This is not a masterclass about masculinity. This is not a masterclass about being strong in the way most of us understand that concept. At the same time, this is not a masterclass where we will discuss masculine archetypes and their representations in society.
This is a masterclass in which, in a context of safety and validation of the difficulties that come with expressing emotions, you will learn how to recognize your emotional states in your body, how to understand them, and how to connect with those parts of yourself that, over the years, as a result of many “you’re a man, you’re not afraid” or “men don’t cry” lines, you’ve learned to leave them somewhere so hidden in your mind that it has been so hard to access. These parts need to be seen so badly, heard, accepted in every moment of your daily life, as there lies a deeper strength.
My invitation is to discover the wisdom, integrity and that power of the body that opens up emotional worlds through which you can be more connected to yourself, but also to those around you.

About the facilitator

Răzvan Costa is a Somatic Experiencing Therapist in training and a PsyLife Clinic collaborator, where he works in individual counseling – using body-oriented techniques, working mainly with post-traumatic stress disorder and integration of traumatic experiences following various forms of abuse. Răzvan has gained experience in working with people from his challenging work in the field of National Security, both at home and in international missions. Throughout this professional experience, some of the things he had to do was to be very aware and reading others’ emotions and not very focused on what was happening to him. These processes resulted in numbing the sensations in his body and the emotions in order to be able to carry out assignments both for himself and especially for those who were with him, so that he could keep them safe. The process of self-discovery came with many realizations, but also with the desire to offer others the experience of knowing the sensations and reactions of the body in order to produce healing.
