Movement Medicine 4 Men
“Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance“
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 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.
We are thrilled to announce the first ever

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
