3349 Bloor Street West (near Islington Ave.) Islington Village Wellness Centre at 7:30 - every other Wednesday
You are invited to become a part of an exciting men's group focusing on personal development and what it means to be a man in the world today with changing needs and roles. How do we balance our masculine and feminine selves, develop our creativity, be fully self-responsible, and foster loving healthy relationships?The goal of the bi-weekly men's medicine group is to create the opportunity for men to share, explore any patterns that may keep them restricted in negative beliefs and attitudes, consider new possibilities and develop healthy choices to bring balance within their lives. This group provides gestalt and shamanic (a native tradition of balancing all aspects of our lives) psychotherapy and coaching for men which can be effective addressing issues of addiction, anxiety, anger, depression, stress, and shifting patterns that lead to relationship conflict or loss.
Group participation includes the sharing of experience, reflection, and psychodrama. The medicine wheel offers a broader perspective on our choices, how to restore our alignment with the world and identify patterns and behaviors that we as men may wish to change.
"...Things used to get me so upset. I no longer worry about things I can't change. It's helped me to put my energy to better use."
