the art of Meditative Warriorship

An 8-Week Online Course for men

In this powerful container of men, you will learn the art of Meditative Warriorship. You will gain practices and tools to find peace and stability, work with your mind, establish a powerful presence, and learn to regulate your nervous system as you cultivate a fearless heart in the face of life’s challenges.

This group of men will call you into a deeper and more true sense of yourself, allowing you to see and be seen, love and be loved, challenge and be challenged, in service of greater consciousness, aliveness, and truth. 

WARNING :

Do not sign up for this course if you are interested in staying the same or going with business as usual. This course will challenge you to show up fully for yourself and other men. This course is for men who want to learn humility and vulnerability, and who long to deepen in the art of transforming and transcending fear-based ways of living. This course is for anyone who wants to engage their life FULLY. Ultimately, this course is about learning to be fearless and heart-centered, in a community of men who will support and challenge you to become the most authentic and powerful version of yourself. 

You can use a challenge to awaken you, or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. - Ekhart Tolle

About your instructor

James Frank is a certified Mindfulness Teacher (CMT-P) through the Engaged Mindfulness Institute and is currently in his final year of training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), which is a body-based therapeutic model for healing trauma and other stress disorders. 

He has been practicing meditation since 2010 when he sat his first silent retreat as a teenager. Since then, he has been avidly pursuing all things meditation and healing related. He has sat over 365 days’ worth of silent retreat and is passionate about bringing the power of meditation out into the world to kick ass and wake up. 

He has been engaged in Men’s Work since 2018 and has completed various trainings in group facilitation and communication through the ManKind Project, The Center for Nonviolence, The Relationship School, and Young Men Awake. He sits regularly in Men’s groups.

He believes in every human being’s potential to heal and transform and dedicates his life to helping people know that truth for themselves. 

When he isn’t freaking out about meditation, trauma-healing, and transformation, he can be found river-swimming, freestyle rapping, swinging a kettlebell, dancing like no one is watching, and spending time with his beloved family and friends. He does his best and makes a lot of mistakes in the process. Even though it can be scary and hard, he earnestly tries to live vulnerably from his heart.
