Get empowered TO SHARE MORE OF WHO YOU ARE
Join a supportive community of men to explore what's going on at a deeper level, and feel inspired to express what matters to you.
As men, it can be hard to find spaces to be real about our joys and our challenges, and be encouraged to fulfil our potential.
We’re all going through stuff in relationships, at work and with family – as well as all the strains of living in these stressed-out times.
We can get so caught up in the daily grind that we lose touch with what’s important – with who we really are and our fundamental needs.
That’s why we’re offering a regular place for men to come together and learn from each other by sharing what’s happening and how we experience it.
From doing this work in recent years, we’ve found that something transformative is unlocked when men connect sincerely in a confidential group.
In many ways, we’re honing skills that improve our relationships – particularly our relationship with ourselves. Speaking in small groups, we get to experience what it’s like to feel fully supported and seen, then provide that by listening to others.
We’re continually surprised about the ways in which this kind of authentic exchange helps men find new perspectives. Together, we inspire one another to live with more authenticity, creativity and integrity than we might muster alone.
We want as many men as possible to have access to this work on an ongoing basis. Having facilitated smaller intensive groups, we’re opening this out to invite others to sit with us. Come and experience what it’s like to support – and be supported by – other men!

FAQs
WHY IS THIS ONLY FOR MEN?
There aren’t many opportunities for men to come together like this – supporting one another in a spirit of brotherhood. We won’t be exploring masculinity in abstract, just providing a space where men can speak from the heart and feel heard.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?
We begin with a short meditation. Each week has a theme, which we discuss at the start, before splitting into smaller groups to explore our responses. We then reconvene to share what we’ve learned, and perhaps make commitments to try something new.
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SPEAK?
It’s not compulsory. You’re always welcome to pass, but the premise of the group is that it’s helpful to share, and supportive for others to hear us.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER RULES?
We all agree to abide by the following:
Turn up on time: Please log in a few minutes early so we start on the hour.
Hold all discussions sacred: Nothing any man shares will be repeated elsewhere.
Speak “from”, not “about”: Our aim is to speak authentically about what’s alive for us – i.e. our own experience of what we're thinking and feeling, not abstract ideas.
Listen attentively: Listening deeply can take more energy than speaking. By tuning in fully to someone else, you are offering a valuable gift. Try to listen with your body, noticing responses to what’s being said – not just in thoughts, but emotionally.
No advice: Our aim is not to fix each other, but to listen. When we respond to what another man says, we always speak from our experience of what arose in us.
No intoxicants: We're seeking to be clear and connected, so no booze or other psychoactive substances during our sessions please.
No promotions: Tempting as it might be to share recommendations for all sorts of good things with other men, this space is ad-free.
WHY DO YOU CHARGE £15?
We want this work to be sustainable. As freelancers, we’ve balanced our investment (including preparation time) with a price that fairly values our offering.

Endorsements
Feedback from others who’ve worked with us:
“Inspirational! The whole process reached a depth of intensity I had not expected in a virtual meeting. So wonderful too to co-create an international community.”
“Thank you all for the (in no particular order) personal, honest, powerful, touching, insightful, meaningful, reassuring, motivating, contemplating time together.”
“Extremely well thought out and presented with insight, humility, and deep knowledge... I do not believe I ever enjoyed a seminar this much, including in person.”
“Thanks for the session last night, I’m feeling so much lighter today. I had lost my sense of humour over the past few days and was walking around in a haze, but today I’m much more myself. Thank you!”
“I had an amazing time and I am very excited to cultivate these new practices into my life... Thank you to all of the men in the group for your insight, wisdom and openness. I wish you the best in your journey and hope to keep in touch.”
