WELCOME TO THE MENS GROUP
CURRENTLY OUR THURSDAY MENS GROUP IS FULL.
WE HAVE 2 PLACES OPEN FOR THE WEDNESDAY GROUP.
IF INTERESTED PLEASE GET IT TOUCH.
Wednesday & Thursday evenings from 6.30 – 9.30pm in around a fire near Brighton..
The Mens Group is a therapeutic journey in which you are supported and encouraged to express your truth, to be the most authentic version of who you are and to connect with your innermost vulnerability. It is set up as a safe and supportive space in which to do this, a space in which each man is honoured, valued and ‘seen’.
We all have wounds that we carry within which relate to our most basic needs, which are often about love and recognition. This may be something we didn’t experience growing up in a culture that encourages us as men to be thick skinned and to look like we are doing ok even when we don’t feel this. It takes courage to come together and break through the veneer, the masks that we wear and to risk something more honest. It is very powerful when there is a group of us committed to undertaking this journey together.
Many of us have had to grow up fending for ourselves and just ‘hoping for the best.’ Perhaps our fathers were not there. Or if they were, maybe they were emotionally unavailable, critical, and even abusive. Maybe we learnt that other men were a threat, who we had to ‘compete’ with, at all costs. Not to be trusted. We learnt to “be strong”, to “be tough” and “man up!” Through being part of the Men’s group we can start to have a new experience of ourselves as men and to realize that we are supported and that we are not alone.
Practical details:
The group runs on Wednesday &Thursday evenings from 6.30 – 9.30pm. It is a closed group but new people can join at various times.
If you are interested please get in contact. Currently we have openings for Wednesday evenings. Please get in touch to find out about the current situation .
The cost is £90 per month ( 3 sessions) and we ask for a commitment to a whole term which is a 3 month period, approximately 12 sessions. The reason for this is so that there is cohesion and commitment within the group as a whole. This is the energy of commitment that is needed to enable the depth of the work to happen. However, if you are wanting to join you are welcome to come along to an initial session to see if it feels right for you before proceeding any further.
It takes place outdoors around a fire, near Brighton.
The group will be lead by Aaron Swartz
I invite you to join us.

"Being part of the Men’s Group for the best part of 6 years was an absolute privilege and something I feel many Men would really gain a lot from.
It provided me with a space where I could take all my experiences and share them without any fear of judgement and be heard but also receive the valuable reflections of other Men. This was an extremely liberating and healing experience and not something that was available to me otherwise. Over time it helped me develop a much stronger sense of myself and my boundaries and also helped me appreciate connecting with others in a way I hadn’t before. These are definitely lessons I have been able to take to all other aspects of my own life"
