Being In Relationship:
A New Dads Group for Alumni
Ready to go deeper? You've been in the circle. You know what it's like to sit with other dads who get it—the weight of wanting to show up better, the relief of honest conversation, the power of not feeling alone. This new cohort is for those ready to dig into the heart of what makes or breaks our experience as fathers: how we're in relationship—with ourselves, our partners, our kids, our extended family, and the people who matter most.
What We'll Explore Together
Six Tuesday evening sessions (dads only):
-
Opening: Accelerate connection to build the foundation for our work together
-
Relationship to Self: The inner work that changes everything else
-
Relationship to Child: Deepening connection across ages and stages
-
Relationship to Partner/Co-Parent: Beyond logistics to real partnership
-
Relationship to Extended Family: Navigating grandparents, in-laws, and other caregivers
-
Relationship to Community: Building the village you want to be part of
​Plus two Sunday potlucks (bring your kids): dads dadding together

Sliding Scale Details
In the spirit of financial accessibility, group membership is offered at a sliding scale modeled after Alexis Cunningfolk​.
​
Standard Membership at $300 is the actual cost of running eight sessions. Making this investment means you might have to cut back on some discretionary spending (restaurant/cafe, concert, new outfit), but the sacrifice is short-term and won't harm you in the long term.
Supported Membership at $200 is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. You are able to save up to pay for the group, but the Standard Membership would mean saving for longer than 6 months.
​
Pay-It-Forward Membership at $400+ supports the lower tier of the sliding scale, scholarships, and future free and low-cost programs. It's an opportunity to not only be in the group but also support your fellow community members while you're at it. Super! If you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life, this price is for you.
​No one turned away for lack of funds. If the membership fee poses a barrier to your participation, contact Andrew and we'll find another arrangement: 510.459.3135.
