Short on time? Here are the 60-second basics…
WHAT: A 4-part live radical experiential online course for men, designed to examine how you care for your self and soul at the most essential levels of mind, body, heart and being.
This course will challenge you to look deeply and compassionately at the fundamental stories you live by in each of those areas and how those stories shape who you are, the life choices you make and how you will co-create a generative interconnected world of the future.
Knowing that four weeks for such a comprehensive mission is unrealistic, our primary goal for this course is to inspire new ways of looking at your inner soul resources and catalyze new approaches to dealing with both the internal and external challenges you are facing in your life today. (For those interested and motivated to continue this work, this course will serve as an introduction to a Radical Soul Care 9 month Program.)
In the company of other supportive men you will explore the risks you may be willing to take NOW to transform your stories and implement realistic important radical changes in how you engage with yourself, your relationships, and the world.
By becoming witness to your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual storylines you will see more clearly how your personal stories relate in a very potent and meaningful ways to the social, political, religious, and ancestral world soul. With this evolving clarity you will find avenues for co-creating healing interconnections at all levels.
WHEN: Classes will take place on:

WHERE: Live online via Zoom, a free video conferencing software. All classes will be recorded and available for you to watch on replay for up to 1 year.
WHO: This course is for those of you who want to challenge yourself to take a radical look at your self care and learn simple and powerful holistic tools that will positively impact your life, your relationships with others, our society, and our planet. This course will be taught by Tom Daly, PhD, one of the founders of the Men’s Leadership Alliance. In this course Tom will be bringing his life-long experience working with men at the deepest soul levels.
WHY: At this time in history, and particularly in this country, the world needs men who can be honest with themselves and others, feel strength in their vulnerability and willingly take the risks both internally and externally to create a world that acknowledges our interconnectedness with all people and our beautiful earth. Taking this radical embodied stance, you will be of greater service to your own soul, your family, our communities, and the world.
COURSE FEE: $297.
Includes all course materials and a free 30-minute individual coaching session, with either Tom Daly, PhD.

Your combined relationship with your mind, your body, your heart and your spirit is your soul path. And the stories you live into about those fundamental relationships forms the root of your being and how you relate to and deal with your one precious life.
In other words, self-care is all about soul care.
The good news is that being clearly awake to and aware of those stories will significantly change your fundamental approach to life and give you a sense of freedom and peace that you might have never realized was possible and, in fact, have been unconscious of.
Why is real self and soul-care radical?
You are going to have to be radical to break out of the box of the old stories. Being radical gives you the amazing opportunity to free your soul while still in a body.
What is real self and soul- care?
Real self-care is beyond what you can currently imagine. Real self and soul-care encompasses all of you…..the physical, mental, emotional, relational, economic, political, and spiritual. This class will look at and support you in integrating all levels of you life.
Why don’t you really take care of your self?
None of us ever got training in self and soul care. In fact we were mostly trained how not to take care of ourselves so that we fit someone else’s mold. We were told we have to go it alone. We were told the really good and important things in life are scarce and we have to fight to get and maintain them instead of seeing the bounty and abundance that we can all share.
Why now?
Right here, right now is where your life happens. What better time could there be to really become the author of your life story. There isn’t much doubt that this is a time of challenge and opportunity for all of us at so many levels.
Transition to Transformation
Life is about transition and change. If you can stay awake during these times of personal and global transition you have the opportunity to transform yourself and your world in healthy ways.
Short Term to Life-Long
Your life is always going to be about competing interests. The world challenges you to radically care for yourself by coming back to what is most important to you at any given time in your life. Any issue that comes up is an opportunity to see from a more mindful, long-term perspective. What you do now and who your are now impacts everything going forward.
The Guru Is You – This is an inside job
The process of staying awake and being a radical creative man is an inside job. You aren’t going to be a free man on his purpose if you are following someone else’s playbook. We all have that personal guru/teacher within. When we can care for ourselves enough to slow down and listen, we can learn from that wise inner voice.
If you are a man who hears that deep call of your soul to creatively evolve
the way you think, feel, act and are in the world….
If you are willing the risk to committing to the big YES…. to personal authenticity and sovereignty
(and the many NO’s that will probably also require.)
If your answer is YES, please join us.
For those of you willing to explore that unknown territory, this course offers an opportunity.
During this course you will engage in experiential activities, including guided meditations, breath work, paired and small group sharing, and the 4 Gateways coaching model.
Your internal stories will come clear and be transformed into a new perspectives on life.
From this new perspective you can make more authentic connections, break unhealthy bonds, heal wounds, bless all that has come before to create new creative possibilities.
In doing this work you will be able to take the next steps toward living your life with a sense of freedom and peace, and find more joy, richness, satisfaction, and love for yourself at the being level.

Class 1: Getting Started – Self-Care – Mind & Clarity
Class Guide: Tom Daly
The course begins with an introduction to self-care and soul work with an emphasis on working with your mind and healthy thinking.
During this class you will be introduced to the basic tools that we will use throughout the course:
- Large group councils
- Guided meditations
- 4 Gateways Coaching
- Paired and small group sharing
You will also be introduced to the basic concepts that we will operate from throughout the course:
- Speaking from the heart vs. speaking from the story
- Inclusive awareness & unconditional acceptance
- Living in the realm of possibility
- Collective wisdom and normalization
In this class we will investigate our mental confusion, non-stop repetitive inner dialogue, and worries about the world and the future.
You will look at the stories (both true and false) you live by, how and why you created those stories and how you continue to protect those stories and identities for good reasons.
From that understanding you will use 4 inner wisdom allies (the 4 Gateways) to explore what changes you would be willing to make in those stories.
You will take the radical step of learning to own your projections and shadows and to use that energy in potent and generative ways. And you will see how your inner and outer worlds reflect one another perfectly and how you can move either direction for transformation.
This class will provide meditation and mindfulness tools for updating your inner operating system that will enhance the powers of your mind for increased clarity and generative visions for your life, your family, and your world.
Class 2: Self-Care – Body & Grounding
Class Guide: Tom Daly
In this class all the old patterns about being out of shape, eating unhealthy, poor quality foods and drinks, staying up all hours will be explored.
You will honor your body’s genetic wisdom and grounding in your local place…. the wonderful, wild, sacred cycles of your body and the earth.
You will explore how you breathe, hydrate, eat, move, and sleep supports your soul path …. and what you can do about it if your old patterns are no longer serving you.
Using the tools learned in the first class and other shamanic processes you will be invited to create a realistic and sustainable relationship with your body and the earth.
Class 3: Self-Care – Heart & Compassion
Class Guide: Tom Daly
In this class we will challenge the old dominator image of manhood and that real men don’t cry and can’t express the full range of human emotions.
You will discover the radical power of the heart to heal. You will come to understand that love is both the problem and the solution in relationships. Along those lines you will explore how your relationship with your parents and care givers impacts all your current relationships and how radical brotherhood supports your freedom to be you.
You will focus on looking for love in all the RIGHT places and how to deepen your compassion for yourself and others.
Within our supportive circle you will explore vulnerability as a super power we all have and how that power can be used in any conflict situation to connect and heal.
Class 4: Self-Care – Being & Blessing
Class Guide: Tom Daly
In this class we will address our lack of real connections and meaning both within us and in the world that we’ve tried to fill with a thousand and one distractions.
You will find your radical sovereignty…. your direct line to you current soul purpose and how you bring your unique genius and blessing to your family and the world.
You will find the gifts of connection with the ancestral realms as a powerful unseen support system.
Through radical ritual processes you will discover how your inner and outer worlds with all their diversity are a direct reflections of one another and you can move either way for healing and wholeness.
Together we will share the challenges and options of living more simply and lightly on this beautiful earth.
In this last class we will come full circle and see how our minds, bodies, and hearts can align in gratitude and blessing as the ultimate radical act of self and soul care.
