An Authentic, Trusting & Powerful Men's Circle

Many of us arrive at MDI looking for something. At this point in our lives we have had several challenges. Some that have made us better, some that have rocked the foundation of everything we know and experience in our daily lives. We have felt isolated, alone, burdened, broken even. I was unsure that anything outside of me could hold solutions, or that it was possible for me to learn new ways of being that would connect me with other men-that I could find a place where I could develop into mature masculinity to be able to not only solve some of my problems, but learn how to lead teams of men. This begs a question: How is the world better off with Mature Masculine Leadership, and what is in it for me? Here are a few answers. If your interest is peaked, consider reaching out to us, claim your future... The world is significantly better off with **Mature Masculine Leaders** because such leadership brings a balanced, grounded, and principled approach to power, responsibility, and service. Here's how this benefits society: Mature masculine leaders typically embody **emotional regulation, self-mastery, and integrity**. This creates more stable governments, organizations, and families. These leaders don’t react impulsively or let ego drive decisions—they respond with clarity, long-term thinking, and accountability. *They become anchors in chaos.* The benefit to the world is **transformational**. Mature masculine leaders don't just govern—they **mentor, stabilize, and serve**. Their presence often leads to safer societies, stronger institutions, healthier families, and more cohesive communities. When men lead from maturity, not insecurity or domination, **everyone—regardless of gender—thrives.** Mentor Discover Inspire (MDI) is an international men's organization. You can also [visit our website ](https://www.mentordiscoverinspire.org/) to find out more about us. There is a form there which can help find an MDI Team in your area. If you fill out the form we will get back to you about starting the process of joining an MDI Team.

Tend in the Trees: A Nature-Based Gathering for Women

Join us for a small, guided gathering in the Oakland Hills designed for women in their 40s and 50s who are looking to slow down, connect, and spend meaningful time in nature and community. Life in midlife often brings unexpected transitions—changes in relationships, family, work, identity, or simply a longing to feel more grounded and connected. This gathering offers a chance to step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with yourself alongside other women. Led by two licensed therapists with over 40 years of combined experience, the gathering blends the restorative qualities of nature with thoughtful facilitation, relational connection, and simple somatic practices. We'll begin with a gentle grounding exercise and guided conversation, followed by time in nature. You'll have the option to take a leisurely walk or find a quiet place to sit, journal, or simply be. We'll close the morning together with reflection, connection, and practices designed to help you leave feeling more present, grounded, and restored. This is not a therapy group or a hiking group. Rather, it's an opportunity to spend intentional time outdoors, connect with other thoughtful women, and experience the benefits of slowing down in the company of nature and community. **What to expect:** * A welcoming, small-group atmosphere * Facilitated by two licensed therapists * Guided opening and closing circles * Gentle somatic and mindfulness practices * Time for quiet reflection in nature * Optional easy walking (or simply relaxing outdoors) * Meaningful conversation and community Please bring water, comfortable walking shoes, layers, and a journal and pen. Space is limited to encourage connection, so advance registration is required.

*Imagine for a moment: You find yourself coming to today's event. The sun is shining down over San Francisco. You can see the bright reflections in the skyrises as the shadows of clouds sweep across the cityscape.* *You find yourself in a trance. You're having an amazing time.* *You see yourself helping somebody else change their mind.* *You're having an amazing time.* We're going to meet in Dolores Park to practice hypnosis. If you've got some new technique you've learned about and want to try on willing subjects, now's your chance. New to all this? Come see what it's all about. Feedback will be offered, opportunities to practice, receive work, ask questions, or just observe, will all be available. Expect to see or participate in experiences between 5-15 minutes in length. Techniques geared for therapeutic work or performance are both welcome. I will try to find a spot on the grass near the path between the multi use court and the tennis courts. I will have a sign. Look for updates below in the comments day of to see if the location was altered due to loud music or anything else. (Due to the dangers involved, regressive techniques will not be permitted at practice groups unless performed by a qualified psychotherapist who is familiar with, and in agreement with, current scientific research involving regression)
