12-Week Online/Phone "MANS Webinar"
Starts Monday, Sept. 27
for Journey Into Manhood "Grads" Only
Introducing Major New PCC Resource:
Advance Copies of the Forthcoming
"MANS Workbook" by JiM Co-Creator David Matheson
|
|
It's PCC's biggest new program offering since Journey Beyond!
This MANS tele-group or webinar, called "A MANS Journey," is for you if you came away from Journey Into Manhood hungry for more -- more understanding, more challenge, more connection, more growth.
Over 12 weeks, psychotherapist and JiM co-creator David Matheson will lead you through a deeper exploration of Journey Into Manhood teachings and hands-on processes that closely track the 12 chapters of his new, soon-to-be-published MANS Workbook (cost of the workbook is included in the webinar fee).
The foundations of the workbook and webinar / tele-group are the MANS principles (Masculinity, Authenticity, Need Fulfillment, Surrender) that are taught on the JiM weekend -- in conjunction with the 4 masculine archetypes (Lover, Warrior, Magician, King) and the 4 core emotions (sadness, anger, fear, joy).
In "A MANS Journey," you'll explore, week by week, how elements of the 4 MANS principles, the 4 archetypes, and the 4 core emotions inter-relate and play out in your life. Using chapters from the workbook, you'll have "take-home" assignments that provide opportunities for you to further explore, anchor and apply what you are learning.
Monday Evenings,
8:30 to 10:30 pm US Eastern Time
(7:30 to 9:30 pm Central,
6:30 to 8:30 pm Mountain,
5:30 to 7:30 pm Pacific)
First session: Monday, September 27, 2010.
Final session: Monday, December 13, 2010
Cost: $360 for 12 weekly sessions (total of 24 hours of group teaching and processing) plus the complete MANS Workbook.
Fee may be paid in 3 monthly installments of $120
A MANS Weekend to Follow in Early 2011!
The "MANS Journey" experience will culminate in a 2-day weekend gathering, planned for March 2011 in Arizona, where you'll be invited to join with your brothers from the webinar / tele-group for a series of experiential processes that will further anchor what you learned and experienced over the 12 weeks.
(Cost of the MANS weekend is NOT included in the Webinar fee, and will be set at a later time.) |
Quotes from Men Who Participated in
a 10-Week "Beta" Version of the Workshop, Using the MANS Workbook |
From Brett:
"I had an amazing, life-changing experience with JiM, but after a few weeks of getting back into 'reality,' I felt like I was slipping back into my normal routine. I needed to know how to apply these concepts and techniques as well as the information I learned in my life.
"That's when the MANS Workshop and Workbook came into play. The workbook helped me understand a whole new dimension to my life, and how I could apply the things that I learned at JiM into my life. I learned many new concepts, as well.
"Attending JiM and using the workbook worked hand in hand. The workbook is a piece of gold that every man should utilize in their lives." |
From Dave J:
"The feelings and impressions that will come up while you're doing this workbook will bring you back to core emotions you experienced on the weekend. This has been a real learning opportunity for me and I am very grateful that there is this workbook and post-JIM training. What a blessing this will be to all men.
"This has given me the ability to look beyond my surface issues-to go deeper and look at things that I need to concentrate on in my daily journey.
"I encourage everyone to get a copy of this workbook and learn the principles that are taught there.
"It will help you to continue to change your life and bring you to a better point on your journey. |
From Tom:
"The MANS Workbook by David Matheson, along with the book King Warrior Magician Lover, was extremely helpful in shedding further understanding upon the concepts that were presented in the JiM weekend.
"I found that if I made time to study the workbook and spend time reflecting upon the writing exercises, significant understanding and healing occurred in my life.
"I am greatly indebted to David Matheson for his life-changing work in the creation of this manual. I would recommend it to anyone seeking to understand the sources of their same-sex attractions and wanting assistance in resolving them in healthy ways." |

 New! MANS Workbook from David Matheson and PCC
Participants in the new 12-week MANS Webinar will be among the first to use the soon-to-be-published MANS Workbook by psycho-therapist and JiM co-creator David Matheson, LPC.
The book is now in the final editing stages and will be more widely available to Journey Into Manhood graduates and others in early 2011.
Interview with Author David Matheson
Q: What's different about the MANS Workbook?
A: This workbook really moves beyond just looking at the problem of SSA. Instead, it focuses mostly on how to live life as a whole man.
Compared to other existing literature on overcoming unwanted SSA, this book is way out of the box. Rather than just revisiting all the same concepts others have written about for years, I've gone deep into the principles that enable men to live life successfully as a mature heterosexual man.
Its foundations are in the 4 principles of growth (masculinity, authenticity, need fulfillment and surrender) taught on the JiM weekend.
These principles are explained and clarified using the 4 masculine archetypes as described in the book King Warrior Magician Lover by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette.
The workbook helps men understand the links between the 4 principles, the 4 archetypes and the 4 core emotions-fear, anger, sadness and joy.
As the name implies, it is a workbook. It's not just something to read and forget about. It contains new perspectives and a lot of thought provoking questions to push you into deeper thinking and awareness.
Q: What else does it teach?
A: The workbook also integrates concepts I've developed or expanded on over the years including gender wholeness, masculine sufficiency, gender double binds and the false self.
It contains important teachings on subjects like shame, addiction and compulsions, counter-emotions and defenses, which are intended to help you identify and address problems you may have in those areas.
It also includes some assessment tools to help you see whether you might be battling issues other than SSA that may need to be addressed. And if that's not enough, it has 6 appendices loaded with resources.
Q: Who is it for?
A: It's for every JiM grad who is serious about making substantial and sustainable growth on his journey. It is especially for men who intend to do the Journey Beyond weekend because it was written with an eye toward preparing men for that weekend.
