Women & Men
Just as each person is composed of two elements, the body and soul, which we must learn to fully integrate, man and woman are the two elements of humankind.

We must use the “battle of the sexes” as a catalyst to reach back into our true selves. Learn about what it means to be a man or a woman, about masculine and feminine energy.

One being inward and internal is the feminine and the other being a masculine energy, a more aggressive, expressive energy. Both are necessary for every human being to function in this world.
