Frequently Asked Questions

Men need men, just as men need women.

In our experience a unique conversation occurs when men find themselves in a safe container with other men.

We also believe that cross generational conversations is the most powerful way to interact. As such there is a broad spread of ages from 18 to 80.

Men doing the course must be up for a rigorous conversation and doing the various practises required as part of effective completion

We have chosen a price point for the Shift courses that are easily accessable for men. 

Most courses work out to $100 per two hour session and a total of $400 for the course (ex gst) 

Payment is requested up front but payment plans can be set up on request  

Men who are participating in the Practise groups have an opportunity to enrol in the course under our Pillars Academy Program and as such can be sponsored to do the ongoing work. 

When an online environment is set up appropriately the impact can be as powerful as connecting in an in the flesh environment. 

The ability to see and interact with others and the increasing improvements in online technologies make this environment perfect for the Shift. 

The Three advantages of being online: 

Your own space: You can be in your own home or designated space and provided it is set up correctly your Shyift experience will be epic.

Easier to get there and therefore commit: No need to get in a car, drive, find a park and everything else associated with those logisitcs. Simply enter your designated online space a couple of minutes before the start time 

not bound by geography: Being able to authentically connect is becoming more and more important in this day and age. While we are connecting on screen we are still connecting in a deep way. And we can see each other and even feel into one anothers energy if the container has been set up correctly. 

Some men are concerned that because they spend time on screens during the day that they are not up for more screen time. The Shift conversations are completely different conversations an as such are empowering and energising and feel completely different to a standard online meeting. 

We are not aligned with or linked to any movement, religion or organisation.

In the foundations course we also do not adhere to any specific meditation or mindfulness practise.

You could for example replace the meditation with a journaling practise.

You could also do the course with a mediation App if you like

What we guid and are experts at is prioritisation, consistency and consiostent practise.

So the program is really about understanding what we mean by meditation as a pillar practise and then implementing it

All our courses are delivered in a practical, accessible, mainstream way and focuses specifically on the here and now and do not delve into the spiritual or enlightenment realms. 

We are just concerned with being effective human beings in the here and now.  

We offer all our courses in a a one on one format for people who prefer that.

The exception to this, to some extent, is the mens circle course as a significant component of the course focuses on the interactions between the men in the group.

For anyone interested in understanding the mechanics of circle a one on one program can be arranged.

We also offer both group and one on one opportunities under our Pillars umbrella. It is more of a corporate offering and caters to both men and women

All courses are run on a by demand basis.

To cultivate community and connection it is important that a minimum of 8 Men are enrolled for each course when it launches. 

Registering interest seems o be the best way that we have found to date to ensure that occurs. 

All courses are self contained.

There is no excpectation or requirement to do any additional courses.

The foundation is an introduction to our framework

The two pathways are the Circle and the Practise.

The idea is to get a basic grounding from the 4 week course and then from there, if called, join a Practise Group or Circle.

Circles are self led

Practise groups are part of a paid program and they fall under our Pillars banner.
