Into Me, See - a group for men
The socialisation of males from boyhood disconnects them from their feelings and directs their attention to their performance and status in the world. In the playground, boys quickly learn that vulnerability, vital to developing intimacy, is considered weak and should be avoided at all costs.
It’s not that men aren’t capable of or don’t need intimacy as much as women, it’s just in most cases they simply haven’t been given the chance to develop the capacity or skills for intimacy. So by the time he reaches adulthood, a man can sometimes feel that intimacy is foreign and even confronting, and yet it’s the very thing he often craves and certainly needs for his own wellbeing, relationship and family life.
Into Me, See establishes the foundations of intimacy through discussion, reflection and a range of activities. It enables men to gain a better understanding and embodiment of intimacy. We provide you with opportunities to practise skills so you can develop intimacy more fully in all parts of your life.
