Frequently Asked Questions

What is men’s work?

Men’s work is the process of bringing awareness to and shedding layers of entrenched conditioning that discourage male vulnerability. It is an opportunity for men to dig into their relationship with the full spectrum of emotions such as shame, guilt, anger, love, and joy. The Work offers a platform to integrate the masculine shadow so that men can show up as confident, present, and loving leaders for their loved ones and community.

What is the meeting format?

Our Monday night men’s circle is about 1.5-2 hours where we greet and explain the boundaries and agreements of our group. We loosen up with some gentle movement, stretching and other miscellaneous physical exercises. We move into some breath work and meditation. Finally wrapping up with dedicated time to talk about your experience in the world.

What should I bring?

Yourself! Something to write on and write with can also be helpful, but is not needed. A mat and/or cushion, meditation pillow or chair are optional.

Is this group therapy?

This is not group therapy. Humble Warrior men’s group is a space to be seen, supported, and held accountable by other men in our community, and may be a wonderful complimentary to therapy. Therapy is administered by a licensed professional with particular guidelines regarding diagnosing and treating cases. If you are in need of therapy we can provide resources to such services.

What are the rules?

We have an acronym — CHAOS — that serves as the agreements of this space:

Confidentiality -  “closed container”, Discussions do not leave a particular session

Honesty - if we’re not honest with ourselves, we can’t work on the things outside of us and make real change if we’re not living in the truth

Acceptance - this is not a place to be judged by ourselves or others. We need to meet ourselves and others where we are at

Ownership - own your shit. Speak in “I” statements. Positive action language. What can we do, not what we don’t want to do

Sacred - regarded this whole experience/container/our time with great respect or reverence. Do not show up late. Honor the energy.

How much does it cost?

Our biweekly meetings happen on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month. These are donation based. Pay what you can. If that’s $1 or $100. Great. Your presence is the most important thing.
