Men on Djaara | Open iGroup
Description
Men on Djaara | Open iGroup
Men on Djaara is a peer-facilitated men’s Integration Group (iGroup) operating within the iGroup framework of ManKind Project Australia.
We provide a structured environment where initiated and non-initiated men can grow through accountability, self-awareness, leadership, brotherhood and authentic connection.
Unlike a traditional men’s circle, an iGroup follows a consistent framework of shared agreements, peer facilitation and structured process work. Rather than simply talking about life, we work with it—supporting men to develop greater awareness, responsibility and choice through reflection, experiential practices and authentic connection.
Our work draws on the traditions of the ManKind Project Australia and is influenced by archetypal psychology, shadow integration and initiatory men’s work. Men are invited to explore the energies of the Lover, Warrior, Magician and Sovereign, while developing practical leadership skills that strengthen their lives, relationships, families and communities.
Whether you’re new to men’s work or have years of experience, you’re welcome.
