About Conscious Dads and Adam Brewer

Conscious Dads

The mission of Conscious Dads is to provide parents with the education, tools, self-care and support to practice calm, present and co-creative parenting. The work we will do is an integration of spirit, science, psychology and philosophy and it provides you with a framework from which you can flourish in parenthood. In short, I’m here to help you awaken to the conscious, positive parent you were born to be!

Conscious Dads was established in 2018 and is all about empowering fathers with mind, body & soul practices/tools to embolden them to become the most loving, present, and connected father possible.

Tools for TRANSFORMATION & EVOLUTION will include: 

  • Meditation

  • Conscious Community

  • High Conversation

  • Sacred Service

There is a kinder, gentler way.

Conscious Dads recognize the miraculous nature of LIFE and the GIFT that it is to be a FATHER. As such, they treat the role as SACRED. Conscious Dads feel divinely inspired to father from PRESENCE, CO-CREATION and LOVE.

Conscious Dads practice an integrated approach to parenting. We acknowledge that there is not a one sized fits all when it comes to parenthood. To that end, our “style” is one that has a neuro-biological basis and draws on the best from a number of approaches, including connected parenting, polyvagal parenting, conscious parenting, gentle parenting, and positive parenting.

We see ourselves as multi-dimensional beings...mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. And are willing to work on evolving all of these aspects of self, and incorporate this into how we parent, so as to live as INTEGRATED fathers and beings on planet earth.

Conscious Dads are willing to UNLEARN and RETHINK ancestral patterns of fathering that have been passed down from one generation to the next. From here, they are open to establish their own mindfully masculine approach to parenting. 

It's here that we live in awe & wonder, free to become more of who we were meant to be as parents and mentors to our children.

We are are stable & rooted, yet ever-expanding and growing.

Conscious Dads are brave & courageous enough to admit our fears and yet take action in the face of them.

We are not afraid to “fail”.

We are Dads who are wise enough to stop fighting fire with fire. Rather we are like water...adaptable & fluid.

We are Service-Oriented.

We live as men who aren’t afraid to cry; who listen more than they speak; who are spacious, safe, joyful, expansive, and present. We are GRATEFUL, INTENTIONAL and  EVER-EVOLVING.

The Top 12 Tenets To Father By As Conscious Dads:

  1. Make fatherhood sacred

  2. Lead with love

  3. Connect before you correct

  4. Cocreate rather than dominate

  5. Model what you want your kids to mirror

  6. Raise sovereign beings, not mini-mes

  7. Recognize our children are our teachers as much as we are theirs

  8. Be growth-centric…keep going, growing and unfolding

  9. Be an unwavering force for good in your child’s life

  10. Admit your mistakes/apologize, learn from them, then be better

  11. Allow yourself to feel the highs, lows and everything in between

  12. Practice self-care early and often

We do the work on ourselves because we fully understand that if you want to see it, you must be it. That is, if we want to raise "integrated" children who are kind, caring, loving, confident, joyful, generous, resourceful, compassionate, helpful, empathetic, playful, creative, peaceful, inclusive, and philanthropic, we MUST first embody and exemplify these very same qualities ourselves.

Adam Brewer

Hi, I'm Adam Brewer. Professionally speaking I'm an entrepreneur in the health & wellness space who wears many hats...I am a Conscious Evolution Coach, Meditation Teacher (Creator of 3-Minute Meditations and Meditate With Ease), Breathwork Coach, Yoga Instructor], and Mindful Movement Specialist (Creator of Sunrise Sweat). Currently I work as Lead Wellness Specialist at the Four Seasons Resort Oahu in Ko Olina and Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Le Jardin Academy in Kailua, Oahu. I've been in the Wellness space since 1990 and flat-out love what I do.

Personally speaking, I'm a partner to my beautiful love and soulmate Liz and a father to our exquisite 5 yr old son Skye. We live on the beautiful island of Oahu about a 1/4 mile from the beach with our 2 dogs Nalu and Faith.

I love soccer, guitar, being in nature, creating silly songs to sing to Skye, laughing out loud, meditating, yoga, working out, taking ice-baths, breathwork, rock-climbing, surfing, contemplating the meaning of life, looking up at the stars at night, Pearl Jam and Justin Beiber just the same (yes I just said that in public), watching Grey's Anatomy, stories of redemption, pancakes, the aroma of a summertime BBQ, and Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

My road to becoming a self-proclaimed kick-ass, conscious Dad was a rocky one.

In fact I resisted it with every fiber of my being. So much so that It lead to a full-on breakdown. 

I can tell you this; the darkness was necessary and essential for me to find the Light that exists within all of us and to experience the totality of the gift of living as a human "being". So many blessings have come from my descent into the dark. Not the least of which is that I know I have found my calling.

The real "crazy" part about my story, is this; that which I was resisting the most was that which I was meant to do and be on this planet. I can say to you without a shadow of a doubt in my body, mind and soul, that I was destined to be a Dad.

And not just any dad, but a Conscious Dad. A dad who is peaceful, passionate, patient, present, playful and loving. Throw in being kind, understanding, strong, flexible, forgiving, compassionate and supportive and you've got what I aspire to be each and every day for Skye, Liz and life.

Do I fall short from time to time? You bet I do. And you're gonna hear about it. Because my intention is to be as transparent, honest, real and raw with you.

Do I consider myself a parenting expert? Not even remotely, but I am constantly learning and leaning into my emerging edge. I hope to be able to support you in doing the same.

For far to long, I kept so much of who I actually was just out of frame so I could appear strong, stable and "flawless". It's my belief far too many men do this, and it's a recipe for disaster.

It's time for men, in particular Dads, to be the way-showers for our children, as to what it means to be emotionally intelligent enough to be strong yet soft, firm yet gentle, driven yet flexible, stable yet vulnerable, confident yet humble. We're talking about 'integrated, mindful parenting'. In short, my goal is to create a new "frequency" for fatherhood.

 

In the 30 years I've been in the fitness/wellness industry, I've been blessed to work with clients of all walks of life. And I have had the good fortune to work with companies such as Turner Broadcasting, Amazon, Runner’s World, Men’s Fitness, and been featured in numerous ads and commercials for companies such as adidas, Nike, New Balance, Champion and Gatorade.

I guess you could say, I’ve been around the block a few times.

But after years of searching, I know in my bones I’ve found my True North, I’m living on purpose in the most important job of my life…BEING A DAD.

Of all the accomplishments/titles/roles I’ve had, this is by far the one I’m most proud of.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

Cheers, Adam
