Signs that your masculine consciousness needs attention
- You feel stuck and lonely while you put others’ needs first
- Your physical, emotional needs are not being met
- You feel dependent on your partner’s affection to feel validated
- You end up resorting to unhealthy ways to soothe yourself
e.g. through abusive work hours and drowning in self-motivational books, audio or video, drugs, pornography, or endless binges of TV or internet. - You are unsure about your purpose and passion in life
- You are not in touch with my feelings or what you want in life
- You avoid conflict in hopes of a smooth problem-free life.
- You think that others have figured it out all.
If you relate to any of these statements, know that you are not alone and help is available
If you are ready to stop feeling helpless and wish to make a positive change in the company of men who are inviting and accepting.

In this day and age where we live in a fragmented world, bent on creating divisions amongst men, what we need is for men to bond over the shared vision of finding their purpose and passion in life and changing the world.
I created the Integrated Men Community for men to provide support as we challenge and inspire each other to beat societal norms and views of masculinity and create authentic, happy lives full of communication, vulnerability, and connection.
As the Creator of Integrated Men Community, I have helped over 1000 men make the necessary changes to turn their lives and relationships around.
Every week we hear about men taking great strides despite internal resistance. I see men of all ages choose to join this movement of becoming authentic men that live better for themselves and their families.
While I can’t change every man’s life, I have a goal of helping 10,000 men change their lives and relationships.
I invite you to join us in making this world a better place, by starting with ourselves.
The Value of Male Support
Having a support network that you connect with is an important step in getting help.
According to researcher Brené Brown in her book Daring Greatly, “Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. The power that connection holds in our lives was confirmed when the main concern about connection emerged as the fear of disconnection; the fear that something we have done or failed to do, something about who we are or where we come from, has made us unlovable and unworthy of connection.”
Brown’s research is based around shame and the power it has over us. Finding a network of support can help to dispel the shame that we feel related to the issues and difficulties in our lives.
Brown states, “If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.” So, finding a group of people who understand this shame and can help dispel it, is invaluable.
What To Expect From The Community?
Members of the Community get perks that aren’t available anywhere else. The collective of Integrated Men is always willing to share valuable knowledge and resources to help you make better decisions and take advantage of opportunities to improve your life for the better. These include weekly check-ins and a member community app to stay connected and much more.
Community Member Story
My name is Jorge Garcia from Salt Lake City, UT and I am on a path to becoming an Integrated Man. I have been part of the support group since 2019. I’m a father of two girls, I enjoy cooking, playing basketball and BBQs with my family and friends.
I came to the group at a point where I felt everything was falling apart. But I found support and guidance in this community.
I value the community because it has given me the opportunity to surround myself with men that have common goals and I learned that I can’t do it by myself. This is truly a safe space for men to start learning to become their authentic selves.
With the help of this community, I have been able to move forward in life and have now surrounded myself with people who truly care about me and are committed to seeing me succeed. The direction I’m heading towards in life is healing and restoration. I plan on this being a lifelong journey so I can better myself and help other men along the way.
I would invite you to come to join us and learn what we are doing. This is an amazing group of guys who will welcome you with open arms and without judgment as long as your only goal is to improve yourself.

Jonathon (Member since 2021)
I have been a member since 2021 and have really gained a lot from showing up for the weekly check-ins. By just being able to share some pretty tough stuff that I have been going through in a safe non-judgmental space with all the men who support me and understand me have been tremendously beneficial.
Adeel’s presentations have been consistently insightful and eye-opening for me. We talk about the masculine and how we can show up in ways that feel healthier and more empowering to men. These conversations have helped me see how I can be more present not only in my relationships, but also in my community and workplace.
At Integrated Men we are committed to helping men improve their lives and their relationships

Member Success Story
Just landed a great job with a big pay increase. If it wasn’t for therapy and this group I probably would have never looked at jobs that had that pay increase. I probably would have settled at where I was because previously I didn’t value myself much in my personal or professional life. So thank you so much for this group. It has borne so much good fruit in my life.

A Case for Belonging
The US rates of suicide and depression are on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, Suicide Rising Across the US: More Than a Mental Health Concern, published in June of 2018, the suicide rate has risen 30% in many states since 1999. The national numbers have risen 1.5%. The CDC found that, out of those who successfully committed suicide, half have no known mental health diagnosis.
And what really hits home is that 60% of those who successfully commit suicide are male.
Suicide is the sixth highest cause of death for men in this country.
These numbers are not meant to scare you, but to illustrate the idea that we’re all struggling and that men, especially, are more likely to suffer in silence until it’s too late. The old thinking that men don’t need help just doesn’t stick anymore. It’s time to make a significant and lasting cultural change.
Men who are connected with other men, live happier lives and are generally able to establish healthy relationships. Their partners and family are happy because these men have a place to develop their masculine consciousness in the presence of growth minded men. They don’t use their partners as their therapists because these men have a place to share.
