What we’re about
To be the man you want to be takes effort and the support of a community.
* What if there were a place to resolve internal conflicts, learn skills to help drive your success in relationships, in business, in LIFE?
* What if there were a group of men in your life who you could trust enough to let down your guard and tell the truth?
* What if your skills, insights and wisdom about life could be put to use in helping other men become more successful?
FREE. Open to any man. The men who facilitate this group care deeply about making our communities safer, more open and more resilient. Any man willing to follow some simple ground rules is welcome.
We are men that share experiences and wisdom to support self-awareness and positive change. We form a community of peers who take risks to improve our lives and help others. All kinds of men are involved. Non-religious and non-profit. Any man ready to follow some simple ground rules and take responsibility for himself is welcome. This group is facilitated and safe.
This work can have profound positive impacts on families, friendships and communities. Better health, more happiness, less anger, closer relationships with loved ones! Make the change you've been dreaming of. Become more the man you want to be. Create trusting and open relationships with men.
The way we see it, the world really needs men who have the strength to get real with one another and work together as brothers. Go-it-alone, dominating, chest pounding, 'tough it up' or 'laugh it off' masculinity is a facade that often covers up the truly effective, powerful, compassionate, nurturing, mature man.
Hosted and facilitated by men from the ManKind Project.

Basic Agenda (1.5 hours):- Welcome
- Check - In
- Small Group Sharing With Facilitated Questions
- Closing and Check - Out
********************************************************************************
A few of the Open Men’s Group Ground Rules:- Confidentiality: What is said here stays here. This is to ensure that all of the men can feel safe in participating fully.
- Equality of Time : Be aware of how much time you are given and only take that time. This ensures others receive their due time as well.
- Active Listening: Do not interrupt, and do not offer feedback unless it is requested. Mindfully listen and concentrate on others when they are talking.
- Be present: Be on time. After all of the men have introduced themselves, we ‘seal the container.’ This ensures the safety of all men present to be able to share vulnerably without interruption.
