Better Men’s Support Group!

We have created a Men’s Support Group on Zoom! We have six men already participating!  We have been meeting bi-weekly since the Spring and it is amazing. Get your seat at the table.

We are a group of men discussing their honest feelings on relationships, drugs, love, sex, money, and work. We’ll pick a topic, trade stories, have a moderated discussion, and maybe yell (if needed).

We dive in deep and not let fear keep us from expressing who we really are. We’ll explore what makes us amazing and far from amazing, what we need to grow and what gets in the way of growing, how to trust ourselves and others and what obstacles get in the way of trust. We’ll find what environments support our safety, and how to set boundaries in those that don’t. Most importantly, we’ll just practice being our authentic selves.

We may include meditation and other practices designed to create clarity, presence and truth. What we do will be guided by what shows up at every session. We will have assignments between sessions to reflect more deeply and practice whatever we worked on together.

It doesn’t always feel clear how to be a “good man” in today’s world, so let’s help each other figure it out together. We each have our own definition of  what makes a “good man”. I doubt any two of us will define this exactly the same, and that is OK. If we honestly engage in conversation, we have the opportunity to clarify and expand our own definition, and a map to get there. How can we go in the right direction if we don’t know where it is we are headed?

I think we are all fed up with society’s definition of manhood. Let’s create our own! A way to be that respects all people, including ourselves. We want to do better and be better, but often get tangled up in our own resistance and confusion fueled by doubt and a deep fear of failure. Honesty, humility and belonging can be the springboard to moving forward. Have you had enough of trying and trying but not achieving the level of excellence in life that you know exists within each us? If this feels true for you, get your seat at the table now!

Anyone who self-identifies as a man and is ready to do the work necessary to be amazing, beautiful and alive. You are welcome because of, and in spite of, who you are and where you have come from. Please do not let race, class, religion, culture, education or any other barriers keep you from being part of this opportunity. You are needed and wanted.

Bi-Weekly on Monday nights from 5:45 – 7:15. Get your seat at the table.

Yes. We are asking for a sliding scale donation of $10-$45 each session. You determine your own rate after an honest assessment of resources. You will never need to justify your contribution. We trust you and want you present!

For more information, we invite you to contact Michael directly @ michael.swerdloff@gmail.com.

Get your seat at the table. This is our time to move forward as individuals and as a group.
