Date and time: Every other Wednesday6PM UK Time7PM Germany time (CEST)11AM Mountain Time (MDT)Duration: 75 minutesDescription: In today’s superficial and isolating world, men&#x27;s groups have emerged as powerful spaces for connection and healing. Our Online Men’s Group offers you the opportunity to give and receive support in a safe and confidential space, leading to increased self-acceptance, confidence, and meaningful relationships. What you can expect:1. Safety and Authenticity:In a culture that expects stoicism and emotional restraint, we encourage participants to openly talk about their feelings and confront their emotions. This facilitates emotional growth and improves mental wellbeing.2. Understanding and Empathy:As you listen to the experiences of other participants from diverse backgrounds and share your own, you’ll be reminded that you’re not alone in your struggles while building skills for understanding and empathy.3. Support and Camaraderie:Through regular meetings, we become pillars for one another, offering encouragement, advice, and guidance in times of need. This strengthens resilience and gives you the tools to face life&#x27;s challenges with greater confidence.4. Opportunities for Growth:By engaging in open discussions about relationships, career aspirations, and mental health, you’re exposed to new perspectives and insights. This facilitates personal growth and self-awareness.5. A Lifelong Journey:Being part of our Men’s Group is a commitment to ongoing growth and community. Over time, you’ll develop a sense of accountability to yourself and your fellow group members as you contribute to the group.All welcome:New Life’s Online Men’s Groups are open to all of us who identify as men and who want to nurture personal growth and build meaningful bonds. We celebrate diversity and inclusion.

Men's Group Facilitators: Julien Gryp and Alan Piatek

Julien's Bio: Over more than 13 years of leading the New Life Foundation, I've both facilitated and joined countless weekly Men’s Group meetings. I've personally witnessed how helpful they are as a space to grow, share, and draw strength from vulnerability.A practitioner of meditation for almost twenty years and a Buddhist monk at Thamkrabok Monastery for eight of those years, I'm inspired by a wide range of schools and traditions including Theravada, Mahayana, and Zen Buddhism.Alongside my meditation practice, I am a keen student of multidisciplinary evidence-based research which explores topics like motivation, identity, anxiety, stress, depression, and substance misuse, all of which are issues I have struggled with in the past. I've dedicated my life to building community and cultivating belonging as these were the things that helped me the most when I faced my own challenges. I look forward to being part of the online Men’s Groups with you.

Alan's Bio: After experiencing New Life Thailand in 2018, I had the opportunity to work as a volunteer at New Life Portugal for over 6 months. In Portugal I was trusted to facilitate our weekly men’s groups, a heartfelt experience that I will be forever grateful for.As a coach, I am passionate about helping people, supporting them in leading a healthier, more balanced and fulfilling life. My coaching is rooted in evidence-based methods such as Systemic Coaching and NLP, and draws upon a combination of mindfulness, breathwork, and shamanic wisdom.I’m originally from Berlin and that is also where I currently live. Alongside my daily mindfulness practice, I enjoy being active, playing basketball, surfing or going on hikes whenever I have the chance.

<h2>Additional Information:</h2>Only for NL alumni: Yes, to begin with.Recurring: Every 2 weeks, alternating between Alan and Julien.
