Emotional Intelligence: Connecting with the Power of your Emotions

To be alive is to feel and to feel is to experience emotion. Whether our emotions are overwhelming or subtle, fiery or chilling, dark or light, they are always present. However, for all too many of us, emotions remain a largely untapped source of strength, freedom and connection.  

Men, do you ever want to feel more connected and show up for the people in your life in a deeper way? Do you ever get feedback from those closest to you that they are wanting more? Do you ever feel distanced from yourself or shut down in the crushing demands of life?  If so, this group is for you. Learn to tap into your emotions to get close to them instead of shoving them down or running far from them. Gain a better understanding of what is driving you and connect deeper with God, yourself and others.
