What to expect:
This meetup is as low pressure as it gets. This is the place to start if you are seeking getting comfortable about talking through the challenges of life with other people.
You will arrive to a circle of meditation cushions - find one that feels right and get comfy.
Say hi to your fellow brave stranger who is doing their best to not look nervous trying something new just like you.
Branden will start the session by guiding the group through an easy to follow breath work session as we begin to focus in on the deep meaningful conversation we are about to have.
Each meeting will have a focus topic and a short message will be shared.
We will casually break off into small groups to openly share one individual win that you are proud of and one life challenge. Practice your listening ear and feel the genuine satisfaction that comes from being there for another brother as you exchange advice.
Once the small groups feel complete, we will circle back up to share anything valuable that came up from the small group sessions. If its on your heart and is respectful to your fellow men then share!
Branden will end the session with an intention for the group and the circle will close and you go off into your week better equipped for what life has to throw at you.
This group is based on universal truths of honesty, compassion, and love. This gathering is not based on any certain religion and all points of views are welcome as long as they are respectful and considerate.
You do not have to do anything to prepare for the class. Just bring humility and an open heart. (plus water and a notepad if you wish!)
