Undaunted Men’s Groups
At The Undaunted Man, we offer 3 distinct levels of mens’ groups, to cater to men at most stages of their spiritual and personal journey.
Grounded Masculinity is for men who are near the beginning of their spiritual and personal development journey. These men know they want more out of life but aren’t sure yet what that entails.
Personal Mastery & Leadership is for men ready to step up as leaders and be the best they can be. These men will each commit to a big, life-changing goal that will push them out of their comfort zones and help them grow towards the man their Spiritual source (however they define that) wants them to be.
Applied Spirituality, Spiritual Seeking & Mentorship is for men who are ready to commit to a spiritual path. They want to become spiritually grounded or deepen their existing spiritual connection, and practice living in alignment with that connection.
Interested? Here’s more about each group:
Grounded Masculinity
This Group Is Right For You…
If you don’t know your purpose in life, but you’re committed to finding it….
If you’re materially successful, but you are unfulfilled or dissatisfied in other areas of your life….
If you struggle to stay grounded and/or you feel hammered by your life…
Nuts and Bolts
– Each group is facilitated and led by either Geoff Laughton or Mark Johnson, each of whom has over 20 years of experience leading mens’ groups.
– Groups meet twice per month, for 2 hours per meeting. Meetings are generally conducted via Zoom, but are in-person if all the men in the group are in the same area.
– Groups have a Marco Polo channel for regular check-ins
– Groups have a Slack channel for additional recommended readings & videos from group leaders.
– Group leaders periodically assign certain books to support each man in his own work.
– Each group runs for 6 months.
– Total cost is $1,500 ($250/m x 6 months). You may attend two meetings free in order to feel out whether or not the group is a good fit for you and if you’re a good fit for the group.
What’s Expected Of You?
– During meetings, you will give your undivided attention to the group and whichever brother is currently doing work. Each member should silence their cell phones during the meeting. Being distracted is allowed if your house is literally on fire, otherwise discouraged.
– Show up to every meeting on-time or 5-10 minutes early. Don’t make your brothers wait for you.
– Check in 3x/week on Marco Polo, and engage with and support your brothers’ check-ins to facilitate their personal growth.
– Read assigned books to help you grow.
– Confidentiality: whatever is said in the group is not shared outside of the group. Period. You may share whatever you wish about your own work, but the confidentiality of your brothers is an iron-clad commitment.
Expected Outcomes
If you consistently do the work, this group will help you:
– Determine and live according to your purpose.
– Become grounded and authentic. Stay centered even in the middle of a storm.
– Be comfortable as a strong, masculine man.
– Find your own North Star, and start becoming the man that you aspire to be.
Once you’ve reached these outcomes, the work doesn’t stop. Personal development is a path with no end. But it does signal that you’re ready to progress to Personal Mastery & Leadership.
Personal Mastery & Leadership
This Group Is Right For You…
If you’re ready to take on a life-changing goal….
If you recognize that your “comfort zone” is holding you back from the life you want….
If you’ve started to subordinate your ego, and you’re ready to go deeper….
If you’re willing to be accountable, willing to charge headlong at your obstacles, and willing to take direct feedback from your brothers who are committed to helping you live your best life….

What Do Our Men Say?
“If you’re looking to get real feedback from men who give a shit about you and call it as they see it then The Undaunted Men’s groups are for you. I am absolutely in a better place having a solid support group of men.
“To be seen, heard, and encouraged by men I respect and connect with has been an unwavering source of strength and support that I can no longer imagine my life without. Without any reservation, I recommend The Undaunted Men’s groups to any man looking to improve and better himself through all of life’s many challenges.”
