Men's Work
"Shadow work.. is the path of the heart warrior..."
Carl Jung
Men's Circles
Focusing on men's mental health and emotional well-being, men's work offers an avenue for self-discovery, initiation, and understanding across past, present, and future realms. It provides an opportunity to release suppressed emotions, reconnect with the inner child and heart, and explore masculine archetypes for newfound insight and empowerment. By challenging outdated belief systems, men can reclaim control over their lives and learn how to authentically engage with the world and their relationships. With over 75% of suicides in the UK attributed to men, the significance of men's circles, retreats, and online communities cannot be overstated. The absence of rites of passage and masculine rituals exacerbates contemporary issues, highlighting the importance of reviving ancient traditions. Men's work offers a space for visibility, validation, and mutual respect, where wisdom and emotions can be shared among brothers with support and understanding. Personally, I attest to the transformative power of men's work, which has liberated me from the past and granted me a profound sense of purpose in supporting others on their journeys.
At Atman Wellness, our men's circles offer a space for brothers to come together either at a designated location or during a walk-and-talk session around a fire. The gathering begins with a cacao blessing and intention setting, followed by open discussions and music. Men are invited to bring any instruments to enhance the experience around the fire. These circles provide a safe environment for men to authentically express themselves, build confidence, and receive support and celebration from the brothers.

Men's Work & 1:1 sessions
Men's 1-1 sessions at Atman Wellness offer an alternative approach to delve into personal mental health and well-being, allowing exploration of deep-seated patterns and the release of stored emotions or traumas. Each session is tailored to the individual, either face to face or online via zoom, it is conducted in privacy and comfort ensuring confidentiality and a welcoming environment. Through techniques such as breathwork regulation, meditation, heartfelt communication, shamanic drumming, and somatic body movements, sessions aim to foster coherence between mind, body, and soul. As men's work and coaching gain traction, these sessions provide a space for truth-seeking and self-discovery, catering to those striving for personal growth and change.
