Every week I look forward to seeing Andi Wich in my men’s group where he brings his joyful, grounded leadership. In our conversation, we discuss our experience with the Gold-Mining Men’s Group and how it has supported our individual and collective growth. Andi then tells me about the Omega Point Program (OPP) that his father created to help self-discovery through structured peer mentorship. OPP has been a central platform in Andi’s own work and personal development, and he shares how it has improved his relationship with his wife and children.  He ends by offering his vision for building a land-based community that is committed to conscious communication and healing.
