An Invitation to Dialogue this Summer
We're hosting four free Resonant Man online circles in June, July and August.
In the above dialogue with Matthew and Jacob, Mahon McCann PhD, podcaster, fighting coach, and creator of Wisdom Dojo, brings his insights into the development of young men and the meaning crisis to the Resonant Man Dialogues series. For previous episodes please visit Jacob’s SENSESPACE podcast.
Resonant World #91
A few weeks ago, Jacob Kishere and I wrote about our new men’s initiative, The Resonant Man.
Our approach is deeply rooted in my studies with the facilitator Thomas Hübl and team, and Jacob’s practice of Dialogos, a form of transformational dialogue pioneered by the physicist David Bohm.
We had initially invited a group of men to enrol for a dedicated eight-week journey, starting this Sunday, June 9.
However, we’ve concluded that it makes more sense at this stage to offer three stand-alone online men’s circles over the summer, and one mixed circle open to men and women.
The four sessions are designed to build on each other, though we also welcome participants to drop in at any stage of the process.
There is no charge for any of these circles.
The Zoom sessions start at 1900 BST (1100 PST / 1400 EST) and last 90 minutes.
Sunday, June 23: Inviting Vision
Sunday, July 14: Speaking from our Deepest Listening
Sunday, July 21: Gifts and Wounds of our Ancestry
Sunday, August 4: Finding Integrity in Relationship (open to men and women)
The above podcast we recorded with Mahon McCann PhD, podcaster, fighting coach and creator of Wisdom Dojo, gives a flavour of the spirit of our offering.
We see these four summer sessions as foundational gatherings to support the development of the Resonant Man Initiative, and we’d love to see you there.
Yours in resonance,
Matthew & Jacob

Mahon McCann PhD, podcaster, fighting coach and creator of Wisdom Dojo brings his insights into the development of young men and the meaning crisis to the Resonant Man Dialogues series.
We explore the deep need and search for role models as men. We reflect on that moment when you realise that you can take full responsibility for your outcomes in life, while embracing spirituality, and finding a wisdom community and mentors to build something together.
We consider how men’s groups can support men in their individual purpose, as well as break out of being ‘islands’ and experience a collective ‘We-space’. Matthew speaks to the power of being seen in conquering our fears by other men as a key initiation, and the insufficiency of psychedelics alone for transformation relative to long-term projects rooted in accountability.
Jacob lays out his metamodern vision for The Resonant Man initiative: responding to a polarised critique of men, and forging a way to a world where men and women mutually support one another in coming into embodied, spiritual and emotional maturity.
Note from the Editor: A labour of love, Resonant World is written in the gaps between work I get paid to do, notably editing investigations at nonprofit climate news service DeSmog. It’s a huge boost when people become paid subscribers, and support of any amount boosts my mission to support the global community of practitioners engaged in supporting people to integrate individual, inter-generational and collective trauma. Thank you!
Love your passion for working with men Matthew. May your efforts be blessed so the men you work with can receive the blessing through you. Patrick
