Men’s Group Mondays encourages men of all backgrounds to explore the truth of their own unique beauty, both the dark and the light, within the bonds of real brotherhood. Dropping deeper into connection with each other and with our own awakening or inner soul work, together we embrace the principles of men's work, creating a sacred space where the true and authentic masculine presence rises with inner and outer vulnerability and strength, with renewed awareness of our own unique purpose and place in the world, and knowing that each of us truly count. Bring your tears and your joy and gather in authentic, honest presence, in whatever form that is. To show up, however we truly are and to explore the many themes of masculinity and brotherhood together. So lets circle up and see what happens, we are here every Monday ready for you. Facilitated by Rayna love and guest space holders. Rayna has been facilitating men's and women's transformation events and workshops for over 10 years.

“Kia Ora Rayna. Another fantastic turn up last night it's due to your leadership and mana.”

“Thank you Rayna and guest facilitators, for creating such a powerful, vulnerable, safe, sacred healing space for us men last night. I was touched and moved by the courage and vulnerability of the sharing of the men in the group. I got to source myself in the sharing of what others are dealing with, and it brings me deep comfort to know that I am not alone on this journey of life, and that its ok to not be perfect. I left last night feeling got, heard and understood, without any judgement. And I feel grounded in my purpose, and accepting of where I am in life right now. Much love and gratitude to you all. Arlan Harris
“If you're a man and men's work or men's circles are something you've been considering getting involved with, this is your invitation to come and take part of this incredible offering. This is also an invitation to bring your son's, step sons, grandsons and nephews along with you, whether your connection is biological or not(this will be all-age appropriate) as well as a calling to reach out to your fathers, uncles, grandfather's, older brothers, or mentors to come and join too. This space is safe, confidential, and it's highly likely you will leave with new tools for facing the challenges of what it means to be a man amongst men and a man in our modern society. If you're reading this, take this as your own personal sign! I look forward to seeing you there! Ticket sales are appreciated as it helps to support those holding space and also helps support the great work being done for the community at The Holistic Hub, but this is a koha event, and the only thing required of you is to get your body in the room before we open circle. Also, particularly if you know any men struggling at this time please share this link with them:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It truly is a blessing to be seen, heard, and felt as a man amongst men. This is the medicine.”

Kia Ora to my Network of brothers::
As you may have seen from my posts, a few months ago I started an offering to host regular Monday Night Men's Groups at the Holistic Hub 152 Kepa Rd Orakei, open to men that have initiated and have experience in Men's Work and importantly also open to welcoming men that are completely new to Men's Work, to offer a taste of the nature of this work, and a place to be connected and witnessed, when they need it. This has provided some very valuable and appreciated support, from the feedback of some of these men that rose to the call to attend a Men's Group experience for the very first time. This takes some awareness in facilitating or holding the space, where the culture is always touched on each night at the beginning to give guidance and key principles such as confidentiality, not interrupting or giving unsolicited advice or feedback, speaking from the i perspective, and tuning into whats being felt, in the present moment. Usually the men with experience lead by example and the new men pick up the culture intuitively and fast. And now to the purpose and reason for this post:
Tomorrow nights Zoom and in person Men's Circles are being facilitated by Wolf Zachary Fearn. He has been a co facilitator with me on many of the events and he has a strong feel for this role. I am unable to attend due to a work timing clash. I would like to find another couple of people willing to step in to the facilitator role as an occasional backup to Wolf and I, or as a semi regular space holder. I would like to actively encourage people in my networks to consider the growth opportunity this role may represent for anyone with curiosity and desire to advance their facilitator skill set and experience holding group events. Training is available through myself, and this is an opportunity to explore leading groups without a high degree of pressure or responsibility. The rewards are immediate and many, and in stepping up to express an interest in this role, you are helping support that this event remains sustainable and available to our community, to men in need, with the stability of a regular weekly gathering, each and every week of the year. Commitment is not asked to attend or hold space more than you are willing or able, but by joining and supporting our team occasionally you will make a massive difference. Thanks for your consideration, and please reach out to discuss this with me at any time, if you feel called to this work. If you are curious to sharing an experience of Men's Work with your partner or friend or acquaintance wanting to explore mixed sharing circles and authentic connection and deeper understanding across the gender divide... consider attending the Community Heart Circle events held every 4th Monday of the month where our Men's Group opens its doors to all genders and especially to couples, to join the circle.
