LOCATION
Online via Zoom
The Men’s Study Group is dedicated to intelligent exploration and diligent practice as it applies to engaging in the world. Informed by Steve and Michaela’s approach to Men’s Work, this group honors the development process and empowers each man to stand on his own two feet as a practitioner.
In this intense, highly personalized setting you will receive one-on-one attention, group support and homework assignments. We will meet on Zoom four times within a 9-month period, with assignments and tailored support.
Between meetings you will engage in self-practice and personal exploration supported by an online platform. There will be additional connection via a dedicated Facebook group.
You will explore pathways that not only reveal and clarify the nature of your interior structures, but also equip you to practically apply these learnings in your life, work, and relationships.
The focus of this group is to obtain a working knowledge of key practices that acquaint yourself with your mind, body, sexuality, relationship, and life navigation.
The emphasis is on acquiring and integrating practical skill, and does not rely on peak state experiences or aspirational ideology.
Real skill acquisition involves consistent practice, and you will be guided in both how to establish a personal practice and how to organize your time for maximum effectiveness. This starts at a very manageable minimum and is scale-able depending on your available time and energy.
Whether you’re a beginner or already have experience, this disciplined and creative approach to practice is highly valuable and honed from both Steve and Michaela’s decades of training and their years of work with high performing individuals.
The meetings will involve specially designed experiences to facilitate deep exploration, as well as technique instruction, lectures, and Q&A.
Between the meetings you will implement homework that progressively installs the core skills in your body and mind.
By the end of the year you will have:

In addition to the immersive learning you will have the chance to connect with like-minded women from all across the globe, which will add richness and a depth of community.
