Life had a beautiful way of weaving Summit One together. Tom and I (Sabri) met at the board retreat for the centre of world philosophy and religion in Vermont, in summer 2023. Our first conversation was immediately deep, heart felt and connected, alive with feeling, emotion and love. A couple of weeks later Tom joined me on my podcast and over the year to follow, we deepened our connection and relationship.

Through 20 years of coaching in martial arts, fitness and as a life coach I have found that men often feel a safe space to connect with me and share honestly and vulnerably. After many years of my own personal introspection and self discovery, I endeavour to show up to life authentically, vulnerably and as I truly am. I feel there is a deep yearning for this in society at large but even more so in men.

There is a crisis in men with all the statistics pointing to extreme difficulties navigating the complexities of life - mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, professionally and in relationships.

Masculinity has been demonised for the ways it has shown up in its shadow throughout history and being a man today comes with a level of guilt for what men throughout history have done. As a result we see many men rejecting their masculinity with little to no example of how to embody a healthy, balanced and integrated masculinity.

We see men struggling to keep up with a standard they think they need to meet to be enough, to provide for their families, to be worthy of a relationship and nowhere to turn for advice and support.

Most men don’t talk becasue their peer groups reject their own emotions and spaces for vulnerability are hard to find whilst they also feel they don’t want to appear weak or but a burden on their significant other by sharing their problems.

I’ve spent many years on my own journey navigating all these things, living in the shadow of masculinity, climbing the ladder to be what I thought would make me enough only to experience emptiness and the dark night of the soul a decade ago.

At 17 I came home to my father being unconscious after attempting suicide and spent the next 2 years helping him through a deep depression and multiple suicide attempts.

I’ve witnessed and experienced first hand how it feels to be completely overwhelmed, to feel there was nowhere to turn and to struggle navigating and making sense of the feelings, thoughts and emotions that show up in those moments.

I recently shared my desire with Tom to turn my coaching direction specifically in the direction of men, to create a brotherhood for support, a space to be seen but also to offer wisdom, guidance, tools and strategies to not only navigate life but to thrive.

As a psychologist and wisdom teacher, Tom has not only worked with men extensively in his counselling practice but has held mens retreats for over twenty years.

It was obvious that we both shared the desire and vision to be of service and support men in the core aspects of life.

Our aim is to empower men to show up to your life as the fullest expression of who they are, through a wide range of modalities and a holistic approach that combines philosophy, wisdom teachings, coaching, techniques, guidance and a brotherhood of support.

To discover and embody a clarified masculinity, to evolve, transform and realise their unique and clarified self.

With a combined 60 years of experience in the realm of self exploration and personal transformation in the five core areas of life - physical health, business, relationships, mental/emotional health and spirituality.

Whether it's experiencing harmonious and loving relationships, improving your health and energy, finding inner peace, discovering your true passion, experiencing more purpose and meaning or accelerating in you career, our mission is to support you every step of the way.
