My TEDx video is out. Now I'm asking for help in sharing it. I want the word to get out that as men we can win with our emotions. There is a simple model that works for us and a fun way to become proficient at it.

Our genome is nature based. It's only in the last few thousands of years that we 'evolved' to be so civilized. We all need a place and time to be renewed.

A great manifesto for slowing down and going home - to nature.

Research suggests that you can improve your health, reduce stress, and improve brain power by doing your work outside, in nature.

Micro-communities and men’s groups’ popularity continues to grow. It seems being an emotionally intelligent man is now cool.

Zero-Point Production out of New York asked us recently to lead a pilot for a reality TV show about a men’s group as the first step to creating another successful show for them. Their plan to film a weekend with eight men and us should be fun… who knows what will happen.

After 35 years, I can’t think of a better place for men to learn the art of masculine emotional intelligence than in the micro-community of a men’s group.

The men of Sandpoint Men’s Group will reveal what occurs in a men’s group to a Danish graduate student, and then to the world.

After two years in NYC, Maja Bugge could not find an established men’s group to allow her to film what happens in a group. Last summer, Maja contacted me about introducing her to groups in New York. I gave her the leads I had. She made some good connections, but could not find the group she needed.

She asked if my group would be interested. I asked them. They unanimously agreed to be filmed. The men of the group are willing to risk revealing parts of ourselves so others get to see the beauty of what occurs in a men’s group: men learning what they never had a chance to learn. Men enjoying being in a weekly group.

Here’s the pitch: Maja needs money for travel and production to produce, her documentary on Being a Man and our men’s group for her graduate thesis. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. Please share the link with your friends and network. These groups offer men something that have never existed.

Thank you for your help.

ABOUT MEN is an exploration into a sacred circle of men in a small town in Idaho who try to figure out what it means to be a man today.
