Communication, Character, Commitment

What if, amidst the dense tangle of competing issues you face as a man, you were to come upon…a clearing?

You’re dealing with your work, family demands, budgets and tight schedules. They all add up to a heavy load to carry, and you may think, "That’s just the way life is. It’s all part of being a man."

The good news is that you can lessen the load you are carrying and bring balance back to your life. We have a proven way of dealing with your burdens that will allow you to enjoy the good times again.

The Clearing for Men is a group that gathers to give each other a place to exchange thoughts. It is not a therapy group or lecture. It is a class that is structured to help men lift each other up in being the best that we can be. We support one-another in learning how to “show up” in our relationships with compassion, respect, and personal power.

Virtual | Weekly on Tuesdays | 6:30-8:30pm & Thursdays | 10-12am or 6:30-8:30pm (ET)
