Quotes from Men who have worked with Curtis in Men’s Group:

“In this unique space of conscious men I get the sense that my own treasures lie deep below, leading to riches I can not fully comprehend in terms of the possibilities from here.” ~ Ryan, Corporate Trainer and Facilitator

“Where else can you find such a safe container for feeling all the power, fear, rage and love a man can experience, and then integrating it into your life?” ~ anonymous

“What I’ve discovered is that there is a great, and discerning power that can come from a place that is designed for ritual ; allowing certain secretive, deeply-personal-feeling emotions and ideas to arise while seated within a group of men invites such Big Things as– shame, guilt, fear, violence and weakness into the room — and to experience the difficulties and traps of these expressions, while being attended to, encouraged, and challenged expands the sense of what is possible —

From this space, and out into the world, I can say that I feel more comfortable engaging in difficult, and confrontational situations; less afraid of losing my footing, and more confident that the energies at play, are just that; at play; & that the onus is on “me” to keep one hand on the spectacle and one close to heart — feeling the play between, playing with it, and it’s uncertainties.” ~ Anonymous, artist

“Men’s group taught me to not be afraid of my shadow, but to get to know it better, I’ve learned about redemption and rehabilitation. I’ve learned to accept my ignorance and have the courage to educate it. I’ve learned to trust my desire and willingness to change. Most of all I’ve learned to have my mind trust my heart.” ~ Jiro, Painter writer, photographer, “Jack of All Trades is grossly underrated.”

“Mens Group is one of the most powerful transformative environments I have ever been in. I am a better Father, Son, Partner, and Man.” ~ anonymous
