What is Movement Medicine 4 Men?

Movement Medicine 4 Men is a body of work designed by senior Movement Medicine Teachers and Apprenticeship Leaders - Marold Emmelkamp and Keef Wesolowski Miles, inspired by the work of Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, founders of The School of Movement Medicine and various other shamanic linages that we belong to.

It is designed to support men to stand up, to grow up and to live their dreams. It is a pathway that guides men, instead of performing masculinity, to live their lives with presence, courage and authenticity; to lead themselves and others from the heart; to bring their love into action and serve their communities.

This is grounded in the cultivation of a culture of integral masculinity that is humble - without humiliation, confident -without arrogance, authentic, responsible and that deeply loves, honours and respects the feminine in all her manifest forms, internally, in nature and in the human female form.

We offer a diverse range of classes, workshops, immersions, men’s circles, mentoring, Initiation and Apprenticeship for Men. This includes a clear and distinct Pathway to Apprenticeship and for those who feel the call - Professional Training with Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, the founders of The School of Movement Medicine.

Our Offerings

We have an ever evolving ecosystem of deep and transformational offerings, ranging from self-contained weekend workshops- in UK, Europe and beyond, online groups and 1:1 Mentoring, all the way to 10 day immersions and yearlong apprenticeships.

Our intention is to present many portals of possibility for each man to craft his own personal journey and have creative freedom and autonomy regarding the rhythm, pace and depth of his dance with this profoundly resourcing work.

Who is it for?

Movement Medicine 4 Men is for any man who longs to be the man who they know - deep inside their hearts -  they can be. It is for men who want to live a life of presence, power and purpose; a life of embodiment, courage, connection and authenticity — where leadership becomes less about doing and more about being.  

It is for men seeking a strong circle of brothers who are committed to their own personal growth and recognise the importance of comradeship, kindness and compassionate accountability. Creative collaboration, embodied communication, community and cooperation are paramount. As is the alchemising of conflict and competition into upliftment and celebration of the collective.

Through our offerings, men learn to stand grounded, act with clarity, and inspire through the integrity of presence. Whether you are just beginning your personal or professional growth journey or have years of self-development experience, we meet you where you are.

Why Movement Medicine 4 Men?

Movement Medicine is the foundation of our work and the cornerstone of our offerings. Whether you join in for a mentoring session or ultimately the Movement Medicine Apprenticeship, you will dance! Why? Because we recognise that we wouldn’t be the men we are today without the practices and teachings of Movement Medicine.

It is a set of conscious movement practices that reconnects men with their bodies, emotions, and innate intelligence. Through this men cultivate the qualities that define authentic leadership: presence, courage, emotional clarity, and grounded confidence. From what we have learned and who we have become, we truly believe in the wisdom of these words of Confucius - “Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance”

By committing to this work you will receive:

We can’t guarantee 100% what you will get out of working with us, because that also depends on your commitment to yourself. But we are committed to your growth and we will support you to commit to yourself, to take responsibility for your path and to cultivate a culture of accountability.

With this in place we are absolutely sure that you will - step by step - move away from a life of unsupportive patterns, habits, addictions, expectations, isolation and control, and move towards a life that is meaningful for you to live. A life that you know you are worthy of living. And even go beyond that.

You will also be offered an ocean of love, respect, community, kindness, commitment and good humour.

Testimonial

“We’ve known Keef and Marold since the very beginning of Movement Medicine, and their long dedication—from the first Professional Training to more than a decade of teaching—shows in the depth and clarity of their work.

The particular synergy of their integral gifts promises a potent mix. Dancers consistently describe their spaces as safe, transformative, spacious, and touched with playful humour, poetry, creative fire and earth-based wisdom.

We trust them deeply and warmly recommend them to any man drawn to work with them in this first ever Movement Medicine Apprenticeship for Men”

Susannah and Ya’Acov Darling Khan - Founders of the School of Movement Medicine

  • “Keef's fierce compassion, knowledge, humanity and candour have been such a blessing in my life. These, and the many other aspects of his mentoring style enable him to see the whole picture and cut through the bullshit straight to real, practical work, making every session with him absolute gold. He challenges me and holds me accountable in the true sense of holding. Wild Soul ReSourcing has been a huge integral and transformative part of my life. It's a real deep dive. The course material is prepared and presented beautifully making every session a profound and unpredictable experience.“  

    Edward Buck UK

  • “I often felt numb, didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, and found it difficult to allow my emotions. Through the workshop and the dance, I moved out of my head and much more into my heart. Now, a month later, I still feel more alive, have more energy, and it is becoming easier to allow and feel my emotions. I feel increasingly at home with myself. The way Marold guided us was, for me, safe, trustworthy, inspiring, and liberating.” 

    – Johny Joy, participant

  • “I’ve been a part of a men's group facilitated by Keef over the last 6 months or so. It has been an utterly beautiful experience throughout and has been highly conducive to my healing process. I’ve never been in such a loving & warm environment with a group of men before. I feel a sense of true brotherhood from a group of souls who truly do care deeply about one another. To feel what has emerged and bloomed within myself as a result of being involved has been quite simply amazing. I’ve been able to overcome many aspects of self that I've deemed shameful through opening to vulnerable sharing within the group and being held in everything that I've brought without judgement, only compassion and love. Keef holds the space amazingly and offers frequent pearls of valuable insight to all of us, as well as us all sharing with the other members from a place of support and love. I can highly recommend it to any man who is looking to grow and develop themselves in the container of brotherhood!”

    Jess Farmer, Coach UK

  • “Marold makes spirituality down-to-earth and applicable in daily life. Movement Medicine supports me in how I want to live my life as a human being every day. I recommend it to anyone who — through this shamanic dance form — wants to discover what they are meant to do in their life and how they can give shape to it on a daily basis.”    

    Sylvia Monten, dancer

  • “Keef’s a master of guiding these dances, helping me and my fellow dancers edge into the minutiae and the cosmic. I absolutely love these moments, and it’s one of the few things I have zero doubts about consistently showing up to!” 

    John Wiltshire 35, Ecological Communications, UK

  • "You can feel the medicine in the space which Marold creates: 
    he loves the dance, the mystery of the rhythms of the body, the natural world and all the feelings that arises from that. He teaches with deep respect for the dancers. In this space I feel free and safe to dive much deeper into the healing powers which moves in all of us and which connect us all”.    

    Inge Castellini, dancer
