Reading group for men

Approaching mid-life can fill a man with dread and fear, but what are we really so scared of? Approaching midlife can provoke a great deal of questions, and many men at this stage in life are looking for answers. How can we find them to better meet the challenges of this life transition?

Using James Hollis’s book 'Living an Examined Life: Wisdom for the Second Half of the Journey' as a guiding source, psychotherapist Raf Goovaerts will be running a confidential reading group for men over eight sessions. Whilst not a therapy group, the intention is for participants to use the source text as a starting point for discussion and exploration of their own experiences of mid-life. This group is open to all individuals who identify as male and wish to explore Hollis’s views of traversing mid-life as it resonates with their own sense of being a man.

The group will meet on the following dates:

• 15.1.19, 22.1.19
• 12.2.19, 19.2.19, 26.2.19
• 12.3.19, 19.3.19, 26.3.19

To get the most out of the group, we require a commitment to all eight sessions.
