Charity Groups For Men

Interested? Contact Preston Moore k.preston.moore@gmail.com 614-300-5989 ———————————— Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work. Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback. We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet. Visit ManKind Project USA to discover more. https://mkpusa.org/

CAPA Summer Movie: UNFORGIVEN at the at the Ohio Theatre!

Wed, Aug 5, 10:50 PM

From Ohio Virtual Men's Group: Connect, Support, Elevate

Join guest host Barb and the group as we get together for a CAPA Summer Movie event to see Clint Eastwood’s Best Picture-winning western, UNFORGIVEN! The film is a complex and brilliant revisionist western that stars Clint Eastwood (who also directs), Gene Hackman, Morgan Feeman and Richard Harris. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows an Old West gunslinger who reluctantly takes on one last job to avenge an injustice with the help of his old partner and a young would-be gunman calling himself "The Schofield Kid." It stars Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris and Clint Eastwood, who also directs! BUZZ & ACCLAIM: A hit with critics and audiences alike, UNFORGIVEN is hailed as a modern-day masterpiece! Unlike previous westerns, the film avoids simply back-and-white morality by brilliantly deconstructing the romanticized myth of the American west by exploring the brutal, haunting consequences of violence and aging. It won 4 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director for Clint Eastwood, Best Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Gene Hackman. The film has an incredible 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says, “As both director and star, Clint Eastwood strips away decades of Hollywood varnish applied to the Wild West, and emerges with a series of harshly eloquent statements about the nature of violence.” Others call it Clint Eastwood’s “finest achievement” and declare, “a better modern western has yet to be made!” In 2004, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU6U3qxidhM THE OHIO THEATRE: The Ohio Theatre is located at 39 E. State Street, between 3rd and High Streets, across the street from the Ohio Statehouse. From classical music to modern dance, yearly family traditions to hot concerts, the world’s best artists come to the 2,791-seat, historic Ohio Theatre. The breathtaking details (including the 21-foot-high chandelier!) of its opulent, Spanish-Baroque architecture make any night at the Ohio Theater an event to remember! PRE-SHOW ENTERTAINMENT: Now celebrating his 33rd year as featured organist for the CAPA Summer Movie Series, Clark Wilson will again provide pre-show entertainment at the keyboards and controls of the Ohio Theatre’s treasured “Mighty Morton” theatre organ 30 minutes prior to each screening. PARKING: Parking is available at Columbus Commons Parking Garage off 3rd or Rich Streets or in Statehouse Parking Garage off 3rd Street. You can find out more about parking in Downtown Columbus by visiting the Downtown Columbus website. PLAN: Purchase your ticket for the 7:30pm showing and we’ll meet outside the theater between 6:50 and 7:00pm. We’ll head in early to get good seats and enjoy the pre-show organ music! TICKETS: Tickets just $6 adult / $5 senior and advance purchase is advised! Parking is available under the Capital building, in the nearby garage, or on the nearby streets. You can purchase your ticket at the box office on the day of the event or online here: https://www.capa.com/capa-summer-movie-series/ Look forward to seeing you there, Barb

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter

Tue, Aug 11, 8:50 PM

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!

Sat, Aug 15, 11:00 PM

4.9

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact** ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6315db1eb8d081603d9ea/028252c7-347e-4196-8c79-b81d2a4db4bb/Mountaineering+Guide+Trifold+Brochure+in+Pink+White+Modern+Minimalist+Style+-+2.jpg) Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!

Drunken Philosophy: Does (a) God Exist?

Sat, Aug 8, 11:00 PM

From The Columbus Movie Group

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. The consensus at the July 25th DP was that the next prompt be the question above. I said I would write it, although I can't attend since that is the day of our Humanist Community of Central Ohio's member picnic. First maybe we should define what is meant by "god". Is it the god of the old testament or the new testament? Is it Spinoza's god? Is it a deist? Is god male, female or neither? Is the Tao a god? With thousands of religions in the world, which one has the absolute correct version of THE supreme being? Well, you get the idea. Anyway--right up front--I say categorically that NO god(s) exist or ever have existed. The reasons: we know how the universe and the Earth began and developed: physics, chemistry, geology, and biology--not by means of any supernatural intervention. Second, for "Christianity" the Bible is claimed as the evidence and/or proof of God but the Bible is a mish mash assembled by multiple writers over time and assimilates many traditions of much earlier Mesopotamian religions and contains so many contradictions how can it be "un-erring"? Finally, and for me, the clinching question: where is just one piece of evidence of any god's existence? Just ONE piece! I am sure some of you will not buy these arguments but that is why we get together to respectfully and intelligently discuss philosophical questions. I'll miss the lively discussion. Enjoy the evening and the discussion! As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
