Our diverse men’s groups reach from America’s East Coast to Australia or the British Isles and include coupled and single men from their thirties to eighties. Groups meet for two hours, afternoons or evenings and in person or by Zoom, to offer a safe and confidential space to explore topics that might be challenging to discuss with friends and family.
Many men have suppressed and forgotten vulnerable emotions such as shame, fear, grief, loneliness, and anxiety since childhood and thus lost touch with them. By bringing up these feelings and discussing them with empathy, we develop emotional versatility, greater capacity for intimacy, and improved skills for restoring and strengthening relationships.
What you’ll learn:
- Learn how to build closer friendships and tame the competitiveness learned in adolescence.
- Exchange feedback about all our relationships to improve on what helps and hurts us in our lives.
- Learn new aspects of how our emotions affect our experience that improve our perceptions and emotional skills in social situations.
- Develop more versatile emotional intelligence that brings brighter colored experience and wisdom into our lives.
- Develop and organize our goals and men’s work to protect and restore the
earth. - Learn novel poorly understood features of emotions and practice how to better express them.
- Contribute to human evolution by understanding all our emotions and acting on them conscientiously.
- Emerge from what might be a somewhat competitive or isolated adulthood to join a supportive healing wisdom
community.
