Rewiring Your Identity

This workshop guides gay sober men through the neuroscience of identity change. The brain does not just stop old behaviors. It needs a new story to replace them. This session uses evidence-based tools from neuroplasticity, behavioral psychology, and identity-based coaching to help participants move from "I'm trying to quit drinking" to "This is who I am now." It is grounded, practical, and built for men who are ready to lead their own lives.

Coming Out Twice: Reclaiming Your Identity as a Gay Sober Man

Getting sober as a gay man is a second coming out. It carries the same fear, the same grief, the same liberation, and almost no one talks about it that way. This 60-minute workshop uses neuroscience and lived experience to help gay sober men hold both identities with pride. Participants leave with a clear understanding of how their brain built each identity, and a concrete framework for integrating them into one whole, unapologetic self.

Rising Chorus: Men healing together through song

In a world that often tells men to suffer in silence, this workshop creates a sacred space where men are invited to open their hearts, lift their voices, and find strength in brotherhood and song. We will cover vocal technique and solo singing versus choral singing and the excitement and challenges with performing songs with multiple harmonies. The goal is to perform a three part men’s song in front of an audience.

Sing Your Story: Brotherhood, music, and sobriety

For many men in recovery, the weight of untold stories can be one of the greatest barriers to healing. Shame, silence, and isolation keep those stories locked inside. Sing Your Story creates a brave and supported space where your experience becomes the music — where your pain, your turning point, and your triumph are transformed into something powerful and beautiful.This is not about being a musician. It is about finding words you have never been able to say and setting them to music and sharing them with brothers who truly understand.

Queer Men’s Nervous Systems: Mental Health, Recovery & Healthy Relating

This workshop explores how queer men’s nervous systems are shaped by shame, anxiety, desire, rejection, hookup culture, trauma, and the search for belonging. Drawing from trauma-informed care, recovery work, ACT, relational psychotherapy, and the presenter’s work as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), participants will examine how social anxiety, compulsive behaviors, chemsex, app culture, cruising, overworking, pornography, and avoidance can become coping strategies for loneliness, fear, and dysregulation.

Participants will learn practical skills for managing social anxiety, understanding compulsive repetition, improving nervous-system regulation, and building more authentic forms of connection. The workshop will conclude with structured authentic relating exercises designed to help participants practice vulnerability, grounded communication, emotional presence, and healthier social engagement in real time.

Ask a Doctor. All things recovery from a doctor in recovery!

Most of us feel judged or nervous sharing our recovery journey with our medical providers. This workshop is an opportunity to ask questions and learn about the science of addiction medicine and recovery.

Beyond the Search - Finding Higher Power in Witness, Presence & Perception

At first glance, it sounds like noise, recovery woo-woo or just plain bullshit. But when we stop fighting it… soften our focus… and allow ourselves to see differently… something hidden begins to emerge.

This experiential workshop explores recovery, spirituality, trust, perception, and the search for a Higher Power. Why do some people “get it” immediately while others struggle? What happens when we stop forcing insight and allow discovery to unfold naturally?Through guided exercises, reflection, laughter, conversation, and shared moments of revelation, participants will explore how recovery often asks us to release control, quiet the analytical mind, and develop new ways of perceiving ourselves, others, and the sacred.

No artistic skill or spiritual certainty required — only curiosity. You may leave seeing more than you expected..
