You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. Many men carry the impact of sexual trauma in silence — sometimes for decades. It often shows up as anger, addiction or numbing, relationship struggles, isolation, difficulty trusting, and shame that was never theirs to carry. Most men were never given a space to speak about what happened without discomfort, judgment, or pressure to “just move on.” Men Healing From Sexual Trauma is a steady, respectful space where men can come out of isolation and begin processing — at their own pace and in their own way. This is a place where you can speak honestly without being defined by what happened, process quietly or out loud, and rebuild a sense of steadiness and self-trust. Guided Reiki and grounding practices help support the nervous system and release stored tension safely. Led by Jeff Perry, who has walked his own path of healing and recovery, this group is grounded, confidential, and deeply respectful of each man’s experience. This is not therapy. This is not a place for graphic retelling. This is not about reliving trauma. It is a place to bring what has been carried alone into a space of quiet understanding and strength. You choose what you share. You choose your pace. Listening is always enough. Healing meets you exactly where you are.   Privacy & Safety Privacy and personal agency are central to this circle. Participants may: attend under their own name or a pseudonym keep cameras off listen without speaking step away at any time All participants agree to maintain confidentiality, practice respectful listening, avoid graphic descriptions, and never pressure others to share. This circle is designed to feel steady, contained, and emotionally safe.   75-Minute Circle Format Structured but relaxed. Real conversation without pressure. 1. Arrival & Grounding (5–7 minutes) The circle begins with a welcome and gentle orientation, including a confidentiality reminder. Participants are invited to share if they wish or simply listen. A brief grounding exercise helps settle the nervous system. The tone is calm, direct, and respectful. 2. Optional Check-In (15–20 minutes) This is a prompt-based sharing period, entirely optional. Examples of prompts include: “What has been sitting heavy lately?” “Where are you feeling tension or pressure?” and “What helps you feel steady right now?” Participants may speak, pass, use chat, or listen quietly. No one is required to disclose personal history. 3. Theme Conversation (15 minutes) Jeff leads a short, grounded discussion focused on understanding the impact of trauma without reliving events. The conversation helps men separate their identity from what happened, build steadiness and self-respect, and reclaim personal strength. This portion is practical, respectful, and not clinical or heavy. 4. Reiki & Nervous System Support (20 minutes) A gentle guided experience supports releasing stored tension, calming the body, restoring a sense of internal safety, and grounding. The session includes quiet restoration, and participants may simply rest and receive. No belief in Reiki is required. 5. Reflection & Optional Closing Share (15–18 minutes) Participants may share reflections, speak about what helped, or remain silent and listen. Many find this portion feels easier once the body has settled.   This event is normally $20 USD, but is being offered free on March 17th as a special introductory offer.
