Amir Khalighi
Born in Tehran, Iran, and raised by a single mother, his perspective of life during his early years was observed through the prism of the feminine, with no mature masculine figure to learn from nor lean on until his early 20s. His natural inclination for separation from that dynamic was a destructive one from the age of 19 to 22. At 23, he found his first men’s group, where elders exemplified what it meant to be a mature masculine in the world. His journey into self-actualization started during his college years with studies in the fields of existential philosophy and comparative religious studies. His work with men started at the age of 23. Through his 20s and 30s, he worked with hundreds of men centered around addictive behaviors and also through the discipline of martial arts. Subsequently, his work has matured and now encompasses Jungian archetypal, somatic healing, Shamanism, and embodiment methodology. His passion in the field of men’s work has been most influenced by mythopoetic men’s work, Sufi mysticism, yogic intimacy, Celtic mythology, Shamanism, Hermeticism, Western esotericism & Jungian archetypal psychology (see our lineage page for a deeper look). He has dedicated his life and purpose to connecting men to "The Great Mother" (the feminine expression of the Divinity (The manifest) and empowering these men to live in alignment with their soul's calling in order to live purpose-driven lives... helping them embody their natural, God-given masculine energies in a new emerging paradigm of masculinity, balanced in relationship to their feminine counterparts. Most of the men that make their way to Amir did not have a positive masculine role model that they could rely on growing up... men with wounds of the absent father. “We teach what we’ve overcome.” His work spans over 30 years in men's work and private coaching. With the founding of Embodied Masculine™ in 2018, he has expanded his message and unique approach to men's work into transformative workshops, group coaching, initiation programs (MWI), and facilitator training programs (TFTP). He has been invited as a guest speaker, keynote speaker & lead facilitator for various men’s groups and retreats worldwide. His writing can be found in various publications, and his message can be heard on podcasts and conferences such as the Embodiment Conference. Amir is also the founder of BelovedPoetry.com, where he renders the works of such masters as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, Hafiz, Pablo Neruda, and more. He has worked with many men from all walks of life, from high-caliber Fortune 500 CEOs, influencers, and artists to young men starting on their path. He is a teacher, coach, speaker, artist, and poet. He is married to the love of his life, Keri, and is the father to two daughters and two love-daughters (stepdaughters).
