How Will This Training Program Practically Improve My Life? What Happens After Men’s Mastery? Why Should I Make The Investment of Time, Money and Energy? What Others Have Said About Working With Seth Braun / Men’s Mastery The MMC Schedule What Is the Men’s Mastery Course?I was guided to create this training program as a way for men to come together under the aegis (to mean a shield, protection, or sponsorship, originally from the name of the mythological protective shield of Zeus.) of the fundamental principles of truth and life as expressed in an integrally informed life practice program for men, that includes, but is not limited to the following:
The Best Year group will begin with individual coaching with each participant. We will then establish a participant driven weekend intensive where we will:
We will meet virtually twice a month, for 12 months, with special guests, experts from the worlds of men’s work, money, relationships, sex, soul, career and creativity. Weekend intensives will be participant driven and will address ways that we have sabotaged ourselves. You will leave with tools to breakthrough perceived limitations and make significant progress on your deepest dreams and purpose. Additionally, in the central intensive, we will actively engage fear, anger, shame, embarrassment, jealousy and other “negative” emotions so that we can make friends with ourselves at a deeper level and remove resistance to living fully. Most of what derails us from our life’s deepest purpose and the experience of our own fulfillment is not lack of discipline, boredom or knowledge, it is the experience of distraction and overwhelm. Due to the nature of modern life, we have to filter and process tremendous amounts of information that include finely tuned demands on our financial, emotional, psychological and physical reserves in the form of constant sales and marketing. This is the basic mechanism of the ego survival strategy. Get energy from outside. We now know, through the great teachings that the way to master life, is to find a locus of cause within our own psyche. We can say with confidence, that when we master our own hearts, minds, bodies and souls, then we can master the world of form and we will know that truth that Ram Dass stated in BE HERE NOW, when you give up the world, it is all yours. Therefore, the men’s mastery training program can be simply summarized as: Why Is This Course Unique?
Seth would not be alive today without the support of so many. He is simply passing on what he has received abundantly. Extrapolating on that unique lineage is a leaning towards creativity as a path of personal growth and development. While there are many programs for men to participate in that are powerful and transformative, this one contains that seed of the “warrior-artist.” The warrior artist is seeking to be of benefit by invoking courageousness and creativity as daily practice. What are Seth Braun’s Qualifications?Seth Braun first began men’s work at age 19. Jeffrey DuVall, author of Men, Meaning and Prayer, has been a close friend and mentor ever since that first weekend spirit camp. DuVall has passed on a legacy of integrity, fierce love, compassionate grit. Jeffrey introduced Seth to the Men’s Council Project (now called Men’s Leadership Alliance) in 1999. Seth staffed the weeklong, Men’s Leadership Training Program for 5 years and completed it twice. Seth has attended dozens of men’s weekends with MLA. Through MLA, Seth began to study with Tom Daly, PhD, founder of 4 Gateways Coaching and respected elder and long time leader in the world of human potential. Seth apprenticed with Daly for over 5 years and became the only person in the world certified to deliver Tom’s unique coach training program. Through the Grace of God and the support of community, Seth and AnaVictoria remarried in the summer of 2009. Surely, this was a symbol of the possibility of miracles. As a father, Seth is active in the lives of his daughter Marisol and his stepdaughter, Paloma. Despite a fierce commitment to his career and creative endeavors, he maintains a family first philosophy. Seth lost his father at the age of 16 to type I diabetes. He watched his father experience lost eyesight, loss of limb, heart attack, open heart surgery, kidney dialysis, stroke and eventual death. This had a profound effect on the way that Seth saw the world, health and the psychology of men.
From the absolute bottom, there was no place to go but up. Seth made a solemn vow to learn about life, to surrender to God and to follow his dreams. His life then took on an entirely different quality. Through hard work, determination and the Grace of God, Seth studied personal growth and development technologies around the world. Through his own experience, Seth has amassed a set of tools and techniques that have proved helpful. These tools and techniques are not secrets, are not hidden and are actually quite simple and ordinary. It is the consistent and disciplined application that makes them unique. Truth is not special, not to be sold, and not for an elite. But the practice of living the principles of truth is a skill can and should be taught and shared and is THE MOST VALUABLE EDUCATION THAT YOU CAN INVEST IN. Seth Braun has professional training in a variety of health and human potential techniques, technologies, schools and lineages, including, but not limited to:
Braun has taught at Universities, Non-Profits, Churches, Businesses both large and small. How Will This Training Program Practically Improve My Life?Practical outcomes that you can expect include:
What Happens After Men’s Mastery?After the men’s mastery program, the first 12 men are inducted into a private mastermind group called The Mastery Club. Modeled after my experience with the Boulder Highland City Club, this invitation-only mastermind group will function as a long term collective for advancing the individual and collective integrity, health, stability, success, joy, focus, discipline, devotion to Spirit and commitment to excellence. The people that define us are the people we spend time with. Our success in life is not an isolated, individual process. Through community, we are able to bring fourth our deepest goals and dreams. The Mastery Club is a place for men to practice excellence for their families, communities and the planet. How Do I Participate?
Currently, the structure is in design, but the impulse is towards two monthly, two-hour teleconferences, for 12 months with one hour coaching session with Seth Braun as well as check ins. Members engage in action items between each call and have weekly check-ins with a buddy from the program. The buddy changes four times during the course of the program, giving you four different men to hold you accountability and act as a mirror for your own experience. Monthly one on one coaching will be one to two hours depending on need, but generally towards one hour. Currently, two to three weekend intensives are designed into the curriculum. One of these may be structured as a full virtual training module to reduce the need for travel. This may be determined after the course is under way based on the energy and feedback of the group. The third is an optional celebration in Nosara Costa Rica! What Are The Logistics?The course will begin in Spring, 2010, at a weekend retreat in the mountains of Colorado. We will begin group coaching calls on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month, beginning in the spring as well. All group calls are scheduled through December 2010. 2011 calls will be scheduled, as we get closer. All of these calls are schedule for the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month. Individual coaching sessions will be scheduled per your schedule and mine. How Much Does It Cost?The cost for the full course is $3,450. Price is broken down into the following:

For $3,450, you can experience the most transformative year of your life as a man. Additionally, if you lived at your peak potential, could you increase your earning potential? Here are the statistics for the average American man’s use of time:
Do you think that having more energy, less sick days, and higher mental function will add more time or less? Do you think getting absolutely certain about your purpose and the motivating reasons behind the action will trim off unnecessary time distractions? Would that allow you to get more accomplished or less? The curriculum of the Men’s Mastery Course is supremely practical. What Do Others Have To Say About Working With Seth Braun?
With Seth's support, I now make more money doing what I like to do. And I work fewer hours with a business plan that has me so excited for my future. I even took 2 months off this year to surf and study yoga in tropical locations. Even better, is the fulfillment and peace I experience day to day. I got back into basketball, got certified as a yoga teacher, established a daily spiritual practice, and took my intimate relationship to new heights. Even though I was a peer and colleague of Seth's for years, I did not hesitate to hire him. I was stuck in a number of patterns that totally frustrated me. I knew I needed the support of an expert. Seth lives his teachings and brings great integrity and joy to his work. It was an absolute no-brainer- maybe the best money I've ever spent." ~ Lucas Seipp-Williams, Health Counselor, Baltimore
My diet has changed dramatically since I worked with Seth. I now eat more healthy and consciously. I am also a professional performing musician and have worked with Seth directly on my performance and business skills.If you have the opportunity to work with Seth either in-person or by phone he is a man who has done his homework and walks his talk. Outstanding!” ~Rosh, Teacher and Songwriter from Boulder CO.
“While I can set an intention for change, actually making that change can be an easily postponed event. Seth Braun offered me a safe and encouraging holding that kept me focused and helped me to usher in change. Seth educated me, assisted me in setting achievable goals and ultimately left me with a nutrition routine that both supports my lifestyle and adds to my overall heath and well being. I looked forward to being in Seth’s presence each week; I think you will too.” ~Scott Schell, Minister, Columbine Unity
He's transformed my diet and now I'm eating foods that I like better, and I feel SO much better. I literally have another 90 minutes of productive energy in my day. EVERY DAY. I have already recommended Seth to several of my good friends.” ~Steven Morrow, Denver, Colorado
He was able to address certain concerns that I had due to stress and age issues. Seth ties in multiple disciplines for a complete picture of what healthy really means. He helped me make a lifestyle transition from one which had been ingrained for decades. “ ~Chuck Hunker, SBDC Counselor, Business Owner Click here for more information on career development for health professionals.

"Before Seth's MM Course, I was getting big results, but I was stressing, working long hours and neglecting my self care and fulfillment. I was selling myself short in a number of areas of my life.
“I have worked with Seth Braun for over five years as a health coach and a life coach. Seth is for real! He has an outstanding ability to cut right down to what the truth is and clarify what immediate actions are needed to address any problem. 
“ I was a client of Seth Braun’s and had very positive results.
