Rebirth: A Warm-Water Practice with Aizhan Kadyr

REBIRTH — A Warm-Water Practice What might it feel like to pause, receive support and meet yourself with a little less judgment? Rebirth is an intimate, guided warm-water practice with psychologist and coach Aizhan Kadyr. In a small group of no more than three participants, we will explore the themes of support, trust and a new beginning through embodied experience and reflection. A NEW BEGINNING The practice draws on symbolic imagery of conception, prenatal life and birth as metaphors for beginning again. It is an invitation to explore what these images evoke in the present—not a claim to recover factual prenatal memories or rewrite the past. WHAT WE WILL EXPLORE • Receiving support and noticing how it feels to trust. • Becoming more attentive to bodily sensations and personal boundaries. • Recognizing self-judgment and exploring a kinder relationship with yourself. • Giving personal meaning to the idea of a new beginning for body, mind and soul. This gathering is for those curious about a reflective, body-centered experience in warm water. You are invited to approach it at your own pace, communicate your boundaries and share only what feels comfortable. Experiences differ from person to person; no particular emotional outcome is promised. YOUR FACILITATOR Aizhan Kadyr is a psychologist with 16 years of experience and a Master Coach (ICU). She will guide the practice and the exploration of its themes. EVENT DETAILS Date: Thursday, October 22, 2026 Gathering: 8:30 AM Practice: 9:00–11:00 AM All times are Pacific Time. Venue: 1008 Carolan Ave, Burlingame, CA 94010 Participation: $200 per person, payable on site Group size: 3 participants maximum Bring: a swimsuit and towel (required) Questions: Olga on Telegram https://t.me/Olgabazaleva

An Authentic, Trusting & Powerful Men's Circle

Many of us arrive at MDI looking for something. At this point in our lives we have had several challenges. Some that have made us better, some that have rocked the foundation of everything we know and experience in our daily lives. We have felt isolated, alone, burdened, broken even. I was unsure that anything outside of me could hold solutions, or that it was possible for me to learn new ways of being that would connect me with other men-that I could find a place where I could develop into mature masculinity to be able to not only solve some of my problems, but learn how to lead teams of men. This begs a question: How is the world better off with Mature Masculine Leadership, and what is in it for me? Here are a few answers. If your interest is peaked, consider reaching out to us, claim your future... The world is significantly better off with **Mature Masculine Leaders** because such leadership brings a balanced, grounded, and principled approach to power, responsibility, and service. Here's how this benefits society: Mature masculine leaders typically embody **emotional regulation, self-mastery, and integrity**. This creates more stable governments, organizations, and families. These leaders don’t react impulsively or let ego drive decisions—they respond with clarity, long-term thinking, and accountability. *They become anchors in chaos.* The benefit to the world is **transformational**. Mature masculine leaders don't just govern—they **mentor, stabilize, and serve**. Their presence often leads to safer societies, stronger institutions, healthier families, and more cohesive communities. When men lead from maturity, not insecurity or domination, **everyone—regardless of gender—thrives.** Mentor Discover Inspire (MDI) is an international men's organization. You can also [visit our website ](https://www.mentordiscoverinspire.org/) to find out more about us. There is a form there which can help find an MDI Team in your area. If you fill out the form we will get back to you about starting the process of joining an MDI Team.
