For many men growing up in American culture, they were taught to be providers, tough, and non-emotional. Whether the lessons came from cultural representations or family messages from parents and extended family members, the impact can run deep, leaving men to struggle with connecting with their partner(s), uncomfortable dealing with their emotions or other’s emotions, quick to respond with anger or violence, struggle with unhealthy relationships to substances, and more.

The goals of this group are to:

• Build a community of men who want to build a deeper connection to themselves and their external world

• Learn how to identify, embody, and express the full range 

• Practice being with and moving emotions in healthy ways

• Learn how to communicate your emotions and experiences in ways that fosters connection with self & others

• Provide a safe space to practice being with our authentic self while in relationship with others

• Develop skills that will allow you to be more present and engaged in your life

In this group we will:

• Explore body-centered tools to uncover what’s really happening (It’s not usually what we think it is!)

• Engage in the exploration process to discover what we really want (It’s not usually what we think we want!)

• Actively engage with our own process and support others in their own process

• Hold each other accountable with compassion and empathy

• Empower each other to step into our power and to thrive in our personal and professional relationships

** All male-identifying individuals are welcomed to participate**
