Mens Group

In today's modern society, where we lead increasingly busy lives, it is difficult to find space to nurture ourselves, feel emotionally recharged and enjoy a sense of community. A mens group provides a sacred space for men to gather, celebrate and process life together. It allows men to reflect and nurture their spirit and their lives. Exploring our inner life and issues is vital for the wellbeing of both ourselves and those around us.  Men no longer have a safe and honouring place where they can go and be supported by other men.  This needed ritual has been debased into boozy nights at the pub, where talk is shallow, masky, and insecurely heroic.

The mens group is intended to create a traditional time of men coming together in a modern world. To remind ourselves of what it means to be a healthy man and to share ourselves with each other, so, we can rebuild the connection between our intuitive and rational side, our thoughts and feelings, and our body and mind as a man. 

• Meet other men that are open to personal development and/or being healthy men
• Share your feelings, thoughts, and issues in a relaxed, safe and nurturing environment
• Participate in a space allowing for nourishing, honest and deep communication
• Learn more about becoming the man in your life
• Get mirrored and modelled how to be a healthy man, which for many of us we never got from our fathers and teachers growing up

Everything disclosed is kept confidential to the group.  Each group is an independent gathering. We'll start with centring and simple body-mind exercises to connect to ourselves and each other. Then every participant has an opportunity to share if they wish, or just attend for the healing space, get support, and the healthy community environment.

The Mens Group is run by Richard Boyd.  Richard is an experienced leader who is grounded and intuitive.  He is a qualified body-mind psychotherapist and practicing executive coach.  He sees clients privately, runs process groups, meditation groups, courses, workshops, retreats and seminars.
