AUTHENTICITY. BELONGING. BROTHERHOOD.
Guiding men out of numbness and into power that flows through an open heart.
"The fire isn’t found in the light, it’s forged in the dark."
THE PERFORMANCE
You’ve been keeping it together.
For her. For them. For your image.
You’re the steady one.
The nice guy.
The man who “does the work.”
But the truth is… you’re f*cking exhausted.
THE SILENCE
You’ve been playing it safe.
Saying the right things.
Nodding when you're misunderstood.
Apologizing for your needs.
Staying quiet when your whole body wants to scream.
THE BREAKDOWN
Some nights, you lie in bed with your chest tight, your thoughts racing, your jaw clenched, and you don't even know what you're upset about.
You just know something’s wrong.
Maybe the relationship ended.
Or the sex stopped.
Or the tension built to the point where it leaked out as passive silence or explosive rage.
And now you’re scared you’re going to lose everything.
Or that you already did.
THE MASK
And still, you’re carrying it all in silence.
Because part of you thinks you should have figured this out by now.
Because no one taught you how to actually feel and not fall apart.
Because you’ve convinced yourself it’s easier to be numb than to be seen.
But it’s not.
And deep down, you know it.
THE FLAME BENEATH
There’s a version of you that’s still alive beneath the mask.
Wild. Present. Unapologetic.
But he’s buried under years of shame, silence, self-doubt, and pretending.
THE INVITATION
This space is not about fixing you.
It’s about finding what’s true beneath what hurts.
It’s about turning toward the pain, not away from it.
It’s about stopping the performance.
And finally coming home to yourself.

1:1 MENTORING
A 3-month 1:1 mentoring journey for men who are ready to stop performing and start living from their fire.
This is private, soul-level mentorship for the man who’s hit his edge.
Maybe your relationship is on the brink.
Maybe you’re silently unraveling under the pressure to “be okay.”
Maybe you’ve had the awakening but none of it feels integrated.
Or maybe you just know something has to change because the way you’ve been living is slowly killing you.
WHAT THIS WORK IS FOR
▲ Reclaiming your voice and power without apology
▲ Healing or deepening your romantic relationship (especially when you’ve felt disempowered)
▲ Breaking people-pleasing patterns and building strong boundaries
▲ Integrating emotional pain, shame, and stored anger
▲ Reconnecting with your purpose, your fire, and your truth
▲ Shedding the old identities you’ve outgrown and embodying who you really are
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
3 months of private 1:1 mentoring
Weekly 60-minute Zoom sessions
Long-form voice check-ins between sessions
Space for deeper somatic practices when needed
A container for truth, not performance
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You’re looking for a quick fix instead of real change
You want someone else to save you
You’re more loyal to your story than your soul
You want breakthrough without integration
You want the fire but you’re not willing to sit in it
LET'S TALK
I don’t work with men who need convincing.
I work with men who feel the pull and who know they’re ready, even if they’re afraid.
If something in your chest is burning right now, follow it.
JOIN THE CIRCLE IN AUSTIN
JOIN THE
CIRCLE IN AUSTIN
Once a month, we gather in person.
Men. Fire. Truth.
No performance. No fixing.
Just real presence, real connection, and a space to remember who you are.
If you’re in Austin and ready to drop the mask, the circle is open.

MEET GENAR
MEET GENAR
There was a time when I lost myself completely.
In addiction. In relationships where I gave everything and abandoned myself. In silence, depression, and the constant tension of never feeling “enough.”
What transformed me wasn’t willpower, it was being witnessed by other men.
It was sitting in rooms where truth cracked me open.
It was working with mentors who didn’t try to fix me, but called forward the parts of me I’d buried to survive.
That was the beginning of something real.
Since then, I’ve trained under Amir Khalighi through Embodied Masculine and served at multiple men’s retreats, each time guiding others through the dark and into the truth of their own power.
I’ve created a life that feels honest and whole.
A life rooted in deep love, self-respect, meaningful connection, and financial alignment.
Not because I figured it all out, but because I stopped abandoning who I am.
This work isn’t about becoming better.
It’s about becoming true.
And I’m here to walk with you into that fire.

TESTIMONIALS
Genar leads ceremony masterfully and facilitates experiences that have allowed me to loosen my tight grasp on life and live more from my heart. I feel privileged to have been guided by Genar on numerous occasions and through a variety of practices and ceremonies. When he is facilitating, he has my deep trust. I am incredibly grateful to Genar for gifting this world with his empathic, selfless, life-changing service.

One of the best men’s circles that I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. Genar leads the practice so incredibly well – talented and accommodating to all levels. The space feels safe and welcoming to open up and bring everything you’re feeling to the group… good or bad! If you’re looking for a place to feel grounded, process those difficult emotions, and feel supported by other men, you’ve found the right place!
— Taylor R.
Genar has a way of working with people that is compassionate and has depth. I felt safe and confident sharing and going into the depths of my experience with him. If you are looking to go within yourself to excavate and learn where you can grow, Genar is a highly capable guide.
— Brody J.
Genar exemplifies everything anyone would ever want in a coach. He is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and shows the utmost professionalism every time we check in. He always finds ways to work with me to reach my life goals without trying to change me but instead make me be a better version of myself. I would recommend Genar as a coach in a heartbeat
— Zach J.
Genar's mentorship program has been a game-changer for me. His approach is unlike any other coaching I've experienced - it dives so much deeper. By weaving together breathwork, inner child exercises, and creating space for reflection, we were able to uncover and address issues I didn't even realize were holding me back.
— Scott B.
I had the good fortune of working with Genar after a recent plant ceremony. The compassion and wisdom he brought to the sessions in the weeks after the ceremony cushioned a difficult landing and allowed me to make the most out of what proved to be a challenging journey. Genar approached the process fully engaged, with phenomenal generosity of spirit. His commitment to this work was evident throughout, and I simply couldn't recommend him enough.
— Elon S.
Genar moves with a rare blend of exceptional talent, genuine humility, and unwavering commitment to service. Countless times I have felt deeply grateful for his perceptive insights. A four-month men's work intensive served as my portal to deep connection and an opportunity to experience him up close, and friends, I could not vouch for this man more emphatically. I invariably feel lighter and more alive after spending time in his orbit.
— Ale R.
