This impact comes from biology and from society. Being a man offers you privilege and benefits and also limits and restrains you. Learning about both sides of this coin can increase your self-awareness and happens most effectively together with other men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">As men we need each other for our growth and learning. That&#8217;s why all our events happen in group and are designed with the intention to support men to explore what it means for them to be a man. We try to understand how being a man has an impact on you as a person, on your relationships and on your way of being in the world. This understanding helps to gradually enlarge the box that masculinity tends to put men in and develop your own version of masculinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">As a consequence men feel more at ease, more free, more themselves and less lonely (watch <a href=\"https:\/\/thomasameel.be\/betweenmen#video\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Between Men Welcome video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MV9onvFQZIc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\" id=\"box\"><strong>What do we mean with the &#8216;box of masculinity&#8217;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Many men go through their day to day with limiting definitions of what it means to be a man. Men are often more constrained by these definitions than they might realize. Through messages coming from various experiences in their lives, men put themselves in a box that is too small for them. They end up chopping off important parts of themselves in order to conform to expectations that they receive from and perceive in their environments.\u2028This male box defines and limits how men relate to themselves, to others and to the world. This box doesn\u2019t fit all of what a man is or can be. As a result men keep some parts of themselves hidden and don\u2019t fully bring themselves into the world. This gets in the way of expressing, connecting and belonging.<br><br>This struggle is present in different ways, but certainly in how men relate to each other. As a result finding support and deeper connection among men is challenging or simply feels unavailable.\u2028\u2028<br><br>Enlarging this box and bringing ourselves out into the world more fully is more effective when we do it together with other men. Being present and open with other men allows us to see how we are similar to each other, which creates connections, and allows us to be seen in our difference, which supports our uniqueness. It is this combination of connecting and expressing our difference that makes us grow out of the box, into a fuller, healthier and more resourced male self. Your own version of masculinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thomasameel.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/men-in-circle-drawing.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"798\" src=\"http:\/\/thomasameel.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/men-in-circle-drawing.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-981\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.179054054054054;width:349px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thomasameel.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/men-in-circle-drawing.png 940w, https:\/\/thomasameel.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/men-in-circle-drawing-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/thomasameel.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/men-in-circle-drawing-768x652.png 768w, https:\/\/thomasameel.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/men-in-circle-drawing-353x300.png 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Between Men<\/strong> is men&#8217;s work project, currently active in Antwerp and Brussels, that offers men a place where they get a chance to explore masculinity together with other men.

Cis men have historically enjoyed a lot of privilege and power in society, and still do. However, times are changing and are asking cis men to be more flexible in the positions they take up in society.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A \u2018cis men affinity group\u2019 is by no means meant to return to what has been or to reclaim some of what is changing (read more below about what Between Men is <strong>not<\/strong>). <br>On the contrary, Between Men wholeheartedly supports the changing times and the increase of diversity in self-expression, (gender) identity, privilege and power distribution. \u2028The intention of the focus on cis men is to offer a space where cis men can learn and grow together to find more comfort and ease in that changing world we\u2019re in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regarding language: \u2028\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Between Men wants to be a place where the language diversity of a city like Brussels can be represented. For that reason all communication for the Between Men events will happen in English. We choose to communicate and work in a language that for most of us will not be our mother tongue, because that equalizes effort as much as possible. Inevitably this will also exclude some people.\u2028<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2028English is the spoken language during the events and all facilitators will speak English when addressing the group. This doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t be creative at times and participants are free to speak their own language if they feel the need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Content of the meetings<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Through conversations, experience, sharing, listening and feeling you\u2019ll get a chance to increase your self-awareness about yourself as a man. All of what we\u2019ll do in the group meetings can be understood as \u2018exploring our masculinity, deepening our understanding of who we are as a man and growing our compassion for the man we find ourselves to be\u2019.<br>That doesn&#8217;t mean the focus will always be explicitly on &#8216;masculinity&#8217;. However, since we&#8217;ll be a group of men together, male issues will emerge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most of the meetings will be structured according to a certain theme or topic, like \u2018being a man\u2019, \u2018vulnerability\u2019, \u2018male friendship\u2019, \u2018conflict and anger\u2019, &#8216;authenticity&#8217;, to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All of the meetings will be facilitated by a professional facilitator with or without the help of a colleague.
