Heart & Shadow
Sessions & Workshops
The Heart & Shadow work happens only in a tangible field of your body’s Truth and safety without agenda. If you’re finally ready commit to living your Heart’s truth, sourced in your innate power, the work might be for you.
About Heart & Shadow
The Heart & Shadow work is rooted in the perennial truth that human beings are both temporal and eternal. Here, ‘heart’ is the home – the center – of your Soul’s nature within your body, and ‘shadow’ is the unequalled power of your evolutionary purpose.
Heart & Shadow work is not therapy, energy healing, nervous system regulation or emotional processing. It’s for men who’ve reached the exhaustion of their reasons and seek their own truths, unmitigated or interpreted by others.
Heart & Shadow work shows you how to give in to your Self as a free agent of the wisdom and power you are.
Heart & Shadow work is one-part somatic feeling experience, one-part radical self-honesty, and one-part courageous surrender in real time. No prep, staging or practice required. Each personal session or group circle fiercely holds sacred your awakening as its sole purpose.
Adam’s genius is his unerring instinct for the center—the core of the problem that the individual has organized his or her life around. I could say many other things about his commitment, passion and spirit but it is this I most want to highlight—his deep intuitive ability to find the splinter in the soul of the other. Ernest Hemingway was once asked what a writer needed more than anything thing else and he answered “A built in shock proof shit detector.” Adam has this.
Nearly all transformational modalities today skip over or do not see the tremendous power source that is a man’s genuine and full-bodied Feeling. These are not his emotions, his body or energy sensations, or his intuition. A man’s Feeling experience is never in relation to anything other than his own truth, which is the experiential merge of his Soul and his full humanity in that moment.
Your ability to live your truth in the world is only accessed through your Heart and only grounded through your Hara that form the major tantric circuit for living your truth-in-power. Simply, without full and purified access to both, a man’s apparent agency, effectiveness and sovereignty is at best skin deep.
But when you genuinely commit from deeper than what you think you want or what you think you need to accomplish or transform, you will discover a dynamically-responsive stability that transcends any self-sabotage or habituated behavior.
What you’re able to hold in your Heart and how you operate from your Hara literally deepens and widens.
You develop an unshakable intimacy with yourself, with others and with life that is no longer based in performance, secret deficiency or arrogance. It replaces your habituated behaviors and self-images with your endogenous creativity and originality.
My facilitation of men in these deep spaces results primarily from my commitment to the truth undeniable in/as our bodies.

Read these self-inquiries out loud:
1. Am I able to put down my familiar mental habits and Not Know?
Leaving our head for our Heart is crucial in this sped-up, over-stimulated culture. For people sincerely interested in exploring their authentic human experience, this is very important.
2. Am I able to be wrong about myself?
The discovery of where we’ve been lying to ourselves only matters when it comes through our own direct experience.
3. Am I able to fully have an experience that I’m not controlling?
Dropping our habits of monitoring ourselves – sensations, mindstream, emotions – and tracking our environment – people, outer energies – takes time. Only when we are stable in something other than monitoring or tracking our experience will we begin to enjoy the implicit freedom in each moment.

What Men Say
“The last 6 months sitting with him (in Heart & Shadow sessions) has been actually the most important period of my years of inner work. This isn’t because Adam has my answers, but because he’s so rigorous in refusing to allow my deeply-embedded ancestral patterns to run my life anymore. Strongly encourage any man to come in and drop in with Adam.”
— Matthew
“It so fundamentally changes the game. I know it’s going to take me some time to integrate what opened in me. I actually don’t know what to call it.”
— Brett
“I’ve worked with many teachers over many years. What distinguishes Adam is that he doesn’t interpret your experience for you — he helps you inhabit it. That is a rare and precious gift.”
— Javier
