MĀNAVA Kava & Breathwork Experience for Men — An Introduction to the Work

Talofa brothers,

My name is Daniel Gaitau, as the founder of Mānava Breathwork and The Locker Room Barbershop, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our community. 

This event is for you if you know something needs to shift, but you’re not sure where to begin.

WHAT IS THE WORK?

For many of us, no one ever taught us how to look inward, how to process pain, to express what’s real, or even be still long enough to hear ourselves. The work is the journey back to who you were before all of the social conditioning, stories, beliefs and lessons you learned that hold you back.

For men who know it’s time to do the work, but don’t know where to start:

This is your invitation. 

To take the first step.

To get curious about the man behind the mask.

To start to feel what's been holding you back.

To start building the inner strength that shows up in real life, in how you lead, love, and live.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• A safe, respectful space for men

• A traditional Kava circle to settle and connect

• A simple introduction to breathwork

• A chance to express what’s real for you or just sit and listen

• Tools to help you start working on yourself without needing to have it all figured out

MENS KAVA CIRCLE

A space to sit shoulder-to-shoulder. Real talk and honest conversation.

Kava is a traditional Pacific drink that brings men together. No alcohol, no fluff.

Just good men, in good company.

*Known to calm the mind and ease anxiety.

BREATHWORK EXPERIENCE

Breathwork has an umbrella of benefits and is a powerful tool to shift you out of your head and into your body.
You will be guided through a series of effective breathing techniques designed to help you release stress, pressure, and whatever else you’ve been carrying.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT FIXING OR BEING "FIXED"
THIS ISN'T ABOUT BEING PERFECT
THIS IS ABOUT BECOMING MORE OF WHO YOU ALREADY ARE. UNDERNEATH THE ARMOUR, THE ROLES, AND THE SILENCE.
