The context the men of Sandpoint Men’s Group meet in is one of learning, not therapy. We view each other and ourselves as being healthy. We meet to enhance our lives.
Group History
The Sandpoint Men’s group started February 2005 with 12 men. Their invitations to join came from Owen Marcus who developed the design out his experience over the years leading groups and from his affiliation with the MandKind Project.
We believe there are three main reasons this group is powerful. The first is the container we hold and the men in it. The second is the quarterly lineaged Sweat Lodges that are open to mens partners to attend. The third aspect is the Healing Journey we have refined over the years. The Healing Journey is an gentle process of taking a man back to the origin of what is preventing him from achieving his goal.
The group has grown to be three circles or groups approaching the development of a fourth circle. All groups meet on Wednesday night individually and every sixth week they come together as one group.
The men of the Sandpoint Mens Group support the continued success the Sandpoint Women's Group.
