Ade on Consciousness

In this grounded and transformative conversation from the Black Men’s Emotional Wellness Symposium, Ade Osinaike shares his personal journey of conscious relationship, breathwork, and emotional integration. From “spinning the block” with presence to exploring semen retention and accountability within men’s groups, Ade unpacks the power of slowing down and tuning in.

This episode centers the breath as a gateway to identity, emotional maturity, and embodiment—reminding Black men that their healing doesn’t require force, but rather the willingness to be with what’s real. It’s a vulnerable, powerful look at what it means to be fully present in your body and in your relationships.
