Jeannie Zandi ~ Mature Yang: Reclaiming the Healthy Masculine

Within our dominant culture that glorifies immature yang, explore with Jeannie how to move through and beyond to a mature, grounded, heartful yang. Learn to embody protection, clarity and purpose without force or aggression, integrating strength with tenderness.

In a culture saturated with immature expressions of yang (masculine) energy, what does healthy, integrated yang really look like? This eye opening session examines the distinction between immature and mature yang expressionÑregardless of your gender identity.

Jeannie will create a safe container to explore manifestations of yang and offer a vision of integrated, healthy masculine presence that serves life rather than dominating it.

Together we’ll discover:

    • The essential qualities of mature versus immature yang expression

    • How to recognize and transform patterns of false yang in yourself

    • Ways to embody grounded protection and strength

    • The beautiful integration of power and tenderness, action and presence

    • How balanced yang creates sanctuary for the heart’s vulnerable expression

This class is for anyone seeking to understand immature yang expression in themselves or others, creating space for the emergence of authentic strength that doesn’t require disconnection from tenderness.

If you’re a man wanting to explore this topic more deeply, Jeannie will be offering an in-person retreat for men August 25 – 31, 2025. Find out more here.
