Climbing Groups For Men

Taking the Mask Off: Thursday Night Men’s Group

Taking the Mask Off: Thursday Night Men’s Group We are a group of men that meet regularly to build deeper connection, personal growth, accountability, and integrity. If you’re looking for more than surface-level conversations and want a place to connect with other men while learning more about yourself, this might be the group for you. This is a place where all of you is welcome, the parts of your life that are going well and the parts that aren’t. You can bring your wins, struggles, anger, fear, grief, the questions you have, relationships, leadership, or your desire for greater mission and purpose in life, or whatever is showing up. Our meetings include a short opening, a few discussion rounds, and an opportunity to experience some of the tools we use in men’s work. You can participate as much or as little as you choose. You do not need any previous experience with men’s groups or personal development. This is not therapy, and you do not need to be in some sort of crisis to attend. Some men come because something in their life needs to change. Others are doing well and are looking for more mission and purpose, connection, accountability, self-discovery, and growth. All men 18 and older are welcome. Participation is voluntary, and confidentiality is paramount. This is a structured group so punctuality important. Please RSVP or if you have questions CONTACT: Preston Moore 979-255-3057 (call or text) preston@kprestonmoore.com

Men's Group meetup

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Columbus, OH Open Men’s Group / Intro to Men’s Work

Interested? Contact Preston Moore k.preston.moore@gmail.com 614-300-5989 ———————————— Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work. Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback. We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet. Visit ManKind Project USA to discover more. https://mkpusa.org/
