Men’s Group For Fathers
7-9pm Wednesdays in Victor, NY
Next cohort dates are:
July 23rd & 30th
August 13th & 27th
September 10th, & 24th
Fatherhood is intense.
The pressure & responsibility, the sleep deprivation, the potential lack of intimacy, the lack of solitary space & time.
The needs of our partners and children can feel like more that we can handle.
We can get triggered. Our old unconscious conditioning causes us to turn inward, to isolate, numb, or lash out at those we love the most.
We cannot bear these burdens alone while remaining the best fathers and husbands we can be. Many of our own fathers tried, so we know where that path leads. And if we rely on our wives for the kind of support we need, we depolarize our relationship by turning them into our mothers.
So, here we are: a group of fathers to support other fathers. To witness each other, hold each other in our challenges, celebrate each other in our wins, and to hold each other accountable.

Facilitators
Eli Harrigan
Eli is men’s group facilitator and certified breathwork practitioner who has studied with David Elliott in New Mexico and Jesse Torgerson in New York.
As a photographer & video editor—and with an education in Western philosophy—it wasn’t until Eli discovered breathwork that he realized he had been living his life entirely inside his head, and that there was another, much more rewarding way of being.
The work has been revolutionary in his personal and professional life, and he is passionate about sharing it with others.
“The breathwork sessions that Eli held were powerful and like nothing I have ever experienced. I can say I was pushed out of my comfort zone while still feeling safe. Eli has a unique energy that made our conversations dynamic and lively.” — Jake
Matt Kaufman
With over five years of facilitation experience, Matt has had the honor of witnessing the transformative power of mens work in the lives of participants.
He’s studied men’s work with Jeffrey James Howard (jeffreyjames.coach) and mindfulness with Michael Rempel (michaelrempel.com) both in Boulder, CO.
Outside of men's groups, Matt is a father of two, leads Software Engineering teams and teaches mindfulness meditation. He believes in helping others realize and experience the preciousness of life.
“Matt interjects a genuine love for men's work and his own personal growth. He has solid leadership skills and strength through vulnerability.” — Pinak

“It was a rich experience that I am honored to have been a part of. If I didn’t take the leap of faith to join I would have missed out on meeting some great men. I loved sharing a circle with them!”
