A Mentorship Circle is a support group that includes a very strong focus on being mentored and learning how to mentor others. Mentorship Circles are much like men’s and women’s circles in that you receive emotional support and meaningful connection with other members, with the added element of an interactive workshop-like atmosphere for receiving higher knowledge, wisdom, and life skills from the leader of the group (and other members who wish to share their gifts as well).

NEMA is ongoing. There is no end-date at this time. NEMA is meant to be a much more satisfying version of an ongoing generic support group. In this way you are encouraged to particpate for as long as necessary to get your life where you want it to be.

Glad you asked. There are many.

1.  Almost all men’s circles these days cost something. $100/mo is common for both men’s and women’s circles in today’s day and age. From renting venues and paying for specialized software & online service subscriptions (eg. Zoom, cloud storage, CRM tools, multimedia production platforms, etc.), to preparing materials, keeping tabs on each member, and managing group affairs, there is always basic overhead for time and money spent by the leader and/or organization.

2. Commitment. When our money is on the line, we humans tend to take things more seriously.

3. You pay for what you get. Too many men’s groups are led by men with no formal education in mentoring, counselling, coaching, or therapy. They’ve simply done a lot of men’s work. The skills and street smarts that years of men’s work affords a man should not go undervalued – experience is king these days – however men’s work is trauma work often times, and qualified help then becomes important. Furthermore, it’s equally important the men leading you have suffered like you, yet are now physically healthy, sober from hard drugs and alcohol, living a balanced life, and are therefore higher level role models you can look up to who can offer more than just good group facilitation and support.

4.  Perks. As a new member of NEMA you receive a free course, a free book, access to my online school & private social media platform, 25% off my services as an active member, tons of free content (audiobooks, educational material, ebooks, etc.), occaional guest speakers, occasional in-person gatherings, and occasional (optional) workshop-like meetings on some weeks as well.

5.  Our higher standard. NEMA is unique in that we apply scientifically proven and metaphysically tried-and-true practices for real transformation. This isn’t just about being there for each other with our hearts, but actually changing and rising together in real tangible ways.

So, the cost not only covers the leader’s costs, but their expertise and life experience as well. Plus, this is simply a high quality experience you’re paying for.

6.  Time. Leaders of circles of this caliber always spend many extra hours outside of circle (6-8 hours on average) each week doing work behind the scenes. From additional workshop-like meetings some weeks, to meeting prep and one-on-one follow-up, to designing customized practices & experiences… there is a lot that goes into leading effective and fulfilling groups.

In the end, when you add it up, we leaders make very little for what we put in, especially in small intimate circles which is how group work should be. And let’s face it, very few of us can afford to give our highly qualified work away for free these days, given the collapse of the financial system that is underway as we speak.

Self-love and respect is the name of the game right now and the value of strong integrated leadership cannot be overstated.

We are not fanatical preppers assuming doom for humanity’s future, but we stay abreast of worldwide patterns and future probabiliities. And when it seems reasonable we prepare for said probabilities. Many of us have a long term supply of bulk food and other supplies because food chain issues seem like an obvious near future event. Some of us have also taken survival courses, invested in precious metals, etc., but we do not operate from a militant or paranoid place in our actions and we condemn any eye-for-an-eye mentality.
