In Conversation with Cristián Gàlvez
What are we men afraid of? 
​The Art of Not Falling for Fear-Based Messaging
​
With our malleable minds, capable of learning a whole life long, we men must first discover what is important in life. Which is why we are and remain seekers. But it’s all too easy to get lost along the path of this search for a happy and fulfilled life. As soon as we start to feel that we’ve ended up on the wrong path, we get scared. And that’s a good thing. Fear is our most vigilant companion. It enable us to learn from mistakes. We cannot live without fear.

What’s foolish is that we all cling to the dream of a life without fear. So many many men try to ignore legitimate fears. They may even have the experience of a deeply felt, quite legitimate fear being masked by a more superficially triggered, better controlled fear. In order to achieve certain goals, we humans are able to both suppress fear and reinforce it – not just with ourselves, but even more effectively in others.

Fomenting or assuaging fear can therefore be used to specifically advance one’s own interests and agendas. This instrumentalization of fear makes people dependent and able to be manipulated, robbing them of their freedom. So the real issue is probably not how we free ourselves of fear, but what we can do so as not to become driven by the fears stirred up by other people or interest groups.

​Among Germany’s leading men’s coaches John Aigner has been teaching and facilitating workshops for over ten years.

With a diverse background in Sexual Psychology, Human Sexuality, Sexological Bodywork, NLP, hypnosis and leadership training he currently facilitates workshops in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Thailand.

He is the head and co-founder of MALEvolution, the non-profit men’s organization behind MANN SEIN and is looking forward to welcoming you all!

Self-Care for Men
​​Holistic Training and Nourishing Yourself

​"I invite you to become familiar with a functional training approach that will help you better cope with your everyday life, will give you better posture, will help you nourish your body by eating right – and thereby be well prepared for your life as a man.

Strength training and healthy eating are my game-changers, bringing me towards a healthier version of myself. And by that I mean first and foremost: being good to myself.

I know bodybuilders who feel empty inside and have huge psychological complexes. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I’ve experienced men for whom a customized physical training program and a healthy diet have triggered a cascade of positive personal development processes.

I’d like to inspire you to do more for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you weight train, do yoga or switch to a vegan diet (as examples) – in the end, what counts is that it feels good and feels right for you personally.

I’m looking forward to giving my presentation at the online MANN SEIN 2020, and will warm you up on both days with some exercises to move and energize you for a good start to your conference days."
