These groups are opportunities to learn outstanding leadership skills, understand oneself and others better, build connections, and develop a community of integritous leaders.
In our busy lives we have tendency to get stuck on the treadmill; life begins to lead us rather than us taking life by the reigns and designing our own path. The path of busyness and automation can be lonely. And it can be challenging to jump, or even step off the treadmill. With a community of people to support you, it becomes more than plausible, it feels like a worthwhile and inspirational project. You have people to draw on when times feel tougher, and community to keep you accountable.
We return to what humanity was meant to be!
The curriculum is built to help people realize the role they play in their own story and work toward living intentionally. There are three courses, each with ten gatherings. Groups can be run over 5 days or 5-12 months.
Here’s a little synopsis:
Understanding our story as a story not the story, and implementing change in our own lives through choice
We, a group of eight men or women, sit on the beach, build shelter if it's raining, and build fire regardless. We then jump into the course material. Each group starts with a check-in, what are you carrying around with you in this moment. Then we do a short meditation to support us with becoming fully present for ourselves and our group members.
We collectively take the opportunity to step back into creating community, a brotherhood or sisterhood, and to open up to life evaluation and expression in ways that many have not explored, and some have not even realized is possible. We learn leadership skills which help us to live with greater patience, understanding, strength, and confidence.
The format can take place either outdoors, or at a large private residence with very appropriate indoor and outdoor space. We will mostly be sitting in a circle and talking - with written, mobilizing, and discussion activities built in throughout. Each program comes with a workbook as well as a book to read. Exercises are provided to do between gatherings, some of which will be with a partner from within the group.
Feel free to take a look at the website: mensgroupvancouver.ca, it explains some of the foundational ideas.
The website for the women, womensgroupvancouver.ca is still under construction.
The program has proven to be transformational for many of the participants. Ultimately, it teaches people skills to live intentionally, recognizing many of the components of their lives that reside in automation, and to choose a path that lines up with their mission, vision, and values which leads them on a path of leadership with integrity.
This is an opportunity for people to live intentionally, and discover TRUE life satisfaction.
What would living each day with confidence change for you?

“Dave Robens and his powerful Men’s Group has had a radically positive and transformational impact on my life. For example, I'll never forget the moment Dave looked at me and said 'what are you complicating right now?' That simple question at just the right time marked a significant shift in me. Not only have I been growing exponentially as a human being, my impact as a coach specializing in personal and business transformations has been taken to a whole new level. Perhaps most importantly I’ve made several new connections with guys whom I now refer to as close friends. Dave himself is a highly inspirational, wise, insightful, caring and high-integrity individual. He’s also the hardest worker I know. If you are looking for community, collaboration, growth and transformation then Dave and his powerful groups are as good as it gets.”

"Very powerful insights and amazing take outs to be put into practice in our daily lives. Totally recommend this to fellow men. Grab this opportunity and become better men, men!"

"I spent a week in Dave Robens' Bali men's group and it was excellent. There were 8 of us men in the group. I would highly recommend this program. It creates the opportunity for men to step back into creating community, and open up to looking at our lives in ways that many have not explored. He covers fatherhood, defining self, desires, fears, choice, perfection, complication, trust, pain, presence. Some of the work resonated very deeply with me. Ultimately, the program was useful for me in realigning my priorities and just having a fresh look at life. It was a well spent week."

"For me this group has been the peak of Bali so far. In density, depth and fun too. I have always loved the idea that in community and in relationship we are healthier, stronger, happier and it is hard to find better evidence than this week. Men - do it for your children, do your own development for their sake."

"Many people know me and how balanced and perfect my life seems. But really, I needed a little help becoming a better man to my family and friends. I gained such incredible tools to help with my relationships. It helped me be a better communicator with my partner, family and friends. I can't recommend this program enough that I'm thinking about joining it again. This is a positive life changer not to be missed. You can go about your daily life or gain wisdom and skill sets to improve all aspects of your relationships. I also met and bonded with some incredible men who will be in my life forever. My relationships have deepened and I'm so thankful to have been able to experience a program like this. Dave is the best!"

"Very well run course with Dave as a very caring and compassionate facilitator. We went pretty deep individually and as a group bonded well together. There are so many options for self development, this is the one to pick! Try to get in men, it can easily be the best week of your life."
