REGISTER TODAYWHAT TO EXPECT:

A specialized men's group for the Gay community
A safe place for men in the Gay community to meet, be seen, and work through areas of wounding, isolation, and hurt.Â

Learn your patterns that have come out of emotional neglect or wounding
Gain a better understanding of some of the patterns that hold you back, continue to cause distress in your life, and lead to interpersonal stress.

Healing and Embracing Our "Wholeness"
Grow from your patterns, calm your protective parts, and increase wholeness in your system by embracing and freeing your wounded parts.Â
EVERY MAN DESERVES TO BE SEEN
In a world where men are often left to navigate challenges alone, this group is your space to connect, grow, and take action. You’ll uncover what’s missing in everyday life—true connection, hard conversations, and the support of like-minded men.
It's been my experience that men in the Gay community have experienced different types of wounding, a soul-wounding, and that a safe place for these men to meet needed to happen.Â
WHO IS THIS FOR?

"I attended Mike’s 2023 fall cohort men’s group the past 2 months, and I am beyond grateful for all of it. This was my first ever men’s group experience, and I can’t wait for the next one! Mike is an incredibly supportive guy who truly wants what is best for us men moving through this crazy world. I had a wonderful experience throughout group and had the opportunity to work through parts of myself, and now have some tools to continue using! Thank you Mike, and thanks to all the men who attended!"
