Important Preparation for Calls

All calls are at 11am CST to 1pm CST - please use the calendar link above to add them to your calendar. These calls are required unless you have a specific situation that you have already communicated with us. If you are unable to attend a call, please give our team 24 hours notice prior to our calls so that we can design our small group practices according to the number of men. No-call-no-shows can result in disqualification of the program. Our intention is that all men complete this program strong from start to finish, all in and present.

Please prepare to be in a private space free of distractions where you can fully participate on the calls. We ask that you join the call from a computer or laptop instead of a phone or ipad.

Calls will begin at 11am CST Sharp.

Please arrive 10 mins early and join the waiting room to settle into your space and be prepared for practice.

We recommend giving yourself 5-10 minutes after the call ends to integrate before jumping into your next meetings or daily to-dos.

The calls will be held on zoom - As you arrive for calls, please be muted with your camera on.

You will be required to be on camera. If you cannot be on camera, please let our team know.

Please make sure you are familiar with the platform. You will use the reactions button to raise your hand for Q&As and if you want to ask a question (We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you ask questions!) we ask that you be on camera!

The structure of the calls will always begin with a physical practice of breath and/or movement. You can do this seated at a desk or on a meditation cushion. Make sure you have room to move around, sit and stand. Please be properly lit so we can see you.

If there are deeper practices that requires a different set up, we will give you notice ahead of time!

As a way to anchor into grounded presence, we ask that you be seated in a comfortable position, not laying on a bed or relaxed on a couch.

The calls will have a teaching component, space for Q&A, and different exercises that may break you into small groups. Something to consider for these calls: You get out what you put it - please participate, ask questions, and bring what’s alive for you as other men will also benefit from your shares.

Communication
