Breakthrough Men’s Workshop

Graduates speak to you

Welcome to Breakthrough! To men reading this now, Breakthrough is for you.

Here is a proven educational and experiential workshop that has produced results for 37 years. The tools and practices at Breakthrough have been tested in action with decades of incredible results. Are you ready for real change?

A Breakthrough we begin to unlearn the conditioning that says we have to do it alone if we want it done right, or at all…. We replace that belief over time with a practice where we learn to trust ourselves and each other. We can then bring more effectiveness, love, energy, and clarity to our lives.

A nonprofit mission of financial support

Breakthrough is here to help.  As a501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to make this workshop accessible to any willing man at a price he can afford.

Because of generous contributions from our graduates and outside supporters, Breakthrough offers scholarship funds to help you participate at a price that works for you. If needed, you can apply for financial aid to make this work accessible to you right now. No one is ever turned away for financial reasons.Who is this workshop for?

Breakthrough is for all men. Some men come to find relief from repetitive patterns of thinking and behaving that no longer serve them. Others come to develop deeper relationships and connection. Still others come with a knowing there is “something more” to life than what they are currently experiencing. For all men Breakthrough offers a community and brotherhood where you are valued and supported.

Often the hardest step in an intentional growth is admitting we need help to get there.

The Breakthrough Workshop team members are all graduates of the program. They support you from a place of having been there themselves. They know how it feels. At Breakthrough you are never alone.

Some of the reasons men come to Breakthrough:

  • I want to understand myself better.

  • I want to be a better parent.

  • I want more happiness.

  • I want to enhance my therapy / 12 step/ development.

  • I want to grow emotionally and spiritually.

  • I want to make my life more fulfilling.

You will learn skills to help you navigate life more authentically and understand that you can live a more connected and richer life. Our free Introductory sessions are set up to give you more information about Breakthrough, answer any questions you may have, and provide an opportunity to join the thousands who have completed the Breakthrough Workshop.

How it works:

We present the workshop in two formats, Online and In-Person. Online workshops are presented on Zoom and In-Person workshops are presented at local venues in the Monterey Bay area of California. The Breakthrough workshop is divided into two separate courses; Breakthrough 1 and Breakthrough 2. Each are presented four times a year. You may enroll in the classes separately or together. Breakthrough 1 is a prerequisite for Breakthrough 2.

Breakthrough 1 is a process of looking inward identify behavior patterns, and begin to use tools to work with them productively. You will work with other men to build an effective proven practice that can greatly improve quality of life. Breakthrough 2 is where we examine how to take the practices we build in Breakthrough 1 outward to our families, friends, co-workers, and communities.

”Every single one of these men was touched profoundly and grew their lives, hearts, and possibilities from this experience.”

Perhaps above the content, camaraderie, kindness, and insights, I most appreciate the opportunity to see myself in such new ways. I might be seeing what was here all along! My 4-year-old self thanks you for opening the door to safety, self-love and appreciation. I am seeing the freedom to reinstate my being full of life, value, and love that I entered the world with.
