THE TABLE
Embodied Men's Group

Since participating in my first men’s group in 2011, I have sat in around a dozen different men’s groups across the country.

Throughout my time with different groups, I’ve had experiences that were deeply rewarding and others that were pretty lackluster. And while I deeply value the work that can happen in 1:1 settings, there are different parts of us that come alive when we are being witnessed by a group, and more still that come alive as we find some belonging within a group.

I’d like to invite you to be part of a small group of men practicing honest presence and real connection.

This is a place for men who want to be known by other men without having to perform, fix, or pretend.

This won’t be a therapy group, but it may hold therapeutic value. We won’t be trying to solve one another’s lives. Instead, we’ll practice something simpler and rarer: honest presence, real listening, and the kind of connection that comes from being met as you are.

For many men, there isn’t a place to bring our deeper questions, our quiet wins, our longings, the places where things feel unresolved – The Table is meant to be that place.

Together, we’ll explore both the familiar and the often-unspoken parts of life as men. We’ll meet one another in the truth that we are already enough, while also inviting more — more aliveness, more connection, more of ourselves.

I will be facilitating the group to encourage depth, safety and momentum. Each meeting will have a simple structure, with time for every man to check in and speak to his current experience, as well as time for exploring a particular facet of manhood.

We’ll balance the agenda with openness to what emerges from the group, and there will be a mix of full-group conversation, smaller groups, and paired sharing.

You don’t need prior experience with men’s groups and you don’t need to know what you’ll say. All I ask is that you show up honestly.

Sometimes spiritual growth doesn’t feel peaceful, it feels like everything is falling apart.

Sometimes spiritual growth doesn’t feel peaceful; it feels like everything is falling apart.ion, fear, or emotional breakdowns.

In our newest post, we introduce this concept and outline 4 paradigms to understand and support these intense inner shifts, from rites of passage to Meditator's Disease to shamanic initiation.

Each offers a new way to view—and support—deep spiritual change.

Boredom means I’m safe.

Circling back to that whole “quick dopamine” thing, I believe that we’ve lost our ability to be bored.

Sitting idly in the car for a few minutes —> picking up the phone to scroll.

Going for a walk in nature —> listening to a podcast or checking email every 50 steps.

I’m reminding myself that boredom is a very good thing because I can only feel bored if I’m also safe. Our bodies are not meant to be swung on the dopamine pendulum all day long.

Neutrality is okay. Boredom is okay. Boredom may feel like stagnancy because we’re so used to spikes of dopamine, but that doesn’t mean it is. For any of you that are super hard on yourselves, boredom can make us feel like we’re failing. Shouldn’t I be doing more?

But boredom, silence, stillness is what allows clarity to come through.

Why do you freeze in conflict or shut down when life gets overwhelming?
It’s your nervous system speaking—shaped by your history, relationships, and unprocessed survival responses.

We’ve curated a list of insightful books and courses to help you understand these patterns through a somatic lens—where healing starts in the body, not just the mind.

✨ Healing doesn’t have to feel like guesswork. It can be intuitive.

Have you ever meditated so deeply that it felt like you crossed a threshold—into a space beyond thought, time, or even self?

“When Meditation Opens Portals: A Journey Beyond the Mind” explores how deep practice can unlock inner dimensions, ancestral wisdom, and profound healing. 🌌

This isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about transformation. A journey into the unseen, where the veil lifts and new possibilities emerge. 🌿
