WORKSHOP: THE DARK HORSE: INITIATION

Discovering a power no one saw coming.
Do you ever feel like life is constantly demanding more from you?
More responsibility.
More pressure.
More expectation about how a man should be.
You keep showing up.
You keep pushing forward.
But underneath it all you may feel stressed, worn down… or like somehow, you’re still not quite getting it right, not enough.
Many men silently carry this weight.
But what if beneath all that pressure there was something deeper within you?
A hidden reservoir of strength.
A grounded, primal energy that appears when life strips everything else away.
I call this The Dark Horse.
The Dark Horse is the part of you that rises when everything else collapses.
The quiet strength that keeps you standing when life goes to s**t!
The inner resource that no one sees coming - sometimes not even you.
The Dark Horse: Initiation is a workshop for men ready to reconnect with that power.
Through grounding practices, nervous system regulation, embodiment, and deep reflection, you’ll learn how to access the inner strength that allows you to:
• Stay calm and strong in the uncertainty
• Reconnect with your intuition and inner guidance
• Build resilience and emotional strength
• Awaken a deeper sense of aliveness
• Step into the unknown with a knowing of inner strength
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about rediscovering the strength that has always been within you.
Quietly powerful.
Grounded in yourself.
Ready for whatever life brings next.
If you feel like you’re in a moment of transition… this may be the initiation you didn’t know you needed.

ABOUT BEN
Ben Komisars, founder of Roar Impact Coaching.
His journey started with the awareness of the patterns of being withdrawn, disconnected. Seeing the impacts and costs of on his life!

In many social situations and in relationships he would put up a wall and cut off connection. The physical impacts were experiencing numbness and feeling of powerlessness. At that time, he made a decision to do whatever it takes and look for something that takes him so far out of his comfort zone, to break the cycle of the withdrawn pattern and gain a new experience of life! That first thing led to becoming an Or****ic Meditation Practitioner, then to ISTA retreats and many other personal growth courses and training including Warriors of Love program and the Coaching Institute.

Fast forward to now, “I am so grateful to myself for taking that first step, what my body can do now is incredible! My Purpose is to pass on my insights and learnings to other men to have a new experience of life.”

ANNOUNCING AWESOME FACILITATORs FOR IOM #24 - YIN & RICHARD!!
WORKSHOP: Healthy masculinity - Cultivating a deeper belonging
https://events.humanitix.com/iom24/tickets

A journey into masculinity through the lens of hidden bias and assumptions. Using prompts, movement and dialogue, this workshop will explore how to shift from a separated to a more connected state, fostering group wisdom that invites everyone to feel part of a shared experience.

ABOUT YIN
Professor Yin Paradies is an Aboriginal animist anarchist abolitionist activist spreading decolonial kinship from, and as part of, unceded Wurundjeri land in Woo-rite (Healesville), so-called Australia. Yin is committed to understanding and interrupting the devastating impacts of modern societies. He seeks meaningful mutuality of becoming and embodied relationality with all life through transformed ways of knowing, being and doing that are grounded in wisdom, humility, respect and generosity. Yin has been involved in men’s work for several years, including Menergy, Island of Men and as part of a Yarra Valley men’s circle.

ABOUT RICHARD
Human (On the exploration of healthy connection and collaboration) Richard has a hilarious collection of experiences. As a youth, he trained physically for psychic safety in martial arts. From regional Queensland, his journey took him to India, where he deepened his understanding of culture and spirit. In pursuit of direction, he studied acupuncture and herbal medicine, which mystically led him to care work and advocacy. In this role, he challenged his internal stereotype of what it meant to be a man through compassion, empathy, and supportive action. His deepest discovery of men's work emerged through the ManKind project and later the IoM Community. Richard is currently exploring his vision of eventually building his own house by working with skilled trades in construction. As an unfinished artistic project, His experiences have offered unexpected connections and a less trodden path of well-intended misadventures.

https://events.humanitix.com/iom24/tickets

A light and heartfelt merging with the land and nature; exploring and invoking the hidden relms of the fae, and our afinity with the inner child for authentic growth and community bulding.
