MORE OF YOU-An Embodied Workshop for Men

Be here. Back yourself. Be seen.

Less second-guessing. Less holding back. More of you.

You can be confident in some areas of your life and still find yourself second-guessing in others.

Holding back what you really think.

Waiting instead of acting.

Overthinking what to say.

Not wanting to get it wrong.

Not wanting to come across as too much, too controlling, too vulnerable......or not enough.

And sometimes, without even realising it, you stop bringing all of yourself into the room.

More of You is a half-day embodied workshop for men designed to change that.

Not by teaching you how to look confident.

By giving you an opportunity to experience what it feels like to be more grounded, present and solid in yourself.

This isn't another workshop where you sit around talking about yourself.

(This event will be limited to 12 Men)

We'll work through the body.

Through a carefully designed series of practical, embodied experiences, you'll explore regulation, attention, presence, connection, self-trust and what happens when you stop trying to get it right and start trusting yourself.

You'll practise noticing what's actually happening inside you.

You'll explore what changes when you give someone your full presence....and when you take it away.

You'll experience what it feels like to reach, respond, connect and allow yourself to be met.

And you'll explore the difference between leading and controlling....learning to move, choose and act without needing to know that you'll get it right.

Because confidence isn't having no doubt.

It's being able to back yourself even when you don't know exactly what happens next.

Who is this for?

This is for men who want to feel more solid in themselves and more comfortable in how they show up.

You might recognise that you:

spend too much time in your head or second-guessing yourself

hold back rather than risk getting something wrong

find it difficult to know what you want....or act on it when you do

want to feel more confident without putting on an act

want to be more present in dating, relationships, work or everyday life

know there's more of you in there than you're currently allowing people to experience.

You don't need any experience with embodiment, men's work or personal development.

You just need to be willing to participate.

What to Bring

Come dressed in comfortable clothes you can move easily in.

Please bring with you:

Black pants or black jeans

A plain, well-fitting black T-shirt with no logos or graphics

(Please bring these with you .....you don’t need to arrive wearing them.)

A cushion, meditation cushion or something comfortable to sit on

A water bottle

A notebook and pen, if you’d like to take notes

There’s nothing you need to prepare beforehand.

Just come as you are.

What you'll walk away with

This isn't about becoming a different man.

It's about having greater access to the man who's already there.

You'll leave with practical ways to get out of your head and back into your body, a greater awareness of how you respond under pressure, and an experience of what it feels like to hold your ground, trust yourself and stay present with another person.

And perhaps most importantly, an opportunity to see yourself differently.

Because during this experience, something else will be happening.

Something of what you discover in yourself will be captured.

Not a performance.

Not the version of you that knows how to pose for a camera.

You.

More present.

More accessible.

More of you.

You will also receive a digital copy of one of the images captured on the day to keep and treasure forever, valued at $149.

This probably isn't for you if...

You're looking for a lecture, a networking event or a workshop you can sit quietly at the back of and observe.

This is experiential.

Nothing is about forcing disclosure or making you perform vulnerability, but you will be invited to participate, experiment, notice and experience.

We'll create the conditions.

You decide how far you step in.

This is a Trauma-informed workshop, so consent and agency will be discussed and implemented.

Your Guides

Guided by Joelle Camille, Emotional Fitness Therapist and Coach, and Photographer Marina Morgan of SEEN, More of You brings together embodied work and photography in a unique, first of it's kind, experience designed specifically for men.

Come as you are.

You don't need to be more confident first.

You don't need to know what you're doing.

And you definitely don't need to be good in front of a camera.

That's rather the point.
