ONLINE MEN'S CIRCLE
Strong Men.
Powerful Community.
This 8-Week facilitated men's group is for men who are committed to growing, learning and leading as a life-long process. It is a convergence of traditional practice and contemporary psychology, structured to give you leverage on yourself, together with a community of men to support you in what you're building.
Cultivate your capacity to lead through deep attention and artful direction.
Build resilience in your nervous system to conduct the physical & emotional intensity of increasing engagement with life.
”During my time in the Men’s Group with Andrew, I was able to dramatically turn my life around, finding alignment with my career and securing sustainable income for myself and my growing life. I am beyond grateful for the support that Andrew offered during this process, where we unpacked beliefs and stories, as well as unlocked trapped emotions that were holding me back, surrounding purpose, finances, and relationships. I would recommend this program to anyone who is working through a barrier in their life, craving a meaningful and lasting breakthrough.

FAQ.
Who is this group for?
This group is for male-identified people of any race, sexual orientation, religion and background who are willing to commit to the agreements of participation.
How do I join?
Once you submit an inquiry to join the next group, the facilitator will contact you to schedule a short (10-15 minute) conversation to discuss your desired outcome in participating and any questions you have.
If it’s mutually-agreed that the program is a good fit for you, you’ll receive a link to complete the Participation Agreement and Tuition. Once these are completed, you’re ready to begin on the program start date.
Is this a therapy group?
No. While the outcomes of the group overlap with some therapies, the group is not offered as treatment for addiction, depression, anxiety, or other psychological disorders or conditions. Participants are responsible for maintaining their own physical and mental health.
What can I expect from the group?
You can expect to be met with respect: accepted for who you are, and also challenged toward who you are becoming. Facilitation is intended to give you opportunities to take risks in exploring your experience as a man. Through the program, you will cultivate ways of interacting with the world that reflect a healthy, authentic sense of yourself and your role as a man.
What is expected of me?
You (and every other man in your group) are expected to:
- show respect for yourself, the others in the group, and the program container
- arrive on-time and staying the full duration of each meeting
- give each experience your full attention and effort
- take the risk to learn & try doing things differently
- bring any questions or relevant issues to the attention of the facilitator
Can I quit if I want to?
Each participant commits to attend for the whole duration of the group, unless a prior arrangement is made with the facilitator. In the case of a genuine life emergency or change of circumstances, you may contact the facilitator to discuss making alternate arrangements.
There are no refunds for program tuition. In limited cases, tuition may be credited toward future programs.
Men's Group Themes
Self Respect
We compose our relationship with ourself mostly in the small actions which no one else will ever see. Men are extremely sensitive to the quality of respect we experience, but fall short of valuing our health and priorities in significant ways. It then shows in how we interact with others and the world. Cultivate respect for yourself in embodiment & mindfulness practice as a basis for your outward interactions.
Integrity
Know yourself, your needs, and what you can take responsibility for in the world. Uphold that knowledge with your actions and relationships. Build your capacity to hold yourself to commitments reflective of your core values, navigate situations where your integrity is tested, and form relationships based on mutual integrity.
Leadership
Whether it is in your job title or not, you have an opportunity to lead. Cultivate the capacity to be present to the people and situations you encounter, anticipate what's in service, and give direction towards beneficial outcomes, starting with yourself.
Who is there for you in moments when it truly matters?
Who will you be there for when they need it, even when it’s really inconvenient for you?
Your answers to these questions are a good indicator of your actual resilience when life gets challenging – personally, collectively or both simultaneously. Your answers are also a good indicator of your overall sense of meaning and belonging.
Men need meaningful connection with other men. Not just social banter.
Men need the camaraderie that emerges from the depths of what challenges us, hurts us and ultimately inspires us to create something beautiful with the time we have in this world.
What often surprises men when they gather intentionally is how naturally the connection deepens. The instinct to support and challenge each other respectfully is strong in our collective memory. As men witness each other in a moment of sweat or tears, trust grows. The wound of isolation dissipates, and they encourage each other to reach further into the ache for purpose.
