The Philosophy of a Safe Male Space
Rooted in group analytic principles, a Safe Male Space offers a nurturing and dynamic environment for self-exploration and interpersonal connection. Here’s what makes this group special:
Exclusive membership: We maintain an intimate setting with a maximum of six members, fostering deep and meaningful interactions.
Open to men over 25: The group welcomes men over the age of 25, creating an enriching experience.
Regular meetings: We will convene every two weeks, with each session lasting 90 minutes, providing ample time for everyone to engage and reflect.
Commitment to continuity: Regular attendance is encouraged to maintain the group’s cohesion and effectiveness.
Member-driven agenda: There’s no predetermined agenda. Instead, the content is shaped by what members choose to bring up, ensuring relevance and immediacy.
Confidentiality is key: What’s shared in the group stays in the group creating a safe and trusting environment.
In-group interactions: To preserve the group’s integrity and focus members do not interact outside of sessions.
12-week journey: Members are encouraged to commit to the group for a 12-week period, allowing relationships to deepen and the therapeutic process to unfold fully.
The Group Dynamic
The format of a Safe Male Space is open and dynamic. We don’t have set agendas and topics; instead, the conversation flows freely, steered by the members’ immediate thoughts, feelings and experiences. This spontaneous interaction allows for rich and diverse dialogue, where each member’s input resonates from others.
Who can benefit?
The Safe Male Space is specifically designed for adult men seeking a supportive environment to navigate life’s complexities. It’s a place for those ready to offer and receive both support and constructive challenges, fostering an atmosphere of mutual trust over time.
