Hi there friends, I hope everyone is having a lovely start to Spring. Just wanted to pop in and announce our 3rd Annual Men's Nature Retreat. We've had a lot of fun with these and have gotten a lot of great work done out in nature. Feel free to check it out and/or share.

Join us for our 3rd Annual end of summer retreat in mid-Michigan. We had a blast last year on the land and we are excited to reach even more men this year through a weekend of wellness, movement, and nature therapy.

TAKE SOME SPACE

For:

Yourself
Your kids
Your family
Your health
Your need for nature
Your relaxation
Your grief
Your joy
Your sadness

My holidays wish for you would be to find some time to take the space needed to help you feel restored during this holiday time. In the matter of 5 mins running errands on lunch today I saw 3 separate road-rage incidents and I think we could all use the reminder. Take a moment to breathe and find out what you need this break, no matter how big or small and be nice to people.

Looking forward to some big things this coming year:

1st Winter retreat
Men’s therapy training in Colorado this winter
Moving from a solo to group practice
Offering groups and retreats to include male teens
Aligning with my values in relationships
Helping more men
Celebrating my 35th year

Going to take a break from the socials until the new year to take my own space as I wrap up business items and take time to pause around a nice long couple of weekends, but I wanted to wish you a very Happy Holidays and hope the best for you this coming year, thanks for interacting with this page as a friend, colleague, or stranger curious about helping men.

Take good care,

Mike

Our latest news

Hi there,

Mike here from Metro-Detroit Men's Therapy. I hope the start of this Holiday Season is going well for you and that life is good. As we near closer to year's end, I wanted to share some news of what has been going on here as well as some exciting news for this late winter.

We were stoked to have a very successful 2nd end of summer retreat this past September (see below) in Big Rapids, MI and the new location really delivered in terms of the accommodations and how the land held us for the weekend. We are looking forward to making this our usual end of summer spot. We are also wrapping our Fall 8-week men's group and look to launch another cohort in early Spring.

Prepping for 2024

Rules, Rituals, and Routines

As we draw closer to a new year, something we are going over in group right now as well as with current clients, is the idea of establishing rules, routines, and rituals for your new year.

I am big fan of setting intentions for the new year, but much like a lot of people I have noticed falling short or not having the right guard rails up around the values that I want to bring to life. Then, I heard of the three R's: Rules, Rituals, and Routines, and it has shifted things in my life in a meaningful way.

To start, take about minutes to reflect and journal on how you want to show up in this new year with your relationship(s), money, and/or career. Next, work on the rules (standards that will be followed), routines (daily/weekly schedule to get there), and rituals (transitions that help mark meaning to change). Continue to write these out and stick with them for one month and assess if you're closer to your intentions of how you would like to be living. Need help with clarity, meaningful rest, or shaking the winter blues? Check out our Winter Retreat Offering below!

Men's Winter Retreat '24

I am very excited to announce the soft launch of our first ever Winter Retreat, happening this Feb 23-25 in Ortonville, MI. This retreat will focus on helping to restore men from winter fatigue and help provide clarity to get after what's important for a healthy and prosperous Spring transition. We will also be learning to journal which will help bring more emotional awareness into your life. Each man will receive a custom leather-bound journal specifically made for our event. The retreat space is only 45 minutes outside of Metro-Detroit and will allow for men to stay over night or commute to the retreat based on their needs. I wanted to offer individuals in my network early access to registration before I announce it publicly and the beginning of the year. Check out the retreat page below to learn more and register. Wishing you and yours a peaceful and restorative Holiday Season.

All the best,

Mike
