Men’s Group for Support & Growth
We are re-creating a Men’s Group for Support & Growth on Zoom. We will meet on the Fourth Monday of the month from 5:30-7:00 pm!
Our first meeting will be Monday, January 27, 5:30-7:00 pm.
What Is Our Men’s Group Doing?
We are a group of men discussing their honest feelings on relationships, drugs, love, sex, money, work, and life in general. We’ll pick a topic, trade stories, have a moderated discussion, and maybe yell (if needed).
Our men’s group will dive deep and not let fear keep us from expressing who we really are. We’ll explore what makes us amazing and what makes us far from amazing, what we need to grow and what gets in the way of growing, how to trust ourselves and others, and what obstacles get in the way of trust. We’ll find what environments support our safety and how to set boundaries in those that don’t. Most importantly, we’ll practice being our authentic selves.
We may include meditation and other practices designed to create clarity, presence, and truth. Between sessions, we will have assignments to reflect more deeply and practice whatever we worked on together.
Why are we gathering?
It doesn’t always feel clear how to be a “good man” in today’s world, so let’s help each other figure it out together. We each have our definition of what makes a “good man”. I doubt any two of us will define this the same, and that is OK. If we honestly engage in conversation, we have the opportunity to clarify and expand our definitions and a map to get there. How can we go in the right direction if we don’t know where we are headed?
I think we are all fed up with society’s definition of manhood. Let’s create our own! A way to be who respects all people, including ourselves. We want to do better and be better but often get tangled up in our own resistance and confusion fueled by doubt and a deep fear of failure. Honesty, humility, and belonging can be springboards for moving forward. Have you had enough of trying and trying but not achieving the level of excellence in life that you know exists within each of us? If this feels true for you, get your seat at the table now!
Who Can Join Our Men’s Group?
Anyone who self-identifies as a man and is ready to do the work necessary to be amazing, beautiful, and alive. You are welcome because of, and in spite of, who you are and where you have come from. Please do not let race, class, religion, culture, education, or any other barriers keep you from being part of this opportunity. You are needed and wanted.
When will Our Men’s Group Get Together?
Monthly on the fourth Monday night from 5:30 – 7:00. Get your seat at the table.
Is There Cash Involved?
Yes. We are asking for a sliding-scale donation of $35-$70 for each session. After an honest assessment of resources, you determine your own rate. You will never need to justify your contribution. We trust you and want you present! Please pay in advance, thank you.
