Men's Groups
Drop-In Men’s Group
What is this? A bi-monthly mens group that meets in person in Boulder, CO that is open to men that need support. If you’ve been curious about men’s work, or just haven’t been able to find a group to join yet, this place is for you. And even if you are a men’s group veteran, you are welcome here.
When? Every other Tuesday at 6pm till 8:30pm. We start promptly at 6pm, so please arrive 10 min early. See the Calendly link for open times. We are limited to 8 men joining per group. If there is enough interest, I will add another meeting in the off week.
Why? We need support. And we need places to gather to support each other. Men’s groups have been invaluable to my own life, and I know far to many men that are living life without knowing how important it is to have these sacred spaces to gather. My ideal is that men come, meet community, and eventually start their own groups with men they vibe with from this group. Please feel free to share this page with men that you think would be a good fit to join us.
Costs? $30/group. Send payment when you reserve your space. Venmo is @BunanBrown
Where? We will meet at the Boulder Healing Hub. The address is 1650 38th St. Suite 100E Room 19.

What is attachment? Our attachment systems are shaped from the earliest days by our relationship with our parents. It’s the way we learn to emotionally respond to life. It’s the unconscious responses we have in relationships. It’s most commonly known as avoidant, anxious, and secure, but there’s much more to the story than that.
Our attachment strategies are the ways we learned to emotionally regulate ourselves. And if we don’t address them directly, they will continue to stay as they are.
Most people are familiar with the fight, flight, and freeze responses, but what is paid lesser attention is the safety part of that equation. That’s what we will be focusing on cultivating. Embodied and relational safety. Otherwise known as secure attachment.
Why do this? Your relationships are one of the most important areas of your life. And trying to navigate your relational world without a practical understanding of what attachment really is just makes life more difficult than it should be.
Your attachment system impacts just about every area of your life, most obviously in the area of relationship. But it also expands much farther than that. We will cover practices that allow you to track yourself in daily life, and we will also learn how to support each other, and our loved ones, in the various styles of attachment communication, and well-being.
You will learn to feel attachment from the inside out.
Most of us haven’t been taught about emotional intelligence, or even interpersonal intelligence in our schooling. And it’s really just in the last few years that the importance of healing our attachment systems has started to be understood.
In these 9 weeks, we will cover the various domains of experience that have to be nurtured in order to heal our attachment systems. We will be exploring both the intellectual approaches, but much more importantly, we will be exploring the embodied approaches to healthy attachment.
This time together will be a deep dive into both the theory, and practical application, of what healthy attachment looks like in your life.
Some of the areas we will cover in depth will be:
Regulation and Co-regulation
Attunement
Embodied safety
What are the attachment strategies?
Healing trauma in relationships
Interpersonal neurobiology
How to reach for help when we need it
How to process emotions nonverbally and somatically
What are needs and how do we get them met
Rupture and Repair processes
What to look for in the dating world
How to support and be supported by Men
Cultivating on-going support
Men need places where we can dive into the tender terrain of emotional vulnerability.
And unfortunately, society hasn’t quite set us up for success with that.
This is your place, and we are in this together.
