Joshua Cogan-JourneyMen Guide & Co-Founder
Joshua is a Emmy Award winning photographer, and anthropologist who has traveled to over 60 countries studying and documenting culture, community and ritual. He is also a practiced mindfulness instructor who has studied under renowned teachers Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield and recently graduating their three year training program.
He was first drawn to mindfulness and mens work through his documentary work, using mindfulness as a way of working with the emotional effects of trauma he experienced and witnessed while on assignment. He has found that deeper awareness serves for finding points of connection and shared understanding with cultures throughout the world.
Joshua deeply believes that to create systemic change in the world, bringing men into deeper relationship with each other and with their owned shared vulnerability is required.
Manny Manuel
Manny is a 24-year military veteran and clinical social worker specializing in working with those who have experienced trauma. When Manny was transitioning into civilian life after military deployments, he discovered the life-changing power of yoga and mindfulness as a healing modality for trauma. Emanuel is proudly embracing his role as a healer, mentor, and leader in the healing arts and is frequently called upon to utilize his unique skill set to provide trauma-sensitive workshops and retreats in a variety of settings. Manny’s practice is rooted in the philosophy of empowering people. He views healing as a collective effort, reframing culture as a central feature in well-being.
Aqeel Yaseen
The last 15 years the practice of yoga and mindfulness have helped me work with the rich fertilizer of grief, anger, sadness, depression, boredom, and all the other 10.000 joys and sorrows of being human. In teaching thousands of classes, several retreats, working with children, teens, and adults of all abilities, what I have learned is that cultivating compassion, and opening to the myriad of relationships that come and go in life is the most powerful salve for the wounds of our world. Tenderness towards our own vulnerability and mortality reminds us that we are all equal participants in our shared short visit to this world. I feel a great sense of joy in watching others explore and recognize the depth of their own inner wisdom.
