‘Every man dies; not every man truly lives’

William Wallace


Let us TURN GOOD MEN INTO BETTER MEN


AWAKEN WARRIOR CODE OF HONOR

  • COURAGE - French Origin ; take HEART
  • TRIBE UP
  • KING
  • PRIEST
  • WARRIOR

Brotherhood - We are stronger together.


"This is why I do men's work regularly. This is why I am stepping into leadership more and more. This is why I love surrounding myself with men on a similar path to me. A path of the heart. A shared willingness to be vulnerable and open up." Cobus Visser, founder of "Awaken Man"


We don't need to fight our inner and outer battles alone.

We should

  • support each other, and raise each other up.
  • learn how to open up and receive love and support from others.
  • celebrate each other, and what makes us beautiful humans.
  • hold each other accountable, and help one another live a life of deeper integrity.
  • lovingly call each other forward in areas where we are not showing up.
  • encourage each other to be better men.


This we do for our partners, children, family, friends, and the community at large.

This we do for the earth.

This we do for generations to come, who will stand on our shoulders, and learn from the changes we are making in this world right NOW.

This we do for brotherhood.


WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS

LAT. "nanos gigantum humeris insidentes"

*****************************************************************************************************************


My name is Cobus Visser – self-proclaimed (but also backed by a few thousand, ha) Superman of South Africa.

I was born with Haemophilia. I was bed ridden for most of my life. I couldn’t pick up or hold my children when they were born or play sports with them when they got older. Survived 3 Brain hemorrhages in my life that almost took my life, I could never participate in group activities and was isolated from many challenges in life because of the challenge my body was to me.

 

I went through a divorce recently, my sons are living 1 000km away from me with their mother , my joints started disintegrating, I have developed Hepatitis C and I can’T sing very well – the last one I had to throw in there before you thought this was a pity party. 

It is not. It is me celebrating life and wanting others to experience what I do with the help of what I have to offer.

 

I have been in the darkest of dark places in my 35+ years. 

I have felt isolated and alone and I have cried more times than I can count even when it is told to us that ‘boys don’t cry.’

I have defeated all odds and climbed to the summit of mount Kilimanjaro.

I walk over fire and I inspire others to do the same.

I wake up every morning struggling to get out of bed but I end every night with a smile on my face after the work I have done that day.

 

I am a Mental Strength Coach and I wish to get involved with men who struggle with their mental health, who struggle with their ‘mountain’ – and help them climb it step for step with me and many supporters by their side.
