About Us

Positive Masculinity is a non-profit that engages folks in the work of dismantling toxic and traditional masculinity and works to create a healthier model of masculinity for ALL people. I am also on the presetgious Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau

I teach on gender socialization for all people. Helping folks re-examine the way they were socialized around how to walk through this word as a man or woman as a conscious adult to determine if that still serves them well today. Then I help folks look at the parts that no longer serve them well and are not helping them thrive and replace those with something healthier for them today.

This is deep reflective work that is empowering and freeing. I published my book "Positive Masculinity Now" in 2022 which available on Amazon. This book recently won an International Impact Award.

I do this work through writing, coaching, teaching workshops to corporations, universities, spiritual groups and conferences. I am also a lifetime martial artist - former US Karate team member and teach community based safety and self-defense workshops to empower all people!

Read more "I had the pleasure of working alongside Gwenn Cody as co-teachers at a retreat, and I also had the opportunity to participate in a few of her classes. Gwenn is a thoughtful, knowledgeable therapist and facilitator who brings both depth and presence to every space she holds. What stands out most about Gwenn is her ability to meet people where they are. She skillfully adjusts her facilitation style to support the diverse needs and learning styles of participants, creating an environment that feels safe, inclusive, and empowering. Her warmth is matched by her professionalism, and her insights consistently spark meaningful reflection and growth. Gwenn has a deep understanding of group dynamics and emotional process work, and she fosters trust with remarkable ease. Whether you're collaborating with her, attending one of her workshops, or seeking her guidance as a therapist, you'll be met with care, integrity, and clarity. I highly recommend Gwenn Cody for any role involving facilitation, group process, or therapeutic support. She’s a rare combination of grounded, adaptable, and wise."
