"Since I'm getting what I need from the group -- support, connection, acceptance -- I feel like I have a lot more to give.

For example, last week, I was ready for my students, more level, patient, and compassionate with them, yet firm. It felt good to be able to communicate more clearly what I wanted and expected from them. When requests come from my whole body, they can feel it, and they're very responsive to it.

Similarly, last week, I was able to communicate with a massage client what I wanted from her -- mainly consideration of my time -- without reservations or apologies. I did it with compassion, too -- no contempt or resentment mixed in there. The conversation was open and honest, and felt satisfying for both of us.

So, how have I been empowered? Embodied? Attracting and asking for what I want more. Saying no without as much fear of disapproval. Being more in tune with my body = more flow in my body = more flow in my life... Really owning my sexuality and my "pussy", I get to choose...

I'm also experiencing greater intimacy by sharing authentically in the moment more often, with the extra challenge/bonus of letting go of the outcome or a particular response.

So I feel bolder in sharing with others, especially appreciations, which is fun! So I feel more connected, more love, less separate.

Speaking the truth from my whole body connects me better with the listener, they're more apt to hear me if it's spoken authentically."

"The small group format of the EEG has provided me with more opportunities for focused attention, as well as a strong container where I've felt supported going further, faster, and deeper into my edges while exploring new ways of being.

I have gotten helpful, empathetic feedback and valuable experiences from everyone -- both during the meetings, and between each meeting while working with the practice buddy I chose in the group. I have more confidence and I've seen improvement in my ability to choose how I show up in the world; while feeling my connections, speaking my desires, and being present with all of myself.

Additional things I've gotten out of the EEG:

• More confidence in "feeling my fear, and asking anyway".

• Less fear around feeling my sadness, anger, fear.

• More in touch with using masculinity as a tool.

• More ability around recognizing my true feelings, and expressing them.

• More comfort around "bitchiness" and more at choice around when I use it.

• Faster recognizing and expressing of my boundaries.

• Have had a lot of fun seeing my edges and playing with the tools in the group.

• More connected with my sexuality "

"Taking this course helped bring my emotions into my daily life. I was very surprised to learn how much more rich my emotional landscape became and was able to see that I had been suppressing my feelings in order to protect others from them. I actually had the experience that I can bring them out, and other's won't crumble or shy away from me.

I also learned a lot about attraction, and how much it is based on being able to feel the authentic truth of what someone is saying. Being in a supportive community was a safe way to practice these powerful and edgy concepts.

I appreciated how we quickly became a close knit group of men and women who were willing to tell the truth to each other about everything."

"The Embodied Empowerment Group has been an incredible learning experience for me. When I first started the group I didn’t really know what to expect and had some fear about attending. But, Scott is a great facilitator and created a wonderful safe container for all involved to be comfortable to go deep and be intimate with each other.

When I go to the group now I feel like I’m going to meet up with a group of friends who allow me to process my deep fears, wounds, hurts, resistances and things I might not be comfortable bringing up elsewhere. Often my greatest learning comes from watching others process what is current for them. The group has been a source of growth and has enabled me to become more at ease in the world."
