From my perspective, there is one feeling that men desire to feel more than anything else. I call it Honor. And most men will do almost anything to feel it.

After risking his life as a soldier, John returned from Iraq with PTSD and contemplating suicide.

Some men even sacrifice sex and money for a lifetime to feel Honor (monks for example). It's easy to see in many who take up a martial arts path, a peacemaker path or a devoted spiritual path.

This one feeling encourages men to stand up for what's right and to sacrifice for their family and their values. It's the emotion that heroic hollywood narratives evoke as they tell stories of one man facing his fears to stand up and do the right thing, even if it means sacrificing for a cause they believe in.

Ask Thad. He thought he might never find a woman, who could accept how much he sacrifices as a peacemaker. And he was prepared to accept that he might never marry and have a family of his own.

Honor gives a man a vision for being a father one day...

Here's what he felt and saw after being honored by women, who had been learning the art of profoundly honoring another:

Perhaps one of the greatest journeys a man makes in his life is that of being a father. And it's a path of honor. But with the complexities of modern life, many men feel they have to fight against people in their own family to defend their honor.

However, when men feel deeply seen and honored, it's natural for them to honor others--even if it means risking their pride and being courageously vulnerable. Ask Josh.

Honor unites the fathers in the family.

After returning from a VisionForce iStand, this young father honors the father of his girlfriend, and creates healing for the family.

When fathers feel honored by the mother of their children, it can change families for generations to come. Ask Hana.

Honor brings families together...

In the audio below, Hana shares how she honored her husband and each of her children, and the impact this made with her family.

Honoring vs. Feeling Honor

It's easy enough to take actions or say words to honor someone, but having them FEEL the emotion of Honor is often not so easy.

In fact in our culture, it's generally quite difficult.

But it's so powerful... Fathers often long to feel it. And many men weep when they feel this emotion.

This is something I've been helping people to do for a long time - to feel honor and to have others feel honored.

And I would love the opportunity to support you in a journey into Honor.

My Invitation to You

I am here to offer you (and your father) something from my heart.

I am inviting you to join me for the next few weeks in honoring your father, the father of your children, or another special father figure or man in your life:

If you let me, I will support you in touching his heart...

I will support you in coming into beautiful, honoring connection with him.

For Fathers, to feel this honored as a father is the MOST they can ever ask for in their life...

     For some fathers, to receive this from their child who has been distant is enough to make their life complete.

     And if you have a father who is nearing the end of his expected time in this life, what could be more special to him than to receive your love in a way that he can really feel it...

     This is what I am good at helping people to do.

Father's Day is Sunday, June 19th

Father's Day in the US, Canada and Great Britain is approaching in 2 weeks...

But we don't need that as a reason... you can do this just because, you can do it for you.

If your father has passed you can do it for him anyway... touching his heart in this way will profoundly touch your own.

And there is amazing healing that happens, when we do the work of honoring.

How It Works

This program was first delivered in this format a year and a half ago, when I invited men and women to give the gift of honoring to their romantic partner for Christmas.

It was hugely successful by the participants accounts, and I will be sharing some of the participants success stories.

The outcome of the program is an "Honor Letter" written to the person you are honoring. The value of the program is in learning how to deeply connect with this person and "see" them in a way that will deeply touch them.

Over a series of conference calls, we discuss how vitally important the feeling of Honor is for a relationship, and the things that get in the way of others feeling this from us, how to generate this feeling, etc.

We will write and share letters, and I will provide feedback and suggestions for editing.

Prepare to be inspired again and again by the stories and letters of other participants, and previous participants. Prepare to learn the skill of honoring--a skill you can share with your loved ones for the rest of your life!

We're Starting Now.. Join Us!

Join anytime between June 14th and the 21st (Father's Day), and continue through mid-July 2011.

The program is very flexible, so you can participate as much or as little as you like.
