Words from the MELD Prime Men’s Retreat: Perfect Strangers Learn to Connect

What was it like for 30+ guys to gather for a weekend in Joshua Tree to learn somatic theory, connect their minds to their bodies, and open up to each other? Ramsey experienced the MELD Prime Men’s Retreat and got the comments of three additional men onsite towards the end of the event. Listen in on their raw reflections of expectations far exceeded, insights gained, and images of transformation glimpsed. MELD (Men’s Emotional Leadership Development) works with men in groups to understand the stress response, and to guide them through the Fight, Flight or Freeze physiological responses to completion so that they can move on effectively instead of being stuck in chronic states of alarm. In this episode, Ramsey shares some of MELD’s techniques, his own insights from the experience, and the meaning of his new Work Statement “I am an Anomaly.” A warning though: one of the men discusses the loss of his son, and that may be difficult for some listeners.
