Co-cocooning Experiment 3

Metamorphosis Moon for Men

From 'me' to 'we'

Ready to cocoon with brothers and discover the depths of yourself and reality, supported by other men eager to unlayer themselves?
After 4 heptads (= weeks), you will have gone through:

  1. Initiation (water)
  2. Refinement (earth)
  3. Transformation (fire)
  4. Ripening (air)

Helping your false self lower down and your true self emerge, just like a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly.

Join us on an exceptional journey, containing:

[individual]

  • Deep introspection
  • Refined awareness
  • Occult knowledge

Blended with:

[communal]

  • Heartfelt connection
  • Emotional vulnerability
  • Mutual empowerment

Come out of this experiment with more authenticity, inner authority, wisdom and true connection. Take those qualities into the tribe and collective.

To advance on this journey, we'll make use of esoteric systems like the 13:20 Dreamspell and/or Human Design. The first being the deepest, serving to uncover synchronistic and cyclical patterns of time & reality and remember our 4D and 5D existence; the second helpful to recognize our archetypal blueprints, embrace our own uniqueness and learn how we fit together as one energetic body; as parts of the whole.

Based on the previous experiments, we can state that the journey is deep and we will need a sharp focus on ourselves, each other and reality in its whole during this quest. That's why we abstain from escapist substances like alcohol, drugs, tobacco and coffee—during the experiment, and as part of our lifestyle in general. This is for brothers who have realized that none of those substances contributes to their physical well-being or spiritual growth. Furthermore, by allowing men only, we avoid having energy (physical and mental) spent on polarized attraction games. Seeking equilibrium of male-female polarities is reserved for a more advanced level, and starts by balancing our yin-yang energy within.

More about the focus on men

Professor Robin Dunbar, best known for his work on human social group size, has shown that regular, in-person male gatherings are a vital component of men's mental health and resilience.

We're in uncertain and turbulent times where:

  • “Toxic masculinity” narratives are on the rise;
  • Positive male role models are being eroded;
  • There is a growing crisis in men's mental health.

Therefore, what's needed isn't performative masculinity or toughness. What's needed is grounded masculine presence and mutual inner empowerment. A return to stability, strength and stoicism.

Because in a world that demands constant attention, outrage, and reaction, a man's greatest strength is the ability to pause, breathe, and hold centre, which is facilitated by truly knowing himself.

We're offering an interconnected space for real conversation, vulnerability and healing among other men; an opportunity to reconnect with awake masculine presence, to steady ourselves in a noisy world.

On top of that, this is a quest for true freedom, meaning and shared purpose.

Welcome to the brotherhood!

Focus

Individual focus
  • How to be sincere, true to our unique individuality, responsible and self-loving, while standing in our strength.

  • How to recognize our egos, shadow states, coping-mechanisms, conditioned patterns and collectivized thoughtforms, helped by the group bringing them to light, for each of us to start observing them, with the goal of transcending.

  • How to calm down the nervous system and see reality with a more balanced mind, using techniques like vipassana meditation, five rhythm breathwork and qigong to name a few.

  • How to activate the 7 radial plasmas at the center of our 7 chakras, with each plasma symbolizing a day of the heptad (week), achieving holistic equilibrium.

  • How to recognize symbols, synchronicities and higher forces at play, obviously requiring an open mind and readiness to expand consciousness.

Communal focus
  • How to operate in an intimate tribal group setting, feeling like a brotherhood, possibly being the first time to experience this outside the family environment for an extended period of time.
    This includes cultivating care, empathy, patience and trust.

  • How to return to community values and shared purpose, rather than pursuing individual goals and achievements.

  • How to live in natural time, using artificial clock time as little as possible, and instead, going with the sun cycles and the energy of the day, using the 13:20 Dreamspell calendar to guide us.
    This also means no planning for the future or fixed scheduling. Actions are based on set intentions, the flow of the group and the feelings of the moment, which are all more changeable than rigid.

  • How to cook delicious meals and function as a team in the kitchen and in the household in general.

Beyond individual and communal
  • How to break free from a crumbling societal system and disover certain deep-rooted problems and possible solutions for the system's metamorphosis.

  • How to emerge with tools to contribute authentically to the greater whole, bridging 'me' to 'we' to humanity's evolution.

There may be more. Where exactly the focus lies, depends on the flow of the group, your eagerness to learn, your openmindedness and your own input and suggestions.

What after?

Unlike the typical short-lived experience, we offer the possibility to continue with us as part of the team and eventually as part of the tribe. Learn more about our tribe building initiative here.
The eligibility to move forward with us will depend on:

  1. Your own willingness and motivation.
  2. Criteria we take into consideration, that cannot be put into words but have to be experienced.

There will be a personal evaluation in the middle and at the end of the experiment, where we'll discuss the possibility of continuation.
