Men's Meditation Academy
Men’s Meditation Academy® (MMA) teaches men how to meditate using practical + straightforward techniques in a male positive environment. Meditation for men has many benefits including maintaining a healthy sex drive, the ability to focus and reach goals as well as enhanced emotional intelligence. It also helps reduce stress, anxiety and aggressive behaviour.
Community of Progress for Men
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who “share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly”. Learn to navigate relationships, develop healthy boundaries + make good decisions with an expert. Check with your extended health insurance provider to find out if you are covered for Registered Clinical Counselling (RCC).
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
At a time when we have never been more isolated and disconnected, Kundalini Insight® (Ki) offers us a powerful antidote. This Tantric Dharma practice takes place inside our dōjō, a place of immersive learning and meditation. Ki 気 is the Japanese word for air; atmosphere; flavour; heart; mind; spirit; feelings; humor; an intention; will. Seekers thirsting for spiritual connection and real world integration can take refuge in this spiritual martial art.
