Self Discovery Men's Group
Caring and honest support is essential when men are
experiencing changes, stress, grief and issues in
their lives. Changes in jobs, relationships, divorce, death or separation
from family and loved ones—all can add stress and
grief to men’s lives.
During these stressful times, men need the counter-balance of support that can
help them meet these challenges in a strong,
successful and
loving way.
Men are stronger, more successful and happier when they are connected
to themselves, their bodies, their lovers, their
children and to each other. Unfortunately, our
upbringing, culture and stresses of work and family
can interfere with those connections.
Developing
the skills, resources and capacity to thrive and
develop these connections is one of the key benefits
of joining a Self Discovery Men's Support Group.
Men who join a Men's Support Group:
-
Build a clear sense of direction and purpose
-
Find support to voice thoughts,
grief and longings
-
Develop power and resources to meet and make life changes
-
Get clear about what they want,
learn focusing skills and how to succeed in
meeting goals
-
Build awareness of mind, body and relationships
-
Create positive choices in responding to
and recovering from grief, stress
and life, and family issues, such as separation
and divorce
-
Learn faster and become more
successful by receiving feedback from men with
varied and diverse experience in responding to
and recovering from life's stresses and
challenges.
Men meet each week to say what is true for them. Men
talk about family, work, stress, healing, spirit, truth,
divorce, recovery, separation, relationships, fathers,
friendship, trust, love, fear, anxiety, anger, frustration,
loneliness, success, burnout, failure, money, dreams, soul-work,
longings, sex, goals, life-stories, authenticity, integrity,
grief recovery, nature, acceptance and other topics important to them.
Men in a group explore
archetypes which are present and latent in every man, such as
the king, warrior, shaman and lover. They also discuss and
share books about men and male issues, such as Get a Life
by Ralph Warner, Iron John
by Robert Bly, No More Mr. Nice Guy, by Dr. Robert
Glover and The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to
Mastering the Challenges of Women Work and Sex Desire, by
David Deida.

"A place where I could count on
being heard and not judged regardless of
how I felt, what I thought - I felt
supported whether I was down and out or
up.
"I really liked the meditative exercises (be it
silence, music, words) which allowed me to become still and
present.
"I attribute much of what I have
become over the last 5 years from being
a member of your men's group. I feel so
much more complete and positive about my
life. "I learned what it meant
for me to show up as a man on this planet in these times."
