Testimonials: Response to Stirred, not Shaken“David's workshop material, delivery and Leadership has helped me transform my life. Until David came along I only had limited and superficial relationships with the men in my life. Now after participating in his workshops I feel a new sense of possibility inside those relationships; I have a sense of freedom to express myself and know I am supported. I now find that I am profoundly related to men, whereas before there was distance and a false pretense as to how 'it had to be' when communicating with men. This has inspired me and given me hope that our communities can change into peaceful and progressive environments. .” "A MUST OF THINGS TO DO IN LIFE. This course gave direction and how to find it with the guidance from communal friends. I will define and live my own definition of manhood.” "It's too hard and lonely to be a man on my own. This event gave me and others the opportunity to experience the power of connection and motivation to keep that connection going." "A time to gather, a time to think “Since Stirred, not Shaken I have had a number of comments from family members saying that I have changed for the better. Hard to imagine that a one day event could have such an effect, but it has. I have gained a better appreciation for the importance of my role and it has made me more confident, patient and a better listener.” "Stirred not Shaken is an experience that brings men together to experience the power we have when we have when we put our guard down and be real. I am inspired by how different men have shown up here, and reminded to show up how I really am without fear. It is a chance to open up and let go of all the bullshit. Refreshing." “A fun-filled day of intensive introspection, balanced by the harmony of cerebral and physical activities. Men from all walks of life and varied backgrounds shared unique experiences under the thoughtful and experienced direction of David. I whole heartedly endorse and encourage others to share in this unique experience of kindred spirit.” “I would tell other men that it is something they should experience if they want to know what it feels like to be accepted, affirmed, respected, and allowed to be as they are and to know what it's like to feel like part of a brotherhood.” "This event was an opportunity for men's goodness, generosity, and love for each other to shine through." “Men are beautiful. They deserve respect. I am a perfect man and get to choose exactly what this is.” "You will learn things about yourself that you didn't know were there. You will also feel strengthened when you face the world." |
