What are Men's Groups?

Our Men’s groups are dedicated to cultivating healthy, mature masculinity and male spirituality. If you’re seeking to connect with like-minded men who are committed to showing up more fully in the world and embracing a healthier way of being, we invite you to join us either in person or online — and experience what it means to be part of a brotherhood, where men support and transform one another through a power greater than ourselves.

What's Involved?

Sacred Space

Our Men’s group, is a sacred space held in trust and warmth, where men from all paths of life gather. Whether you join one of our local men’s groups or participate in our men’s online groups, you will find a place where you are welcome, and every story is honoured.

Beat of the Drum

In local groups we begin with the rhythm of the drum—calling us home to ourselves, out of our busy minds and into our hearts. Together, we find our shared pulse, stepping into the present. Bring your drum or rattle, or pick up one of our spares; every beat belongs.

Stillness Meditation

For about ten minutes, in silence, we rest together in the aliveness of stillness, connecting with open hearts, a quiet river of love flowing between us. Whether in our local men’s groups or our online men’s groups, this time of contemplation anchors us in presence.

Way of Council

In this sacred way, we speak and listen from the heart.
Here, there is no judgment, no fixing, no advice—only the truth of the moment. We offer one another the gift of deep presence, holding space for what longs to be spoken, and longs to be heard.

Shared Reflections

A gentle prompt – A poem, a reading, a simple idea, is shared to stir the waters of reflection.
You may speak to the prompt, or follow your own thread, or sit quietly in the rich company of men. Every man’s voice and silence are honoured.
