WELCOME TO SHIVA SHIFT
In the modern world, many fathers find themselves grappling with profound challenges.
Fatherhood comes with big changes on many levels - personally, emotionally, and relationship-wise. The dynamics in the partnership with the other half might develop in a way that is overwhelming for both sides if neither addressed properly nor processed mindfully.
However, many fathers also face a situation where they unexpectedly find themselves living in some kind of separation from their children. In conclusion, they often face the heartache of not seeing them as often as they wish. This separation can lead to a cascade of struggles—mental, emotional, and psychological. The weight of these burdens can feel overwhelming, leaving many fathers feeling powerless and adrift.
AWAKEN THE MASCULINE
This nine-week course is a sanctuary as well as a transformative journey for those fathers in the safety of their homes.
During the two months, the holistic online program empowers fathers to rediscover their resilience and embrace a path of transformation.
It is designed to help struggling dads reclaim their inner strength amidst life's challenges and navigate through the storm of chronic stress, depression, and burnout.
Through ancient yogic techniques such as movement and breath, combined with shamanic tools and modern therapeutic practices such as NARM method, participants can cultivate emotional stability, mental clarity and physical strength.
