View submission: Men’s Group
Hello all, OP here.
Thanks for your input!
We are doing in-person only and inviting people we personally know and trust so this is not an open group at this point.
I agree that having a resource on this subreddit for people to start their own men's groups would be great. Once we finish fleshing this out, I will share our resources and a breakdown of how it all worked out. From there, you all(and the mods) can decide what you want to do with that.
About the group itself:
We have all agreed that our relationship with each other takes absolute priority over everything regarding this project.
We operate under consensus.
We plan to have regular(monthly or bi-monthy) meetings where we discuss literature(a sort of political ed) and make space to open up about our relationship with our masculinity.
We have spoken about including activities, such as community service, to strengthen the bond between us and commit collective good on behalf of the group.
Currently, our meetings are simply to discuss the structure of the group(the next of which is tonight). We set a deadline to have our first "official" meeting in early February to make sure we don't get stuck in a planning hole.
There's nothing here!
