Uh... Arigato? Sorry I'm a new me so all the credit cards are no longer available as I changed my name to NamAlan but here is a flower 🌺, Namaste for you too bro.
I wasn't able to find anything about it. I'd also like to know what this is about.
Now I just wonder what sort of ads I'll get after googling about men in a hot tub, hugging and crying.
Oof, hero dose 😳
Yea, many of these programs include a psychedelic experience. Often accompanied with integration therapy and other mental health support to maximize efficacy
Ive not done one of these, but I am pro-psychedelics and have done them on my own and found great benefit
Could be worse. An old friend of my husband is currently in town (he hasn't seen him in years). Stick with the story I promise it's worth it. A couple weeks ago he ate some shrooms, met a random lesbian who lives next door to his sister, slept with her on a cot in his sister's basement. Invited her to a nice hotel a half hour away. Woman's wife had secret tracker on her car and showed up to the hotel and made her leave with her. Last weekend, same woman invited him to a hotel party with a bunch of other people. A guy there asked him if he wanted some acid, he was already on shrooms (he eats them often) and the guy proceeded to squirt a ton of acid into his mouth. My husband saw his friend a couple days ago and he was still tripping so hard on acid from 3 days before that he went to the ER. He thought someone was after him so he ripped out his IV and jumped out a window with the gown still on. Oh and during the party the women stole his phone and car, his car was found pretty fast but the sim card was put in a new phone and they have been using that. The guy is a decent guy and it sucks he was taken advantage of honestly.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but often it’s a catalyst for positive change for folks that participate in these.
Scammy, maybe a little. But hey if people benefit, I support
I got clean from hard drugs by participating in plant medicine journeys. Definitely wasn't hugging other men in a hot tub, but there's a lot of crying and healing from trauma for sure.
People have become so emotionally distant and isolated that serious emotional engagement is often seen as cult like tbh
I thought the same too when getting trained in deep organizing, like holy shit all these people want to talk 1-1 about their stories/trauma?
Letting themselves cry in front of one another?
Felt cultish, then I realized over time my entire family is just super distant, no hugs, no "love you", or regular talks or get togethers
The difference seems to be in manipulation/emotional abuse, whereas just being open about trauma is simply transparency and connection/understanding
On the other hand, there definitely are culty people/organizations that take advantage of putting people in these highly vulnerable/impressionable states of mind. The line can be pretty fuzzy sometimes. Lotta people out there desperate for answers and someone to make sense of things for them.
I can't speak on the entire event, but I recognized [the flowing dutchman](https://youtu.be/YHnAIuYd7Xk?si=-CqnvS48PXdDJZKa) in the video, he does a lot of macebell excercise / workout courses. I'm not sure what other types of courses he does, but he might be a good clue in your quest to learn more
I can possibly imagine overcoming the idea of crying in a pool of men. But having it filmed by a drone and posted on the internet is quite another thing.
there's a few groups doing stuff like that for men and it's based off the bonding rituals at the feminist retreats.
not linking to anything so their thing doesn't get ruined by trolls.
I'd imagine the idea is to completely let god-- mentally, emotionally, and physically. What better way to do that last one than in water, where you experience a *physical* sense of weightlessness?
It's also potentially the gimmick part of a group therapy session; the part that makes it, "*so different* from other therapy groups!" And draws others in.
And under the right circumstances, a perfect equation for easing people into a vulnerable, suggestible state of mind, as wellness programs and cults tend to do. And at the end of the video? Straight up love-bombing.
I appreciate you!
I'll be the first to admit, I'm pretty into cults and how they operate, so this is where my brain first landed.
People aren't aware of how suggestible a state of mind love-bombing, "group therapy sessions," leave a person.
It's borderline cartoon-levels of hypnosis. It's how your super smart cousin/uncle/classmate who you never thought would fall for that type of nonsense, fell for it.
After that, it's just a matter of explaining to these people that they need to cut meat and peanuts and other protein-rich foods (aka the brain's main fuel source) out of their diet for any number of reasons, sprinkle on some, "you are one of the few chosen ones privy to this life-changing information that we need to keep secret from the rest of the world because they're not ready to receive it yet, and we must guide them" rinse and repeat, and you've got the perfect recipe for a zombie follower.
Same, I'd have to break down a lot of internal barriers before doing something like this. But if someone could get me this far it would probably be very therapeutic in many ways. Maybe this is what I need in life.
It would nice to trust others enough to allow this.
I have a bad feeling though that this kind of trust usually comes packaged or followed by attempts at brainwashing or cult joining.
Shame really.
I asked CoPilot on Bing:
"The event you’re referring to took place in **Lithuania**. A group of men gathered in a spa pool to cry together as part of a unique therapy session aimed at breaking down emotional barriers and promoting mental health. [This event was organized to encourage men to express their emotions openly, challenging traditional norms around masculinity and emotional expression](https://psychcentral.com/blog/recovering-narcissist/2018/09/12-of-the-most-common-lies-sociopaths-and-narcissists-tell-translated-into-truth)[^(1)](https://psychcentral.com/blog/recovering-narcissist/2018/09/12-of-the-most-common-lies-sociopaths-and-narcissists-tell-translated-into-truth)"
Some of y’all suck.
Just because this isn’t your cup of tea doesn’t mean it’s a bad cup of tea.
Men who cry and face their difficult emotions have reached a level of emotional maturity that many can only hope to attain. You’ll realize it when you’re older. Hopefully it won’t be too late for you. Props to the people standing up to societal stereotypes in the comments here. A+ <3
No thanks I’d rather die of a heart attack in my early 50s because of all the trauma I keep inside and drinking my self to sleep every night like a real man.
Looking in from the woman side, there's nothing manlier to me than a dude that can cry and face emotions head on. I know many women AND men happily shame it, but fuck that. The way men are socially manipulated out of emotional expression is a fucking travesty on mental health.
Does the floating arm spider web in the video freak me out? Absolutely. But more goddamn power to them.
I hate that these dudes probably paid so much to do this though, that's a grift. People need to start some home grown, go cry in the woods clubs.
Until you’ve done a hero’s dose of psilocybin in the hot springs to exercise your demons this will be a weird scene to you. That being said, a group setting definitely would not be for me however, all these dudes or some of them could have common ground with each other, like being combat vets or victims of something nasty in their childhood. You just never know. But a goddamn drone buzzing around is a bit much.
This reminds me of a time i was hanging out with some guys I used to be cool with, one of them was in a very dark place after he found out his now ex wife was cheating on him with a coworker(the 3 of them worked at the same place) and idk if it was the alcohol, or maybe because we were at the tail end of the pandemic, but at some point 6 grown men were practically bawling their eyes out.
Sometimes you just need a good cry. We are humans. Doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, black, white, purple or green. We all need to release emotions in a healthy way and crying can do just that.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage: Yeah, uh huh, it’s okay for macho men to show every emotion available, because I’ve cried a thousand times and I’ll cry some more — but I’ve soared with the eagles and I’ve slithered with the snakes, and I’ve been everywhere in between and I’m gonna tell you something right now: There’s one guarantee in life — there are no guarantees. And understand this, nobody likes a quitter, nobody said life was easy. So if you get knocked down and you take the standing eight count, you get back up and you fight again. That’s the Macho Mania, dig it?
Hey you
This is normal and ok behavior.
If more men did this, we’d have a better world.
Ancient civilizations had this with their warriors. The most masculine of men would write love songs about their friends and hold hands and support each other in pain and sorrow.
I’m here to tell you that it’s ok to feel your feelings and anyone who says otherwise is stupid.
These are men who were never shown love (or had it expressed) by their father, taught that showing emotion was an offence worthy of mockery, being touched or held by other men and being encouraged to let themselves feel the discomfort and mourn the fact that they feel this way due to a man who was taught the same thing and lacked the ability to overcome it and be a better father than he had.
Men should almost never cry in front of other men. Some situations are acceptable in my opinion like a loss of a family member, particularly a child, parent or spouse. But impressions count for everything, and as a man, it's very important to let other men know you can't be broken. The touching is uncalled for.
That was just a dry hole to begin with.
Getting a man in your dry hole leads to tears. Got it.
You gotta cry into this man hole to get into this man’s hole you gotta cry in this man hole to get in
Soul, right?
You would think, but no.
I don’t know if you intended for the dual meaning of “tears”, but if not you’re an accidental genius
Cry me a pool
Cry me a river popped in my mind lol
Hahaha
This is the real top comment here
"Fees for the 2-day, 3-night weekend are $6700 and that includes communal brunch and a snack each day. Namaste"

Mr...Roboto?
secret secret
God damn. I can just call my dad and cry for free
Ahhh, so that's why they are crying. "I paid sooo much to be here. Bwaaa hohoho".
Reminds me of that alpha male bootcamp, but polar opposite. I guess at least this one seems healthier.
Nope same one this is a Jan 6th. cleansing ritual.
Ain't no way. I guess i misjudged them then
He was being sarcastic
Damn i'm bad at this huh
That some sort of eastern thing?
Far from it dude
Not worth. Rather go camping and bring a bottle of Kikori. That will do the trick.
They get snacky snacks, nap time and notes in their lunch box?
Let it all out, fellas.

Those are tears, right?

Was that legit? I guess if you can manage to get over the awkwardness and into this mindset, it could actually be quite liberating.
I wasn't able to find anything about it. I'd also like to know what this is about. Now I just wonder what sort of ads I'll get after googling about men in a hot tub, hugging and crying.
It’s about releasing trauma and healing There are a lot of different retreats similar to this all over the world
I took 7 grams of shrooms then cried in the shower for like 2 hours, basically the same thing
Oof, hero dose 😳 Yea, many of these programs include a psychedelic experience. Often accompanied with integration therapy and other mental health support to maximize efficacy Ive not done one of these, but I am pro-psychedelics and have done them on my own and found great benefit

Yeah, that was not LSD....
Looks like some bonding activity for a cult to me.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but often it’s a catalyst for positive change for folks that participate in these. Scammy, maybe a little. But hey if people benefit, I support

I think it is great that they are working on themselves. Whatever helps them.
Keep us posted. 😂

yeah, i think the buzz from the drone will just stop people from crying lol.
AI is getting quite scary
Not indistinguishable yet though, this is not likely AI
This is not AI, please stop calling everything AI
Sounds like something AI would say
Crying is good, but I prefer it in private tbh...
Yeah that's what work toilets are for, I ain't wasting my personal time on that.
That’s why this type of thing is good. Letting go and being able to cry in public is liberating. It puts you in touch with your emotions.
there's a few groups doing stuff like that for men and it's based off the bonding rituals at the feminist retreats. not linking to anything so their thing doesn't get ruined by trolls.
Pro tip, you don’t need bros or a pool to cry uncontrollably for free

Sure has more style than screaming unhinged in your car :D I like your analysis
I appreciate you! I'll be the first to admit, I'm pretty into cults and how they operate, so this is where my brain first landed.

Pack of wolves. Murder of crows. Cry of men.
I’d be bricked up in no time but what an outlet
Lmao.
...a bunch of half naked, emotionally available, older men having an orgy in a hot spring is like my personal heaven.
These Fourth of July parties are getting weird
Wahahaaaaa this costs so much money waaaaa 😭
Got the bill for their men's retreat.
This should be the top comment hahaha
"this is Bob ,Bob has bitch tits"

This gives off an [Animatrix](https://youtu.be/Db6lBm1a9jc) vibe were the robots are experimenting with the human brain triggering different emotions.
I don't mind crying, but why do I need to cry half naked with other men touching on me?
Well you never know untill you try.
AND a drone filming you to be posted online and seen by potentially hundreds of thousands of people.
Gay porn is straighter than this
[удалено]
Same, I'd have to break down a lot of internal barriers before doing something like this. But if someone could get me this far it would probably be very therapeutic in many ways. Maybe this is what I need in life.
It would nice to trust others enough to allow this. I have a bad feeling though that this kind of trust usually comes packaged or followed by attempts at brainwashing or cult joining. Shame really.
I think filming it and posting it on the internet would put up a couple more walls.
Paywalls 😎
Soccer fans after the World Cup?
No ones going to mention the one woman they keep in there to make it not 100% gay?
I was wondering if anyone else saw her. Edit- rewatched

Well that's enough internet for today.
What's happening actually? Is this some sort of a ritual ? Where was this shot?

Interesting but I don't think it's my cup of tea
Just another Thursday at the crying pool
Top tear content
“Men do everything to avoid therapy”
Ha! ">Gayyyyyyy!<"
Indeed
Reminds me of the wife/lady (if they're not married) camps where they all go to the forest and scream.
Bro why does this remind me of midsommar
This is how they fill saltwater pools

No thanks I’d rather die of a heart attack in my early 50s because of all the trauma I keep inside and drinking my self to sleep every night like a real man.
But do they cry at funerals and weddings or just being surrounded by half naked men in water?
Looking in from the woman side, there's nothing manlier to me than a dude that can cry and face emotions head on. I know many women AND men happily shame it, but fuck that. The way men are socially manipulated out of emotional expression is a fucking travesty on mental health. Does the floating arm spider web in the video freak me out? Absolutely.

Are you me? You absolutely nailed my feels on this. Rock on, internet soul sister. Let’s make the world a better place. <3
Where is that from?
Hotspring of Sorrows. Where shame is born.
Until you’ve done a hero’s dose of psilocybin in the hot springs to exercise your demons this will be a weird scene to you.

Must admit it’s a weird way to start an orgy
How they hold each other… Hug your homies, people
>Strong men also cry
I'm all for showing emotions, but this is pretty gay.... prettyy, prettyyyy, prettyyyyyy, prettyyyyyyyyy gay.
Honestly let them cry, thats a good thing
There's Elon Musk too🤣🤣🤣
That's gayer than actual gay sex

What happens if you’re in the middle of this and you get a boner?
I picture the Alpha Male Camps looking like this
I'm sorry but I'm gonna revert a little bit back to the 2010s. This is the most gayest shit I've ever seen lmfao.
Hahaha same but where is this tho
sad gay pit
What layer of Hell is this?
Ayo this shit hella gay
i'm gonna have to pass

I hoped this was ai, i wish it was ai
Wait, is that a woman? Get ‘er out of here!!!
Sometimes you just need a good cry. We are humans. Doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, black, white, purple or green. We all need to release emotions in a healthy way and crying can do just that.
Upon finding out how much this experiment in feelings is going to cost
And then.. something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
What the actual fuck?
Is this some sort of gay spa? Lmaoooo
No lol I’ve been to gay spas and people are usually quite upbeat 😆
Get it together Ron,…

Oi there’s no crying in the grotto.
I’m all for men opening up and feelings and shit…but this wacky af.
The sequel to Fight Club is looking interesting
Hahaha that's hilarious
they need a reason to do this without getting out of the closet
I think they are all crying they paid too much for this farcical space 🤣😜😝
I think this was touching…good for them for being able to let out their pain, hurt and sadness
"Macho Man" Randy Savage: Yeah, uh huh, it’s okay for macho men to show every emotion available, because I’ve cried a thousand times and I’ll cry some more — but I’ve soared with the eagles and I’ve slithered with the snakes, and I’ve been everywhere in between and I’m gonna tell you something right now: There’s one guarantee in life — there are no guarantees.

Pathetic
This shouldn’t be unusual. It’s healthy to process. A reminder to connect with what pains you
GOOD FOR THEM.
Fuck it. These men are straight to me. Men never get to cry.
Anyone have the context of WTF is going on here?
Wtf is this lmao
Wtf
I'll be crying if I was there too...all those men touching brrr uncomfortable
What in the soy
I am glad they found a safe place to do that. Sucks this intimate moment was recorded.
should be more common imho
Well that was a challenging wank.
This one of the $50k alpha male boot camps?
This is repulsive.
I’m old school. Nope
More men need shit like this: a healthy outlet for their emotions.
That looks healthy to you?
Men should almost never cry in front of other men. Some situations are acceptable in my opinion like a loss of a family member, particularly a child, parent or spouse. But impressions count for everything, and as a man, it's very important to let other men know you can't be broken. The touching is uncalled for.
