Everything you need to know before showing up for the first time.
About the group.
What is men's work?
Men's work is the process of bringing awareness to and shedding layers of conditioning that discourage male vulnerability. It's an opportunity to dig into your relationship with the full spectrum of emotions: shame, guilt, anger, love, joy, and integrate the parts of yourself you've been taught to hide.
The goal isn't to fix you. It's to help you show up as a more honest, present, and grounded version of yourself in your relationships and your life.
Who can come?
All humans who identify as a man, 18 and older. No experience with men's work required. No particular belief system, background, or level of emotional fluency needed. Just a willingness to show up.
Is this a religious group?
No. Humble Warrior is non-denominational and open to men of all belief systems: religious, spiritual, agnostic, atheist, or anywhere in between. We don't ask you to adopt a particular worldview or leave yours at the door. What we share is a commitment to honesty, growth, and showing up for each other. The rest is yours to hold however feels right.
Is this group therapy?
No. Humble Warrior is a peer community space, not a clinical setting. We're here to offer connection, accountability, and a place to be seen and heard.
That said, we have current and former members who are licensed therapists and coaches we can connect you with if you're looking for professional support. You can also search for a therapist at Psychology Today's therapist finder.
What should I expect at a meeting?
Meetings run about 90 minutes to 2 hours. We start by grounding the space and reviewing our group agreements. From there we move through some light movement or breathwork, and wrap up with open sharing: time to talk honestly about what's present in your life.
It's less structured than a class and less clinical than therapy. Think of it as a circle of men who are genuinely interested in how you're doing.
What should I bring?
Just yourself. A journal and pen can be useful but aren't required. If you want extra comfort, a mat, cushion, or meditation pillow is welcome.
How much does it cost?
Weekly meetings are free to attend and donation-based. We accept cash or Venmo (@humblewarriormensgroup). We ask that you give at least $10 if you can when you come to a meeting, but if that feels prohibitive, just show up. Your presence is what matters most.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Everything shared in the group stays in the group. This is one of our core agreements: what happens in the circle doesn't leave the circle.
The HOPE agreements.
Every circle we run is grounded in four agreements we call HOPE. These aren't rules imposed from the outside. They're commitments we make to each other and to ourselves every time we show up.
Honesty
If we're not honest with ourselves, we can't make real change. We practice telling the truth to ourselves and each other.
Ownership
Own your experience. Speak in "I" statements. Take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions rather than projecting them outward.
Presence
Show up fully. Honor the space by arriving on time and being genuinely here, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
Embodiment
We work with the body, not just the mind. Breath, movement, and body awareness are part of how we do this work.
What if I'm feeling suicidal or in crisis?
Humble Warrior is a supportive community but we are not a crisis intervention service. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out for professional help immediately.
