Courting the Beloved: Relational Mastery and Body-based Men’s Group (Online)
Limited to 12 men
This program is led by Pieter Van Winkle and Ezekiel Fugate, co-founders of The Institute for Embodied Men’s Work. Learn more about them here.
This is a special offering for a limited number of men ready to utterly transform their intimate relationships — from the inside out.
Courting the Beloved is an advanced training focused on relational intimacy, embodied self-mastery, and the adventure of attracting a partner in life: a “soul” mate.
This 8-week intensive incorporates elements of myth, self-designed ceremony, and embodiment practice to help participants understand and execute a process of soul-level manifestation. The self-reflection assignments, group feedback, and embodiment practices will challenge you to act boldly on behalf of the blindspots, patterns, and opportunities you discover, supporting you to create and attract nothing less than your ideal intimate partnership.
We will not coddle you or save you from uncomfortable truths. We won’t even guarantee that you’ll find a mate or transform your current relationship. That’s not really the point. The point is to use your inherent longing for intimate partnership as a gut-check diagnostic to support you in making the leaps in understanding, energetic conductivity, and personal mastery that you will need to manifest the relationship — and the life — of your dreams.
Letting go of outcomes is part of this personal mastery and maturation. We will ask you to leave your ego’s demands at the door — and open to a reality of trust, synchronicity, and soulful fulfillment.
“I feel like this program has opened me up to receiving whatever comes into my life with more grace and ease, opening up to trust, more joy, and listening to myself a little more honestly.”
—Eric (Cultivate Purpose Accelerator participant)
In this 8-week practice and body-based men’s group, you will:
Clarify and claim your non-negotiables in intimate relationship
Master the principles of polarity to supercharge your love life
Practice powerful sexual chi-gong + polarity techniques to boost your confidence, steady-state attractiveness, and sexual stamina
Discover the secret link between polarity and purpose and learn why following your unique path is the key to finding and keeping the love you want
Break out of repeating patterns in relationship (like chronic fighting or always finding yourself in the “friend-zone”), and significantly raise your expectations of what is possible
Confront — with the compassionate support of other men — the fears, addictions, and chronic behavioral patterns (e.g., compulsive porn use) that keep you stagnant in love and in life
Learn to see the qualities you seek in an idealized mate for what they truly are: powerful, hidden doorways to greater agency, profound personal insight, and life-changing decision-making
Hone your self-mastery, which will pay dividends regardless of your relationship status
“I love the movement exercises that we do together and I love hearing other men’s shares. For me the best part is hearing where other men are at. What they say acts as a reminder or a reflection and the level of sharing is not common in my current day-to-day relationships.”
—Harold (Cultivate Purpose Accelerator participant)
We're limiting this group to 12 men. Why? Because a transformative experience like this, which is essentially a profound journey of personal insight, requires an elevated level of individual attention, strong rapport among participants, and dedicated support tailored to each man's practice. By keeping the group small, we aim to foster the potency that naturally emerges within a dedicated and committed group of men.
“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”
—Archilochus
Courting the Beloved is equally valuable for:
Single men seeking to attract their ideal life partner, their “soul-mate”
Men ready either to transform or to exit a current relationship of limited alignment
Men looking to uplevel a successful intimate relationship by creating better sex, establishing more aligned collaboration (e.g., in parenting or professional pursuits), and increasing trust, play, and enjoyment
Men of any sexual orientation
This group is not for you if:
You have a habit of enthusiastically joining learning containers, only to resent them upon signing up, and then withholding your wholehearted participation
You are “triggered“ by things like accountability, and you’d rather be a lone wolf
You are addicted to externalization – the eternal “She“ is both the promise and the problem – and you don’t know how or aren’t ready to give up that painful cycle
You are not ready to be radically vulnerable and transparent about your self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors
You are not ready to transcend patterns of porn use and shame which, while counterproductive, keep you comfortably safe and locked out of the trouble + triumph of purpose-level engagement
“The program has held me accountable to some of my behaviors that aren’t serving me. When I’m tuned into the work, I can access soul, which has been a challenge for me recently.”
—Forrest (Cultivate Purpose Accelerator participant)

In short …
This is more than an information and practice-packed container — it is a crucible of personal transformation you can use to accelerate your relational reality. It is not for the faint of heart. And yet, if you’re committed to taking the necessary steps to create a soul-centric relationship — with yourself and with your ideal mate — then this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
If you’re willing to put in the work required to manifest your vision, and you know this is a chance you must take, join us.
