You may not know it but Breakthrough for Men is one of our allies here on the Peninsula and is deserving of our moral and financial support. Here’s why:

Breakthrough for Men and its sister organization, Break Free, are homegrown organizations focused on helping people become more alive, awake and connected.

Many communities have found the value in working in same-sex groups that will allow participants to disengage from deeply ingrained patterns of interaction between the sexes which can facilitate learning about those patterns.

Breakthrough for Men presents a series of workshops that give men a place where they can be safe, valued and welcome, just as they are right now, to look at their life experiences and what patterns those experiences have left them with. Becoming alive, awake, and connected sometimes means sitting with difficult feelings.

Sometimes men participating in Breakthrough workshops discover patterns which no longer serve them and decide they want to make changes. Breakthrough can support people making those changes; to become more authentic, better partners, better parents and more loving citizens of this world.

Breakthrough for Men is about men supporting other men to uncover their aliveness and to build fulfilling relationships. We share. We listen. We learn, together with the vision of growing an ever expanding community of men that reflects the diversity of human experience. We work to liberate each other from deep rooted patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting and to become more loving.

And, like UUs, love is the center of our mission as well.
