Core Activation Circle - Drop-In Ticket

Whether you are new to The Grounded Man community, or have been with us since the beginning - the Core Activation Circle is open to you! Come try it out for free! This weekly event is the place for men in Ottawa to gather, connect and grow together - on more of an emotional level, than an intellectual level. It's a space to regularly recharge and recalibrate yourself, build deep connections and confidence with other men, and to learn new ways to relate to others, and express and show up for yourself. 

As men, we need spaces like this. We often meet up for drinks and food, or play sports, or go to the gym with our buddies - which are all great and a fun time - and, there is only so much depth that can be created in these places. We need to explore and unpack the full depth of the human experience together. To share and explore what it's like to be a man in this wild modern world. We sit around the metaphorical fire together, and learn to deepen our presence and connection with ourselves and with each other. We learn to acknowledge, share and trust our emotions and our stories with each other which is what community, and Brotherhood, is all about. We have each others backs through hardships, and we hold each other accountable to moving towards our goals and our personal mission, perhaps even cocreating collective missions, while celebrating every single win together along the way.

These weekly meetings are held here locally in Ottawa, on a weekly basis at FORTIS Spine and Sport in Kanata.  It's a place to stay connected on our journeys, and support each other in moving forward in all areas of lives - personal health, relationships, business - so that we can show up as the grounded and powerful Men, that our families, our communities, and this world need.

A typical Core Activation Circle schedule looks like this:

7:45PM - doors open, (time to arrive early and mingle, or for the humans who often find themselves to be running late (me :P) - consider this your 'meeting start time')

8:00PM - doors close, circle opens (no entry once doors close, no exceptions)

8:01 - 8:20 - Welcome (announcements, events, housekeeping) + Opening the Circle with Community Agreements and Checking In

8:21 - 8:45 - Grounding Practice (various breathwork/meditation/visualization/movement practices)

8:46 - 9:45 - Sharing Circle

9:45 - 9:59 - Final Thoughts and Checking Out
