Preface: Violence is never acceptable.

Yes! Women do commit violence against men and children, however, the statistics of harm demonstrate that violence against women and children has far higher individual and social impacts. One woman every week on average dies in Australia as a result of domestic violence, often at the hands of a partner or ex-partner.

This is a message for all men, both young and old; like it or not, an awakening is happening.

Women are done hurting.

Women have grown tired of patriarchal dominion and are making their voices heard.

Our world needs open men,

Men who show compassion and empathy, instead of acting out in anger and judgement.

Our world needs open men,

Men open to denouncing sexual objectification in favour of showing respect and humility.

Our world needs open men,

Men open to preventing others from subjugating women and promoting a more inclusive society.

Our world needs open men,

Men who stop confusing self-love with self-obsession.

Our world needs more men nurturing the Divine Feminine within themselves.

Men need to stop playing into the hands of sexist institutions which no longer serve our spiritual well-being.

Our world needs more men listening to TOOL, reading Kahlil Gibran and developing a daily meditation practice.

Our world needs open men, present in the here and now, open to life and open to change.

Our world needs open men,

Men open to returning to the sacredness of our God-given purpose.

Our purpose is love, and through love, you can heal your hurt.

Are you willing to open up the doors to your soul?

Are you up for the challenge?

Our world needs you!
