What others have to say about The Portal:
“The Portal is such a special place. My time with George gave me a much deeper understanding of myself and helped ground me in a healthy community of gay men. Couldn't be more grateful!”
-Jeffrey S.
“I can not recommend working with George enough! I thought I had done a lot of healing work before, but I quickly learned it was tiny in comparison to the amount of progress I made with George.”
-Brian B.
“The Portal helped me connect to other like-minded people who value trust, community, and healing.”
-Victor R.
“If you are on the fence, just do it! The Portal was my first time practicing breath work, and although this course was virtual, I can wholeheartedly say that from night one we generated a powerful energy that brought out raw emotion and an instant authentic connection within the group. Over the course of 5-days, we laughed, we cried, and we expressed feelings that many of us had never tuned into before. I cannot say enough positive things about George and the space that he has created, this course showed me how magical gay men truly are!”
-Ryan R.
“The Portal was nothing short of everything I was looking for. I've tried a bunch of different healing modalities in my life: doctors, therapists, pharma, reiki, acupuncture, and lots of yoga. While all those different things have worked to varying degrees, it is the breathing work I've done with George that has allowed me to quickly regain some precious lost memories from childhood. It's also helped me face and feel some of the more shadowy stuff I've carried with me for a long time — and let it go. Most fundamentally, though, the Breathwork has helped me further clarify the way I understand and operate in the world. If you have the time to commit to yourself, I highly recommend The Portal, or any other of George's wonderful, healing sessions.”
-Matt M.
Our Curriculum
Sessions generally follow this sequence:
Session One: Sadness / Landing in our Bodies & Owning our Resistance
Learn tips and tricks to truly arrive and land in your body so that you can do healing work
Identify and own any resistance to digging into what feels icky, including “feeling our feelings”
Session Two: Anger / Exploring our Judgements & Beliefs
Our judgements and (sometimes limiting) beliefs are gold mines for what is ready to heal
Learn a process for how to use these as healing tools
Session Three: Fear / Examining the Roots & Meeting your Inner Child
We’ll explore the roots of our healing by tapping into our younger selves
We’ll explore their needs, wants, joys, and desires
Session Four: Joy / Building & Nurturing Durable Self Love
We’ll tune into and expand your personal headquarters for healing: self love
We’ll implement daily practices for nurturing self love
We’re being ask to sit with ourselves like never before.
Our couches have become our headquarters for relaxation, work, and emotional release.
Our partners and family members have become mirrors on to which we project our internal worlds.
Our minds are active, allowed to run free and share all their spicy, little opinions.
Breathwork offers a practical tool for safe, lasting self-exploration.
The Portal for Gay Men comes from walking myself through the fire.
As a Gay man, my own healing journey asks me to:
Examine the behaviors I’ve employed to escape and sabotage
Explore my judgements and where they came form in me
Tend to the parts of me that needed care instead of avoidance
Pull up old beliefs and examining their roots
Be with my relationships as evolve into healthier stages
I remain committed to building sturdy, durable self-love.
I know it takes discipline, focus, playfulness, and community. I believe we be together, laugh, and dive into our deepest wounds.
I believe examining our triggers, tendencies, and reactions with a handful of compassion propels us into states of freedom and bliss.
This offering is a self-study that grows a spaciousness that no one can take away.
One that losing a job doesn’t shift, seeing relationship fade doesn’t shift, and being confronted with difficult realities doesn’t shift. It’s a kind of self love that builds a container to hold the fullness of life.
This offering is a chance to embrace and unleash the magic within every Gay man.
Times of activation offer portals for deep healing.
The best buddy I’ve found for building a solid container wasn’t a therapist, a workshop, or a book (although they are helpful aids), it was my own breath.
Breathwork, an active meditation practice that flushes the body with oxygen and clears stuck energy, has been my tool. It’s been the internal power wash I didn’t know I needed.
It’s allowed me to clear out things I’ve stored in my body for over 20 years and fully step into the role of being my own healer.
Breathwork has brought me into the present moment in a way I’ve never experienced before. It’s a state I dreamed of reaching with silent, seated meditations.
Breathwork washed away the slush and let my personal truth pour out. It’s taught me truth about why I’m here, truth about what food to put in my body, and truth about how to trust love.
Breathwork has a way of giving you exactly what you need in the moment. What do you need right now?
If you’re ready to use this moment as a portal for deep healing, start writing down why.
