Assistants & Other Team Members
Assistants at our trainings are often former participants of Emergence Brotherhood retreats who return back to support brothers embarking on their journey.
A core team is forming from former participants who now assist Emergence Brotherhood with integration calls, organising new retreats and marketing among other things.
Our team is a brotherhood first, making it so powerful.
This is a living example of the change we want to see in the world.
Emergence Brotherhood Timeline
When Emergence Brotherhood was fruits on the tree of life, Bruce Lyon created his first and only men’s work retreat in 2018 at the behest of the late Taki'h Dhyandeepa Antigoni.
Taki'h held a deep longing that men could go beyond the traditional men’s work models to meet as souls serving the planetary evolution. Graham Gough was a member of that field and felt love for and belonging between men for the first time in his life. At the end of the retreat, Bruce handed the group the syllabus he created. This would later inspire Emergence Brotherhood: The Initiation.
Emergence Brotherhood was formed in 2021 due to a 'Dark Seeds' process following The Temple Training: Ray 1/7 online. Fresh from co-facilitating said training, Robbie Griffin was a core member of this men’s work group process.
The plan was a triad of men's work groups running online courses in Europe, the US, and Australia working in region-specific online groups while uniting for larger group transmissions from Bruce Lyon and elders in the field.
The European group was formed by Robbie Griffin and Dom Bury of the UK. Later, Dom invited Nemanja Sonero to join and form a triad. The US group was formed by Spencer Jacobson, Atilla Çıdam, and Blake Zealer. The Australian group didn't gain traction and so it became a Euro-American adventure.
The course was initiated during coronavirus and ran concurrently with The Temple Training Ray 2/1 at Highden, Samothraki, and Nikkila Temple in Finland.
Later, in 2022, Dom Bury left the European group and Graham Gough stepped in. The first in-person retreat landed in July 2022 across four days at Samsara Retreat Centre in the UK.
The Initiation first found form across seven days at Hidden Paradise, Spain, in September 2022.
Five years from its inception, Emergence Brotherhood is 20+ trainings deep.
The emerging masculine spirit is rising from the deepest places of every soul, and we are here to support the emergence through men.
