Curious about how CC started?
Conscious Conversations first came into this world as the Conscious Men’s Coalition.
The Conscious Men’s Coalition was an incredible experience and we’ve collectively learned so much over the past 6 months.
As I’ve experimented and taken these conversations to new levels, with new people, in new locations, it became clear.
The CMC group was imbalanced. Something was missing.
This new direction still aligns with the original mission: to help men heal, fight toxic masculinity, and thrive, but now, we’re coming at it from both sides.
Because the reality is: women struggle with toxic masculine tendencies, too.
As we come at this from both sides of the gender spectrum, the butterfly affect of our collective work will be amplified and maximized two-fold. That sounds promising to me!
Testimonials
“I am so glad I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and attended Kerstie’s Concious Men’s Coalition meeting in August. Both the organizer as well as the other participants made this an incredibly nurturing environment to talk about the stresses of being a man in today’s world.
Kerstie’s warm and caring personality and experienced background make her an ideal candidate to host such a meeting. Her leap of faith to organize a men’s meeting as a woman was richly rewarded by an incredibly diverse group of participants with an incredible arsenal of mastery of different stress-management techniques, experiences and world views.”
– Kai
“I was pleasantly surprised! Kerstie did a wonderful job of guiding a productive discussion and creating a space where people were encouraged to contribute.
For me personally – I typically do a fair amount of introspection, but this experience kind of takes it to the next level, in that people are open to hearing about your self reflection, and will actually give you insight and feedback from their own experiences and perspectives.
If nothing else – it’s worth it to just show up and be in the space to take a step back from the day-to-day to really think about and analyze your self. Definitely will attend the next gathering!“
