What does MM mean to you?
Perhaps I can best illustrate it with a metaphor: Imagine a pond, sometimes tranquil, other times rippling, concealed in profound green and a slight murkiness that hides the bottom. Standing on the shore, I face a choice: to remain dry, or to immerse myself neck-deep in the water - a conscious decision. With a powerful kick, my body propels, plunging me inside, and the joyous cry of my soul rises, my head reaching the surface once again. I catch my breath, my lungs clear, I stretch out far. As the water turns transparent and serene, the turbulence disappears, revealing my limbs as I stand firmly grounded, ready to pull myself back onto the shore with both hands, eager to dive in again. The sun emerges, casting its warm light.

I found motion, in touch with both companions and my own self. Are we here to release trauma, or rather to confront the challenges honestly, to sit with the difficulties instead of numbing the pain? Allowing realizations to surface, this time embracing instead of running away. Tears were flowing freely, embraced by others and myself. Delving into unexplored memories, I caught glimpses of formative events, worthy of processing and transformation.

How do I feel now? (after the group)
...Wonderful... Recharged, improved, motivated. A man worthy of respect and attention. With space, an individual from whom others can learn because he is unique. No less or more than others... I feel ready for what I want to accomplish. This in turn gives me doubts and headaches about how (as always), but this is somehow different. It feels like a surmountable obstacle now, which is definitely a challenge, but no longer a fear. I imagined it to be different, but it was much better than I expected. I expected more, or rather different, movement. But mentally it was much deeper than I expected and that is more valuable, especially now, here, for me. I didn't expect to go through such character development and to plumb such depths. There was no competition.. no masks needed, there was support. Seeing people express themselves after so much happening, fighting, laughing, moving. After the conversation on the last night, I felt for the first time ....in such quality and intensity when I walked back to my tent ... that I was a man of honour... I will never forget that walk, that feeling.

The gifts of knowing parts of my greatness, deep connection with some men. Listening to men sharing their struggle helps me get perspective on my own, as they are very similar. And feeling my own power. I'd love to bring the attitudes we had to my own relationship and spark more caring and conscious interactions. After the workshop I feel Powerful, more attuned to people and my body. I'll tell other men they'll discover powerful ways to connect to men and their own body. They'll get new perspectives and insight about how we operate and relate with each other.

More than that it exceeded my expectations, the qualities of attendees and of leading was unexpectedly high. It was quite contrary in regards of openness to what I was used in the last few years in such groups, either the mind or the body were closed, there both were opened and accessible.
