These men's group articles are for men who are curious about men's groups, thinking of joining one, or already in the circle and wanting to go further. They cover what a men's group is, how to start and run one, and the personal themes men bring into the room, from loneliness and anger to masculinity and inner work.
Everything here is written from experience in men's groups in Aotearoa, and reviewed by experienced facilitators.
Choose where to start
New to men's groups? Begin with joining a men's group: what a group is, what happens at a first meeting, and how men benefit from it.
Thinking of starting or running a group? See starting and running a men's group for practical guides on getting going, facilitating the circle, and handling conflict.
Dealing with something hard? Men's mental health, relationships and fatherhood looks at loneliness, anger, shame, grief, addiction, separation and being a father.
Drawn to the deeper work? Men's inner work and masculinity explores shadow work, the father and mother wounds, rites of passage, nature, myth, and what it means to be a man today.
Three good places to begin
