"Witnessing others in their grief allowed me to feel less alone in mine. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who is grieving."
“This has given me hope. It’s brought light into the darkest places. And it has reminded me that I am not alone.”
"I've taken other grief programs, but this one felt different. Real. Human. Messy in all the right ways."
Most men are never taught what to do with pain
We bury it, drink it, out-work it, or turn it into anger.
But grief isn’t a weakness to fix. It’s an initiation waiting to be answered. As long as we run from it, it will rule us.
This free 3-day experience will help you understand, feel, and begin to transform the weight you’ve been carrying, without losing your edge or your dignity.
"The way Albert works with grief is raw and real, never sugarcoated, but always safe. It’s honest and deep, yet sprinkled with humor and humanity in a way that reminds me grief and joy can coexist."
I'm Albert, the Creator of Of Men and Grief and Founder of Good F*cking Grief™
I was always a seeker. Of truth. Of aliveness. Of purpose.
I spent most of my 20's traveling the world studying meditation and yoga. When I was 27, I became a Buddhist monk and lived at a remote monastery, where we meditated for 5-10 hours per day. It was a powerful time of transformation.
But nothing has been more transformational than grief.
The year after I joined the monastery, my father died suddenly.
He was my rock. My anchor. My teacher. My foundation. Gone.
It rocked me. But I kept going.
A year later, my younger brother suffered a brain injury that left him in a permanent vegetative state.
Going through this without my father's steadying hand didn't just rock me...
It broke me.
And for a long time I wasn't sure I would ever be okay again.
Our culture has no roadmap for grief and loss. No one wants to talk about it. It scares us, which leaves many of us feeling isolated in one of the most universal experiencing of suffering that exists.
It took a long time to map the terrain of grief, and a lot of support.
And as I began to recognize the enormous gifts in grief, I also saw that there are very few spaces in our world where we can talk about it, turn towards it, and receive it's medicine (especially for men).
That's why I founded Good F*cking Grief – an organization that leads people through loss. Thanks for being here.

What Happens in
Of Men & Grief
Day 1: Video Teaching + Guided Practice Delivered to Your Inbox
The Science & Silence of Grief
Grief isn’t just sadness. It’s the brain learning to live in a world that no longer matches our inner map. Men often try to fix or rationalize grief, but the task isn’t to fix the pain — it’s to retrain the brain to integrate love and loss. We will cover:
-
The difference between grieving (an active process) and being griefed (frozen in resistance).
-
Why emotional avoidance compounds suffering.
-
The neuroscience of grief (loss of attachment prediction, limbic dysregulation, need for safety and ritual).
-
The masculine myth of “moving on” versus the truth of “moving with.”
Day 2: Video Teaching + Guided Practice Delivered to Your Inbox
Turning Toward the Soul of Sorrow
Grief is not a pathology. It’s an initiation into adulthood, humility, and connection.
Men have been robbed of rituals that metabolize loss. We carry unexpressed grief as irritability, numbness, shame, or restlessness.
-
The Five Gates of Grief (from Francis Weller):
-
Everything we love we will lose.
-
The places within us that have not known love.
-
The sorrows of the world.
-
What we expected but did not receive.
-
Ancestral grief and collective inheritance.
-
-
How modern masculinity cuts men off from these gates.
-
The cost of unexpressed grief: addiction, rage, disconnection, emotional flatlining.
-
The paradox: your grief is also your capacity for love.
Day 3: Live Integration Call November 13th at 2pm PST
Healing Happens in Connection
We need to be witnessed in our pain so it can evolve into wisdom.
The task of the initiated man is not to avoid suffering, but to carry it with grace and presence. This will include:
-
Short teaching: Grief as a Masculine Initiation
-
Small-group sharing circles for honest conversation
-
Closing circle to honor the dead, the broken, and the reborn
All in a space where you can show up exactly as you are: broken, angry, numb, confused—whatever's real.
You are worthy of aliveness. This is your invitation to remembering.

This workshop is for men who sense that grief runs deeper than loss alone. It’s for you if...
-
You’ve ever felt a quiet sorrow you can’t quite name — a homesickness for something unseen.
-
You’ve lost someone, something, or some version of yourself and never fully let it go.
-
You’re carrying grief for the world — for the violence, the disconnection, the destruction.
-
You feel weighed down by the unspoken pain that runs through your family line.
-
You’re tired of being “strong” and ready to feel what’s true instead.
-
You suspect your grief might be the doorway back to belonging, aliveness, and love.
I get it - you want to feel better. And I promise - you will. But not in the way that you think.
When things falls apart -- whether it be a death, a divorce, or any other significant life change -- most of us try desperately to put things back together.
We try to carry on. We try to keep on living as if nothing has changed.
But something has changed. And until we honor it and face that reality, we will stay stuck.
You will not feel better when you get over it. You will feel better when you move through it.
And this workshop is a place to start moving through it.
"Witnessing others in their grief allowed me to feel less alone in mine. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who is grieving."
This is a space where:
We won't:
-
Tell you to "look for silver linings"
-
Rush your healing
-
Suggest your pain has an expiration date
-
Try to fix you
We will:
-
Meet you exactly where you are
-
Create space for whatever emerges
-
Show you that you're not alone in this
-
Offer practical tools that actually help
