Service Description

What is this course about? Are you struggling to balance the demands of the modern man? Perhaps your commitment to work and family has made you feel isolated from other friends. Perhaps financial concerns have strained your relationships. Perhaps you're spread thin trying to be a present parent, partner, employee, and friend. Most men are not taught how to talk to one another or others effectively. Men are conditioned to constantly compare themselves to others. Maybe you're not on time with the whole job, family, house, and vacations on your boat schedule. Or perhaps you are and yet you still aren't finding fulfillment in your life. The old idea that "real" men make it on their own, and that those who can't are weak or not man enough, has caused too much unnecessary suffering. All of this can lead to isolation and hopelessness. Men are social creatures. Throughout history men have banded together to hunt, build, and keep their families safe. The modern age is more isolated and we've lost that natural connection to one another. Since opening my practice, I've seen many men in this position. Men need more opportunities to connect with other men facing similar struggles. Men need to be challenged to grow and supported through the normal resistance that comes with doing so. Don't buy into the idea that you have to deal with life on your own. Who is this group for? This group is open to any male-identifying person ages 30-65. Other Information Limited to 8 members Attending most sessions is encouraged for the best experience This is a closed group, meaning once it begins, no new members will join until the next round Please arrive on time. How will this group work? Just show up. Come ready to talk about yourself. My job is to manage the room, make sure everyone talks, everyone listens, and everyone works toward personal goals. Each meeting will be open for someone to propose a topic. I'll offer guidance where appropriate, but the goal is for everyone to learn from one another.
