So I mentioned “unmasking masculinity”, what do I mean by that?

In this context, “unmasking” refers to the process of revealing your true self, without pretense or societal expectations. It’s shedding the “masks” or personas that people, in this case men, often feel compelled to wear to fit into societal norms, especially those around masculinity.

These masks can hide genuine feelings, vulnerabilities, and needs. So, “unmasking” is about encouraging authenticity, openness, and honesty, and allowing one’s real self to be seen and understood by others.

It’s about being true to yourself, embracing vulnerability, and breaking away from traditional stereotypes of masculinity that can sometimes restrict emotional expression.

In this program, unmasking can involve activities that encourage self-reflection, self-awareness, and open discussions about fears, dreams, struggles, and successes. Wherever you want the conversation to go.

This work can lead to a sense of liberation and authenticity in expressing your true self.

• It’s a safe space for you and the other gentlemen to be honest about what you’re usually afraid to talk about. The stuff when you were a kid that still leaves you feeling like you aren’t “good enough”. 
   
• You’ll get to experience what it’s like when vulnerability is encouraged, and valued as a sign of strength.
   
• You’ll get to discover what your needs are, needs like being seen, heard, understood, valued and learn the skills and confidence to ask for what you need.
   
• You’ll learn how to be more kind to yourself. In your thoughts and in your habits. Self-compassion is a powerful skill that can give your inner-critic laryngitis. 
   
• You’ll learn how to become a much more skilled communicator with everyone in your life. You can experience fewer misunderstandings, hurt feelings and lengthy apologies.

Bottom line: You’re going to learn how to make your life and relationships even better. Because you’ll have less emotional armor keeping it at bay.
