Why Join a Men’s Group?

---

Men are often expected by society, their family and work place to hold it all together and be strong. While there is certainly times and places when it’s good to be so, without the necessary tools and spaces, it’s all too easy for men to internalized their struggles and emotions. This leads to the epidemic of mental crisis in men.

On top, men today are more alone than ever, starved of real connection. There’s a big difference between connecting with a group of male friends down the you watching the footy, making stabbing jokes masked as ‘banter’, compared to actually showing care and concern, whilst offering the space to truly open up how one is feeling.

This group not only offers the chance to enhance connection with other men and to process your emotional world more effectively, but offers the tools and practices that’ll allow you to embody your masculinity on a deeper and more consistent level.

The world today is starved of genuine, healthy masculine role models. The social-political landscape has made is more confusing than ever to know how to be a ‘man’, and has led to an epidemic of nice-guys - something which (rarely recognised) is equally as troublesome as what is referred to as "toxic masculinity" (i.e. brutish behaviour, insensitivity, misogyny, machoism, etc.)

Although Germany is perhaps slow to the party, there is a huge movement rising up teaching men to embody healthy expressions of masculinity; teaching men confidence, leadership, values, resilience and emotional intelligence (whilst staying clear of red-pill ideology!)

And this movement is rippling out in the form of men's groups; and it's in these small pockets of conscious communities where the bigger societal change starts to take place. Find out more about the Men's Embodiment Group in Berlin here.
