Welcome to the Gainesville Men's Center

The Gainesville Men’s Center (GMC) offers powerful learning and growth experiences for men. Our men’s groups and retreats provide sane, supportive places for men to open up new potentials, examine and change their lives, feel and express emotions, and discover true brotherhood.

Men have been gathering in truth-telling circles since the dawn of time. Every man carries deep soul wisdom, and the capacity for passion, purpose, and healthy personal power. These truly beautiful qualities in men can only be activated and refined in the caring and supportive presence of other men, with leaders who have walked the road themselves. Every man has generous gifts to offer other men as well.

OUR SEVENTH

BIOENERGETICS-MEETS-MEN'S WORK MEN'S RETREAT

NOVEMBER 8-10, 2019

THE FARMHOUSE IN ALACHUA FLORIDA

LEADERS:

ERIC DIAMOND PH.D.

men's work leader/psychotherapist/bioenergetic therapist

ALAN FISCHER

men's initiation leader/shadow work facilitator

Eric and Alan and thirteen beautiful men joined in beautiful Alachua at the Farmhouse for Eric's fortieth retreat as a leader. We entered the story of Daedalus and Icarus, drummed, played, cried, cooked, grieved, rebirthed, raged, and most of all offered sacred generous support to one another. We gave and received blessings. We brought out the best in men.
