“Some men... are surprised to discover the paradox of strength - only the truly vulnerable possess the ability to love powerfully.”
Edmond Manning
Would the boy you once were be inspired by the man that you have become?

This 8-meeting study and process group for men will explore how we connect to other men - the opportunities and the challenges. In a world where competition and production are our primary ways of interacting and where vulnerability is seen as weakness and therefore dangerous, there are few models for authentic interaction between men. Yet many of us crave that contact. This group will explore how we connect with men experientially. That is, we will move toward that connection and notice the barriers. And we will look to climb those barriers and create the bonds we seek. This group will offer a pathway to discovering our masculine gifts. It will be a place of refuge, challenge and acceptance where members will engage with new ideas about relating to ourselves, our friends, families, partners, and our work in the world.
This group will be comprised of six to eight members and two leaders. All members will commit for the duration of the group. (It is understood that absences are unavoidable at times.) During the group, the leaders will offer experiential training on what is needed to develop and maintain an effective on-going, self-sustaining group. If after the completion of our work, there are enough interested members to do so, this group will be encouraged (with support and consultation from the group leaders as needed) to continue meeting on its own to maintain the connection created.
The group may do a small amount of reading each week to open up new areas for exploration of our full role in the world. We will explore mindfulness, and use this skill to explore barriers to true engagement with ourselves and our world.
The next group will take place in the fall of 2025 over 8 weeks.

While many of our circles use drumming as a doorway to our deeper states of consciousness and spirit, a variety of other kinds of sounds can accomplish the same purpose. Using his wide template of musical instruments, Jason will create a meditative soundscape to explore in. What new or different doorways may that open?

Fall Equinox Dance Online with Spirit Lab - We will celebrate the transition into a time of harvest and reflection. In Fall there can be a soft turning inward as the weather cools and we drop our leaves in preparation for the resting time of winter. Please join Mia and Jason (Spirit Lab) in a dancing celebration of the coming Fall.
From his home studio, Jason will create an hour-long flow of live music and sounds. The distinctive sound and feel of Spirit Lab is created with a rhythmic landscape of live, improvised, acoustic instrumentation that is intended to bring us closer to Spirit in our movement practice. We will maintain this intention in the online community space.

For centuries drumming has been used for healing and spiritual deepening practices. In partnership with the Austin Shamanic Community of Austin, Jason Traweek continues the shamanic journey tradition by offering medicine drumming and sounds (shakers, bowls, bells) for deep relaxation, internal exploration and healing. The hour-long session will move from quiet meditation into shamanic journey drumming, and then back again into integration.
