Owen Marcus

Co-Founder of MELD

In an era where emotional intelligence often takes a backseat, Owen Marcus emerges as a groundbreaking advocate. With 40 years dedicated to the nuances of mindfulness and emotional physiology, he’s not just knowledgeable but visionary.

Confronting the enduring stereotype of the emotionally reserved male, Owen crafts a fresh narrative. He posits emotional fluency not as a learned trait but as an intrinsic aspect of maleness. His work dives beneath the surface, illuminating the labyrinthine emotional tapestry woven into the very fabric of the male psyche.

His insights are showcased in the documentary About Men. Meanwhile, his book Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence goes beyond superficial counsel. It serves as a comprehensive guide, paving the way for authentic, deep-rooted connections.

In his role as Co-founder and creator of the EVRYMAN Method and now co-founder of MELD, Owen’s impact resonates beyond individual men. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Men’s Health, GQ, and ABC News. His pioneering Regenerative Relationship system urges us to reconsider vulnerability, framing it not as a frailty but as the bedrock of enduring relationships. His coed trainings authentically connect men and women in ways they didn’t believe possible..

In a society still wrestling with outdated definitions of masculinity, Owen Marcus offers a vital lifeline. It’s not just a call for men to be more emotionally available; it’s a call for everyone to recognize and celebrate emotional complexity as an inherent part of the human experience. It’s a call to connect.
