Alchemy of brotherhood

in-person men’s work community in portland, OR

Most men are carrying far more than they let others see.

Pressure. Isolation. Anxiety. Responsibility. Shame. Exhaustion. Disconnection. The sense that somewhere along the way, they lost touch with themselves, their bodies, their purpose, or the deeper vitality that once made them feel alive.

Many of us were never truly shown how to:

  • Process emotion in healthy ways

  • Feel safe being vulnerable

  • Build meaningful brotherhood

  • Lead from grounded confidence rather than performance

  • Stay connected to ourselves while navigating relationships, fatherhood, work, and modern life

Alchemy of brotherhood was created as a space where men can gather honestly, support one another, and grow together.

Not through posturing.
Not through superficial self-improvement.
But through real connection, embodiment, accountability, and truth.

A space that is grounded, safe, real, and transformative

Men need brotherhood. Spaces to gather intentionally, soften their masks and defenses, and remember what it feels like to truly belong. Alchemy of Brotherhood offers gatherings that center themes like:

  • conscious communication

  • relationships and intimacy

  • fatherhood

  • emotional healing

  • nervous system regulation

  • breathwork

  • embodiment practices

  • purpose and direction

  • health and vitality

  • sexuality

  • finance and leadership

  • grief and life transitions

  • brotherhood and authentic connection

Becoming more connected

Alchemy of Brotherhood exists to support men in becoming more integrated, grounded, and embodied leaders in every area of life.

You do not need to have experience with men’s work to participate.

You do not need to have it all figured out.

You simply need a willingness to show up honestly.

Upcoming Events

Take a look at the different kinds of events we have coming up for Alchemy of Brotherhood

Alchemy of Brotherhood MEN'S CIRCLE-- Wednesday July 1st 6-9pm
$45.00

Alchemy of Brotherhood Men’s Circles are at the heart of our offerings and the foundation this organization was built upon.

We gather in radical honesty and transparency, leaning into the inner world of emotions, sensations, beliefs, parts, and the breath. Through co-regulation, embodiment practices, expression, healing touch, catharsis, and integration, we create a space that supports both individual and collective transformation.

This circle is a training ground for bringing more presence, love, embodiment, connection, and grounded leadership into our relationships, purpose, and lives beyond the circle.

If the cost is beyond your means, please email Hart at alchemyofbrotherhood@gmail.com and we’ll find a way!

Wednesday July 1st 6-9pm
Citrine Holistic Health, Lake Oswego OR

Cost is $45, if you are unable to afford the full rate, please email me at alchemyofbrotherhood@gmail.com and we can find an exchange that works!

Please arrive between 5:45-6:00pm

Alchemy of Brotherhood BREATHWORK CIRCLE-- Wednesday June 24th 6-9pm
$65.00

Join us in brotherhood to explore the transformative power of the breath as medicine. Through breathwork, we open the heart and enter the deeper realms of ourselves — the unconscious, the parts we’ve disconnected from, the emotions we’ve suppressed, the grief, pain, and traumas we’ve buried beneath the surface of daily life.

This work helps awaken and move the energy within us so that we can become more fully alive, more whole, more integrated, more loving, and more clear in the paths we are forging as men, fathers, brothers, partners, and human beings.

This is sacred medicine ceremony.
The sacrament is our breath.

Together, we gather in a grounded and supportive container where all of who we are is welcome — a space for opening, release, healing, truth, connection, and transformation.

Location is Citrine Holistic Health
15962 Boones Ferry Rd Suite 202, Lake Oswego, OR 97035

6-9pm

Cost is $65, if you are unable to afford the full rate, please email me at alchemyofbrotherhood@gmail.com and we can find an exchange that works!

Please arrive between 5:45pm-6pm!

Alchemy of Brotherhood: FATHER'S COUNCIL
$0.00

Come together as men and fathers traversing the wild path of parenthood.

This path brings profound joy, love, connection, and purpose. It also brings difficulty, heartbreak, grief, shame, guilt, overwhelm, and the many challenges that arise as we attempt to raise children and steward the continuation of our lineage.

None of us are doing this perfectly.

Most of us did not receive the model of fatherhood, mentorship, or masculine leadership that we truly needed as boys becoming men. Many of us are learning in real time how to become the fathers we never had.

Father’s Council is a space to bring the honest, raw, and vulnerable experience of fatherhood into community. A space to speak openly about what you are carrying, to know that you are not alone in your struggles, and to celebrate one another in our growth and devotion as fathers and men.

For thousands of years, men gathered around fires to share stories, seek guidance, and grow together in brotherhood. This is a modern effort to keep that tradition alive.

Come as you are.

Date and location TBD

  • “Alchemy of Brotherhood has become a kind of safe haven for me as a man in a world that often fears, rejects, or shames emotional expression, vulnerability, catharsis, and the experience of truly opening. This community has become a space where I can bring the fullness of myself and trust that the group can hold me in whatever needs to arise, move through, heal, release, or transform. The container itself feels like a kind of sacred cauldron — a fire where pain, trauma, conditioning, and old identities can be laid down and allowed to burn away. Deep gratitude for the depth, honesty, and sacredness of what Alchemy of Brotherhood continues to offer.”

    -Mitchell D.

  • “The edges this work brought me to were far more expansive than I could have imagined. Alchemy of Brotherhood gave me a space to experience a different kind of strength — one rooted in honesty, vulnerability, support, and real connection. Hart facilitates these spaces with a rare level of care and presence. Rather than feeling led by one person, the group felt alive with shared momentum, trust, and genuine brotherhood. So much love for AoB.”

    -John L.

  • “Alchemy of Brotherhood is a fitting name for this work. Doing Internal Family Systems work in a group setting with other men creates a kind of healing and transformation that simply isn’t accessible in the same way one-on-one. Hart facilitates these spaces with wisdom, care, playfulness, and deep presence. AoB continues to help me meet, nourish, and integrate vulnerable parts of myself in the presence of other men — an experience that feels profoundly healing, grounding, and transformative.”

    -Brian D.
