NSI
What
Twice a year, four men and four women come together in honesty, courage, and vulnerability. Instead of hiding behind fear and isolation, we step toward one another—sharing wounds, listening deeply, and discovering what healing can look like across gender.
Led by Andrew Bauman and a trained facilitator, this intensive creates a safe, challenging space to witness one another without masks or walls. We attend to the gendered wounds left by patriarchy, the church, shame, silence, and sexual betrayal.
Who this is for
Men who…
- Have completed the Men’s Intensive, or are ready to inquire about that prerequisite.
- Want to face integrity gaps, unwanted sexual behavior, emotional disconnection, and shadow.
- Are ready to show up humbly, share their stories, and practice courage.
Women who…
- Have done personal healing work and are ready for a next step.
- Carry wounds from betrayal, control, objectification, or misogyny.
- Want to reclaim their voice, honor their bodies, and trust their intuition.
Everyone who…
- Longs for a safe space to share and hear complex stories.
- Wants to heal patriarchal wounds that limit connection.
- Is ready to move toward mutuality, power-with, and wholeness.
