The Need for Mens Brotherhood



The world believes in the survival of the fittest. Men are conditioned to man-up and become warriors as if they have to fight against each other and with life. They are told they need to be successful to be appreciated and recognized, provide for the family, rear children, be good at their jobs. If they are not able to do all this, then they are considered and treated as weak. For men, this dichotomy of toughness and weakness is a continuous part of their daily life....

Behind all the roles and responsibilities, men are humans too and feel emotions. They long to express their inner truth without being ridiculed, labelled, or judged. They want to be held compassionately in their authenticity and in the challenges they face on a day to day basis. More than anything in the world, men just want to be heard for who they are.
 
In a manly world, bonding and self-expression for men usually happen through drinking, sports, and success at work, leading to competition among men. Men are conditioned to compete to be the best. In this way, they ultimately distrust, fight, and fear each other.

Deep within their hearts, Men long to heal. Multiple things have caused them trauma. The suffering of men has its roots in the misunderstanding of their very role in the society they live in. From adverse childhood experiences to difficulties with their peers back in school/ college, challenges with women they wanted to love and be loved, unresolved issues with their mother or father/brother, domestic violence, and time away from kids and legal matters.
 
Facing this immense trauma and setback, most men have bottled up their feelings and created a feel-nothing world. Their self-expression has not been possible for years.
 
The prejudice that men cannot suffer leads to much invisible misery. Men involve themselves in sports, competition, addiction, or chasing success goals as a distraction. As a result, Men are more susceptible to mental health issues, depression, heart attacks, and suicide.
 
Men also have feelings that need to be acknowledged. It seems absurd and strange to point this out, but it's necessary and cannot be ignored or sidelined anymore. Men are sensitive creatures, just like women and any other gender.
 
Why is it that in our society, there is no place for expression of emotion for men?.
Why can't men be vulnerable and cry for the pain they go through?

Although men create armour around themselves to appear tough and warrior-like, inwardly, there's a tender and lonely self with a painful story waiting to be expressed, seen, and heard.
 
A place of authentic expression for men is hard to find in this world where their vulnerability, honesty, and heart can be felt and seen, leading to their healing.

A Brotherhood gives men the opportunity to share in a safe place and be held compassionately. They also see and recognize themselves in others sharing, breaking down the walls and building trust in themselves and others.
Brotherhoods are a necessity in a society centred on creating competition and silencing the vulnerable voice of men. 

When the Masculine essence within a man's heart is awakened, he can cultivate self-awareness, understand his life path, and come to terms with his past and accept his present. This leads to self-realization, acknowledging his part, reconciliation, reclamation, developing forgiveness for self and others, holding compassion, and healing for self, others and the world.

What will be the Experience Like:


In this sacred circle, we will create a trusted safe space where one can speak from our hearts and share both our joys and pains, where we can listen and receive empathically from our deeper and open hearts 

We will practice and reinforce some Sacred Masculine standards with responsibility, care and compassion. 

We will also practice several rituals and self-attunement practices that will enable us to open ourselves up to the experience of developing a wholesome self- presence. 

What can you expect :


The space will be a place for deeper conversations to cultivate a soulful relationship with ourselves, others, and life. In this reconnection with our inner and outer nature in presence of other men, we will find our own understanding, liberation, and embodiment of ourselves.

A typical Circle is for about 2 Hours on zoom or in person and involves. 

  • Setting the Space.
  • Arrival and Centering
  • Honoring Agreements
  • Check-in and Intention Sharing.
  • Open space for sharing and listening from the heart, offering empathy.
  • Practice of self attunement exercises.
  • Checkout.

What can you Harvest: 


Mencraft Sacred Circles offer a possibility for marking significant shifts for participants, to develop self-awareness and connect with their masculine energy to be in mindful presence and in greater service of the self, family, work and society. 

Mencraft is offered to invite men to let go of things that do not serve them through personal observation, listening and self inquiry. Develop a greater presence in mind, body, emotion and spirit towards a more authentic masculine presence.

On a more personal level, participants will identify the standards they wish to bring to their lives in terms of actions to help them be who they wish to be. And, most importantly, a community of brothers to belong to. 


Mencraft can be a space to learn how to serve the circle and create your own men circles if you wish to.


Sacred brotherhood circles are conducted twice a month for 2 hours per session. to be part of the circles apply at https://forms.gle/qcy1g8JEeEfJhMBu7

  • What is a Sacred Brotherhood

    The brotherhood is a sacred space for the divine masculine to be self realized within by gently letting go of all that which is it is not. This happens when men get together and connect with their inner presence in a circle. The Circle leads and  shows the way.  There will be Stewards who serve the circle. 

    • Its a sacred circle [for healing, growth, and unlocking your inner masculine]
    • Its space of stillness and listening to your heart and the heart of other men.
    • Its a space where men can show up in their authenticity. 
    • The space itself is the Tao / Spirit / Shiva [all solutions will appear by itself from the space]

    Why am I Serving the Circle.

    I had immensely benefited from men's initiation, self-discovery quests and nature-based esoteric practices in the vedic, shamanic and sufi traditions. It has transformed me as a person to find my truth, unique expression, and deep authenticity. The intention behind offering this mencraft journey is to share the gift I received from my masters and contribute to my own healing and joy by serving others' journeys of self-discovery and healing.

    Assumptions and Basic Premise for Mencraft Brotherhood Circle. 

    Every Human can only heal themselves; no one else can heal others. In other words, therapists, coaches, mentors and guides may help people, but primarily people only heal themselves. No one else can solve our fundamental life problems, and I am not intending to take such a task with mencraft, no one can. My ultimate intention with mencraft is to help you help yourself where you are responsible and accountable for yourself and ready to walk through the difficult path of self awareness, self realisation and self transformation.

    Everyone has the potential for vitality and wholesomeness, but for many of us these are hard to actualize. However, having the right learning and conducive environment and the right guide can bring us closer to materializing them.

    Nothing in mencraft brotherhood is intended to be a substitute for professional psychological, psychiatric or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment in any form.
