clarify, and heal.
Nūma Breathwork is a transformational synthesis of conscious connected breathwork, somatic explorations and sound healing, an inquiry that supports you in clearing energy within the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies. This dynamic practice can catalyze spontaneous insights and non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is an insightful dive into the continuum of human experience and a potent portal into the numinous.

Acknowledgements:
Practice offering and receiving acknowledgement & appreciation within this powerful practice.

Drumming, Song & Movement:
Celebration & Expression around the fire with drum, songs and movement!

** No previous experience is required.

Stephen Gilmour
Stephen was first introduced to the idea of honouring the masculine as a young father in the early 90’s through the writings of Robert Bly in “Iron John” and Sam Keen in “Fire in the Belly”.
Many hours were spent, and much wood burned around campfires with men since those early days and since wandering through much self-help, quite a bit of Landmark, a deep dive into Buddhism, many a drum circle and an introductory taste of breathwork, Stephen is excited and honoured to be gathering again with men.
