Our men's group is a super unique space, very different then hanging out with your bros. We create a confidential space to speak about real life, both the glory and the mess.
It's a place to practice speaking our truth, even about our darkest shadow side (something all men have). It's a place to practice listening. It's a place to recieve support and different perspectives. It's a place to witness other men going through similar things. You are not alone!
Our east van squad is part of the greater ARKA Brotherhood, an organization that was founded in Vancouver, BC, and has grown to over 600 men now. We operate in squads of approximately 10 men each, while being connected to the greater movement of conscious men. We are guided by the 14 point ARKA code.
Being part of a men's group has been HUGE for me personally. It's given me more self-awareness, groundedness, a better ability to communicate directly, and access to a bold masculine edge.
There's something about the group container that is unmatched. The community give and take is so much more then individual support.
If you're curious about joining our supportive band of brothers, please email. We are friendly and welcoming to new men walking the conscious path.
Dustin is an excellent leader and a great teacher. His naturally patient and easy-going demeanour makes learning really easy and fun. He’s a highly capable communicator who has lots of creativity and ideas. Highly recommended!

I’ve seen Dustin listen, empathize, ask questions, and give great advice, on a whole host of issues (many being very intimate and vulnerable subjects). He’s a fantastic resource for all things personal development and fatherhood.

Dustin is a keen listener. He has a special way of blending positivity, humour, and raw honesty in his feedback that has validated my life experiences and helped me grow.
I always feel inspired by his passion for life. I have a deep level of trust with Dustin and would recommend him to help brighten your future!

Dustin is a leader who led by example, are open to critism and have a focus on change as needed in life. For someone who is learning to express themselves it was good to see my leader talk about understanding and identifying emotions and to act accordingly to my values regardless of external circumstances.

Dustin is an exceptional group leader, consistently offering quality, seamless guidance week after week. He somehow walks that fine line between knowing when to push the group along to another subject and when to back off, and he does so with genuine ease. The biggest surprise for me was how well Dustin handles a group's bigger, messier emotions, never shying away from the difficult work that needs to be done. He possesses a real knack for knowing the right words to say and, more importantly, when to say them. If you can work with Dustin, then go ahead and do it.
