The Mission
About
Welcome to Men's Group. We gather here to practice openness and radical candor, and seek reflection. Our intention is to use the bonds of brotherhood to wake ourselves out of our conditioned patterns so that we may be our truest selves. This is no easy path. The work we choose to do here is uncomfortable and may bring up feelings that may disrupt our homeostasis. This is intentional and purposeful. When we gather in connection to practice this level of self-honesty and responsibility we have found that our lives are fuller and our relationships are more fulfilling.
The Foundation
Principles
Our foundation is built on the following principles
- That our conditioning is isolation yet we yearn for connection
- That our thinking has been small and safe and that has distorted our reality
- That we tend towards consumption yet through service we are free
This group is open to all who identify as men who desire to live by these principles, and follow the rules of play.
Rules of Play
- Come as a full adult — you enter this loose association freely and are responsible for your actions while here. You consent to potentially hearing things that may trigger your auto psychic defense systems.
- Say the vulnerable thing — the more you give up the more you will get out of coming. This does not mean saying more but rather saying the potent part which is often the uncomfortable part.
- Leave competition at the door — as men we have a tendency to default to competition. Competition is not bad - like anything it has a purpose. In the context of this group we have found it to be counterproductive.
- Do not fix each other — we are here to bear witness to each others’ growth, not to do it for them. The thing to say to another man in the group that is most beneficial is not the answer to his problem.
- Confidentiality — who you see and what you see here stays here. Also you are responsible for any information or names that you bring into the group. Do so with responsibility and care.
