Tending Fire Men's Groups

Centering. Gratitude. Vision. Action. Inspiration. These elements bring focus, energy and results to small group men’s work. They breathe life into the core principles - consistency, accountability and support.

Consistency. Accountability. Support. These are the core principles of Tending Fire Men’s Groups. It’s why they work. It’s what men need, as a baseline, for anything else that is good, to grow in their life.

In four words - states, stages, cycles and spirals. This episode is about the distinction between “states of consciousness” and “stages of development”; it’s about the difference between “cycles” and “spirals”; it’s about the journey of growth, and offers a map of the terrain that will keep you from getting lost.

Yes. It’s time for men to claim a new, life-affirming, expression of masculine identity. The question is - how are we going to do it? Actually, the question is more like - where are we going to do it? We need a place to be real, so we can get clear about what we stand for, and where we stand. This kickoff, “welcome” episode gives you the “who, what, where, when, why and how” - of the growing Tending Fire Men’s Group Community. If you identify as a man, it will remind you why this work is essential for your soul. If you identify as other than “he/his,” this podcast will inspire you to tell the men in your life to get involved. (Recorded March 2020).
