Braveheart
Men’s Circle
Braveheart Men's Circle is a community of men working to change their relationship with porn, compulsive masturbation, and sexual shame - led by Nils Voulfson. If you've used porn or masturbation to numb, escape, or avoid feeling and want something different - this group is for you.
“Alone with too much, we are traumatized.Together, with enough, we can heal.”
For many men, their relationship to their sexuality is tied to the unconscious habits of relating to themselves: shame, grief, helplessness, isolation. When we step out of these habits in safe spaces and practice true intimacy with ourselves and others, we step into true sexual empowerment.This is not a NoFap challenge. This is not purity culture. This is not about willpower or rules. This is about building a different relationship with yourself - one with enough intimacy and presence that compulsive habits lose their grip naturally.When things got hard when we were young we disappeared into pornography.In our adult lives we may have continued these patterns in our intimate relationships, and watched them be destroyed in time.As adults with support we can use our tools to stay present with our experience, resource, and connect with others in our struggles.

What I Bring
Having spent hundreds of hours in 12-step rooms navigating my own sex and porn addiction, I know that these groups only begin to scratch the surface of embodied sexual healing. For this men's group, I’ll share the tools and modalities that helped me on my journey of sexual freedom. I say “sexual freedom” instead of sobriety because that’s what I value - true freedom from sexual compulsion, not just the abstinence from the addictive behavior.I believe that in order to heal from sex and porn addiction, we need to “top the high”. Instead of focusing on cutting off the disjointed kind of satisfaction we are getting from these habits, we must work to live a life so fulfilling, so purpose driven, and so pleasure-filled, that porn and sex addiction don't stand a chance.I’ll bring these tools, modalities, and formats to the group - as well as my continuous curiosity and a research mindset to the question of “what is sexual freedom and how can we achieve it?”
