– AO Wise Man online intro 18 September (open to men and women):

We are all Life, then Human, then Man or Woman. Yet very few men realize this. Meanwhile, the world has largely been shaped by a combination of a limited and distorted image of manhood and the absence of feminine intelligence. Being a man is often seen externally as action‑ and manifestation‑power, but without knowing the intelligence that forms and charges true manhood. As a result, it easily becomes superficial and fearful doing, rather than a grounded state of being.

The body and mind of every man IS, in itself, a shining sword. But most men do not yet know their sword. Some believe they don’t have one because their father never passed it on. Others are still dependent on their mother or their partner, or on women in general. They feel ashamed and unworthy of carrying the sword.

Some men realize they have a sword, but put it away whenever they are around women. They position themselves as a father figure or as the safe, feminine man.

Many other men have a flashy, worldly sword that they use to run their business, to compete with friends, or to hunt women… in real life or in the virtual world. Few men realize not only that they have a sword, but that they are, in truth, the SWORD ITSELF.

All that is needed is someone who can show you how to unpack it! The sacred sword has the potential to cut and to kill, but its true purpose is to bless and to awaken.

Learn to know your inner sword so you can carry it with dignity and joy. Use it to shape the REAL world! Many men who followed Alchemy of the Wise Man with me over the past year testified afterwards that it changed their understanding and experience of manhood for life.

Because it is important that both men and women have access to this information, this introductory lecture—and also the first part of Alchemy of the Wise Man – online—is open to both men and women.

The annual live 2‑day training is open only to men who have attentively completed this first part.
