Open to anyone age 12 and up. Please bring a mat if you have one and wear comfortable athletic clothes.  Open Men's Group - Monday, December 2 in the Cedar Room, 6:00pm – 8:00pm.  Imagine a circle of brothers where you’re invited share your truth, clarify your vision for the life you want, gain the tools you need for action, find your strength, and hold yourself accountable.  This is how our weekly Open Men's Group will function:  Mission: To provide a space for men to feel safe around other men.  Intentions:  We are committed that more men find a safe circle to sit in where they can speak and be heard.  That this is a safe space for men to connect with themselves and each other.  That as a result, men become more aware of their thoughts and feelings.  To facilitate this, we commit to the following Guidelines:  What I say here is confidential (except in cases of abuse or neglect).  There may be mandatory reporters in this group (ask for those who are to identify themselves). A mandatory reporter is required by law to report alleged abuse of:  Children, Adults age 65 and over, Adults with developmental disabilities, Adults with mental illness, and Residents in nursing facilities.  Outside this group, I will not share another man’s words, actions, or identity. I will only speak of my own experience and personal insights.  I will speak openly and truthfully in “I” statements (not “you” or “he” statements).  Any man may pass at any time.  Any man may STOP a process (especially in the service of maintaining safety).  I am not here to give advice. If I want advice, I will ask for it specifically.  I will ask permission before offering feedback.  I am responsible for taking care of myself. If I need something, I will ask for it. If I have questions, I will ask them.  If I identify with what another man is saying, I may raise my hand rather than cross commenting. Any man may pass.  This group is not a substitute for therapy and is not a process group.  This group is facilitated by volunteers from the ManKind Project (MKP) with hosting, support, and refreshments provided by Coos Bay Library.  Upcoming Meetings:  Monday, December 9 @ 6:00pm; Monday, December 16 @ 6:00pm; Monday, December 30 @ 6:00pm.
