Connect'd Men

Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and Parkland County, Alberta

A men’s group for Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and Parkland County.

We don’t have a gathering in the Tri-Region yet. Until we do, men here meet with us online: free, no pressure to talk, and close enough to home that you can be back in the kitchen the minute it ends.

Men in Stony Plain and Spruce Grove

Out here a lot of men know everybody and still have no one to talk to. You see the same faces at the rink, the shop and the coffee counter, and the conversation never goes past the weather and the Oilers.

A Connect'd Men gathering goes further than that, at your pace. The online gathering follows the same steady format as every chapter: a few minutes to arrive, a check-in, a conversation around a theme, and a check-out. You can just listen for as long as you like.

It’s free, there’s no pressure to talk, and no one has to have it figured out.

What happens

Every gathering, the same four parts

  1. Mindfulness

    We start each gathering with a few minutes of mindfulness to help everyone settle in and be present.

  2. Check-ins

    Each man checks in with how he’s doing, in body and mind, without needing to explain or justify it.

  3. Theme and deep dive

    A theme guides the conversation, but you’re always free to explore what’s most present for you.

  4. Check-outs

    We close by sharing how we feel now, noticing any shifts, and each naming one thing we’re taking with us.

A gathering in Stony Plain and Spruce Grove

It starts with one man.

Every Connect'd Men chapter began with someone who wanted this in his own town. You don’t need to be an expert. Facilitators get training, a library of themes, and the tools to invite men and take RSVPs. Three or four men around a table is a gathering.
