Steve James - The State And Complexity Of Masculinity

This was one hell of a conversation. Steve and I cover wide ground, but the central hub of our talk is the state of modern masculinity. What are men asking about? What are they rejecting? What are they loving, losing, and leaving behind? What are men choosing?

So yeah. Only light questions in this episode. Listen in for some brilliant insight from a brilliant guest.

Steve James travels internationally teaching somatic practices, meditation, as well as leading explorations in contemplative & relational realms.

Known for his direct, grounded approach and his inquiry-based ethos, he has extensive experience in elite athletic performance, contemplative and spiritual disciplines, the arts, extreme outdoor survival, and human behaviour.

Steve’s unique range of experiences and understanding of human behaviour, elite performance, spirituality, and interpersonal relationships is highly sought after by leading figures at the highest levels of the arts, entertainment, and business.

In his private client practice, he specialises in the unique interpersonal and strategic challenges faced by very successful and highly visible individuals. Ongoing clients include Oscar-winning actors, multi-Grammy-winning musicians, CEOs, and multi-billion dollar fund managers.

In addition to private client work and international public workshops, Steve designed the ground-breaking teacher training programs for Michaela Boehm Inc, including comprehensive training in the area of intimacy and relationships, coaching skills, and the original Non-Linear Movement Method®.

These programs have trained over 100 practitioners internationally. Graduates have applied the methods in psychotherapy practice, refugee counselling, sexual abuse counselling, as well as workshop and general life enhancement contexts.

Steve has taught at the Esalen Institute and 1440 Multiversity, is a regular speaker at the Science and Nonduality Conference (San Jose) and Radiant Intimacy (Scotts Valley), and has lectured at The Summit Series and Summit at Sea. In 2022, Steve will also teach at the Omega Institute (New York) and the Mandali Retreat Centre (Italy).

Steve’s work has been featured in international media such as the BBC, Channel 5, The Times, CP24, the Netflix series ‘(Un)Well‘, and the Netflix series ‘Sex, Love & goop‘.
