Several men’s groups meet at UUCPA. Men facing similar challenges share personal experiences and develop trusted friendships. After a brief check-in, members discuss topics ranging from profound to humorous.
We promise confidentiality, openness, and non-judgmental listening. Active participation is encouraged, and we are excused when family or business matters prevent our attending.

Modern Men

Date: 2nd and 4th Tuesday
Time: 7:30-9 pm
Facilitator: Walt O’Maley and John Phelps. If interested, please email modernmen@uucpa.org.

In today’s fast paced Silicon Valley world, it is very hard for men to reach out and connect with each other on important life issues. Work is getting more challenging, with more demands and expectations. We try our best to have a life outside work, but that is becoming harder to do. Electronic connections and hyper-schedules impede human connections and genuine spontaneity. Often relationship issues arise. Children and family are often significant challenges, too. There are many challenges besides those.
Modern Men is a group that can offer you a tight group of men to share and help with these challenges. In this group we have check-ins, as well as deeper topics, that ask each man to explore what it means for him. It is a supportive and kind atmosphere, but for men who are comfortable being stretched. From time to time we get together and have fun too!! If you are seeking a tight connection to a men’s group and like to share, Modern Men is worth looking into.
