EMOTIONAL MASTERY
A 10-WEEK LIVE VIRTUAL TRAINING FOR MEN
BEGINS: MARCH 5, 2024
"Know Thyself" is the foundation of all wisdom
and remains the most essential meta-skill of modern life.
THE TRAINING
WEEK 1 - SELF-CONFRONTATION
To get where we’re going we must first face and accept where we are. No more rationalizing. It’s time to get real about the state of your life. Health. Money. Relationships. Purpose.
WEEK 2 - UNDERSTANDING YOUR PROGRAMING 1
We are the product of our environment. I’ll break down the mechanism of how you were programmed. This is the beginning of self-knowledge.
WEEK 3 - UNDERSTANDING YOUR PROGRAMING 2 (UNCONSCIOUS BELIEFS)
Your beliefs create your reality.
WEEK 4 - FACING THE SHADOW - WHY YOUR SELF-SABOTAGE
There’s a devil inside all of us. It’s the source of out most self-destricivte impulses.
WEEK 5 - MONEY
Money making strategies are great, but it’s your beliefs around money that determine your financial success. In this lesson, we’ll get the root of your relationship with money and how to make the internal change to manifest abundance.
WEEK 6 - RELATIONSHIPS, SEX, & POLARITY
WEEK 7 - THE FATHER
WEEK 9 - MANIFESTATION
WEEK 10 - THE PRACTICE
HOW IT WORKS
• We’ll meet every Tuesday at 7pm CT for 90 minutes starting March 5, 2024. I’ll do an hour of teaching and then 30 minutes of Q&A.
• Sessions will be recorded, so if you miss or can’t make it live, you will have access to the recording.
• There will be homework assignments in between lessons, both journal prompts and actions steps. The application of this knowledge is priority.
• There will be a text group for accountability and questions. Each man will be asked to commit to habit change during the duration of the course. You’ll be checking in daily with your progress.
"I've known David for a decade, and working with him has impacted my life immensely. He is kind and compassionate, but he will also challenge you to heal and grow. Working with him is transformational AND enjoyable. Great healers always seem to have a light touch when working with profound life experiences. David does this so beautifully."

DARIUS BASHER describes his experience at Dave's Men's Workshop on his "Heart To Mouth" Podcast.
“I have not found many places to really explore a powerful masculine flow, but working with Dave has allowed me to do that. I can drop in to uncomfortable feelings and find out what my deepest callings are and where my happiness is in the world. I recommend him whole-heartedly, and I think his ability to navigate group dynamics and work with the body are highly developed.”

MY INTENTION AND PHILOSOPHY
I serve as a guide for people to discover and connect to their deepest gifts.
I help uncover the false assumptions and limiting beliefs that keep us from understanding and claiming our full power.
I work to confront and integrate the shadow, the hidden part of us that wants to withdraw from life, stay separate, judge, and hate, with the awareness that these self-destructive impulses are protecting our deepest vulnerability.
I believe in the collective wisdom of groups and the healing power of relationships and community.
My workshops are co-creations. I encourage participants to not hold back, to speak their truth, and to risk expressing everything inside them.
I teach empowerment through self-responsibility. This means letting go of blame and taking ownership of our feelings, reactions, and circumstances.
I believe we are here to serve life, to support the evolutionary process, and that our fulfillment comes from feeling we are a part of, and contributing to, the growth of the whole.

WHY MEN'S WORK?
For generations, men's role in the culture was clear and well defined: lead, support, provide and protect.
But as society has changed, and gender roles have undergone a revolution, many men feel confused and uncertain about their place in the world.
Masculinity, once defined by nobility, strength, courage, and perseverance, has come under attack.
In response, we’re being told we must change. We need to be softer, gentler, less aggressive, and more in touch with our feelings.
Yet at the same time, the challenge to "man-up" and the pressure to succeed in a fiercely competitive world is as strong as ever.
These mixed messages, and a generation of boys raised without strong role models, have left men in a crisis. We're falling behind at every level of education. There's an epidemic of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and pornography. Suicide rates are at disturbing levels. Too many men are living aimlessly without purpose or meaning, feeling lost, isolated, lonely, and disembodied.
Now more than ever, men need brotherhood, support, and accountability. And places to unburden our shame, feel our pain, express our fear, and reclaim the power and goodness of our true masculine essence.
The anger and frustration in the culture is a call for us to stand up and show up in a new way.
Powerful men and healthy masculinity are essential to a balanced, thriving, and peaceful society.
This "new masculine" is not a repudiation or denial of our ancestral traditions, but an integration of old and new: strong, wise, loving, tender, fierce, powerful, and creative.
It's time, once again, for men to take responsibility for our lives, to align ourselves with our deepest truth and good intentions, and bring our gifts to the world in humility and service.
