Finally! I have been looking for something like the Awakened Life Men's Group for such a long time! All I was able to find before this experience was a series of techniques, names, approaches which were great but at the same time so limited. The Awakened Life Project is something completely different. It is just Being. So simple and profound but so often there is so much resistance at the same time. Truly beautiful to discover profound connection with other men, to open our hearts because the only goal of everyone is to help each other to grow. In this context of trust and willingness to avoid nothing we can be vulnerable, get challenged in our beliefs, be supported and inquire and at the same time support and challenge others on the real topics that are limiting us from becoming an authentic man: patriarchy, selfishness, control, power, lust and so on. After only a short involvement this collective has already proven to be a life changing experience which I definitely recommend to any man who is sincerely looking to evolve as a human being.

At the Awakened Life Project we are endeavoring to manifest a new human culture that is based on the individual and collective awakening to our fundamental unity. When we trust each other so deeply, when we see ourselves in the eyes of the other, we can experience that, as expressions of pure Life, Spirit, Consciousness, there is ultimately no difference between us and this intuitive knowing also transcends our gender as men and women.
But when we get really interested in what it means to actually live an Awakened Life, which means to express that understanding through the relative vehicle of our individuality, then we also want to embrace our gendered polarity and all the complexity that implies. We want to explore all the ways in which men and women are biologically, psychologically and culturally conditioned. Why? So that we can free ourselves from the habits and patterns that keep us locked in repetitive cycles of suffering and conflict, and discover what an authentic, awakened expression of our gendered embodiment might be.
So what is a deeply liberated, evolutionary expression of manhood in the 21st century? The Awakened Life Men's Group is a group of men led by their Spiritual Teacher Pete Bampton who come together to participate in this adventure of inquiry, discovery, transformation and profound spiritual brotherhood.
