A Meditation Course For Fatherless Men & Women

With Andre Small

This meditation course is designed specifically for men who have grown up without a father figure. However, it will still be applicable and beneficial for women without a father figure. Through guided meditations and reflective practices, we'll explore the impact of this absence, work through grief, and develop tools for self-fathering and defining your own masculinity. Remember, while it's not your fault you didn't have a father, it is your responsibility to shape your life moving forward.

The content was well compelling but poorly executed. The audio transitions were abrupt and distracting. There were edit moments where you could hear slivers of other audio was cut out, cut over to one channel (left) vs the other (right), or change of background music, most weren’t smooth or didn’t sound intentional. Secondly, even though I did have a father, he was absent emotionally. I listened anyway out of curiosity as absence of strong parental figures is key to my healing. I felt that the practice could have much wider appeal than how it’s focused today. Consider a title adjustment.
