The Masculine Mystique:

Service Description

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: Sign up by August 15 for $420. Regular price is $480 for six sessions. Partial scholarships are available for participants at or below the poverty line. Please inquire if you qualify. What is this course about? I might get some guff for saying this, but it's hard to be a man these days. Hear me out. The truth is, patriarchy is dying. Society is doing the healthy thing in expecting more equity, equality, and empathy from men. Men are being asked to balance being strong, dependable, and masculine while also being more sensitive, calm, and present with friends and family. Are you struggling to balance these demands? Are you looking to make deeper connections with other men? Maybe you want to get into real, tough issues, struggles in relationships, healing from family trauma, and trying to find your way, maybe even your identity as a man in today's world. But you either don't know how to have those kinds of conversations, or you're scared to and don't want to admit it. 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. 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. Whether you're hyper-masculine, more of a nerdy outcast, socially adept, or someone who struggles socially, this group works best with a variety of personalities. The only requirement is a willingness to work alongside and be open to other kinds of men. 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. Meetings are held in person at 1380 Sarno Rd., Suite C, Melbourne 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.
