WELCOME TO PATHFINDERS AUSTRALIA MEN’S GROUP
The sacred path of a Men’s Group
With a focus on authenticity and growth, John and Declan empower men to unlock their potential and live with clarity, heart and purpose.
The sacred path of A men's group
In a world dominated by noise and distraction, John & Declan invite you to embark on a journey that transcends the ordinary. Our work in men’s facilitation is not a vacation, but a journey to rediscover the essence of being human. We guide men to explore their depths, confront their shadows and embrace their true selves.
Profound transformation can occur when men come together in authenticity and vulnerability. We offer you an invitation to reconnect with the scaredness of your life, to honour the privilege of your human experience and to forge connections that transcend the superficial. Through this work, we collectively create a sacred space where healing, growth and connection are not just possible, but inevitable.
“Each of us carries a unique world within our hearts. This inner world forms and informs our perception of reality. The more attentive we are to our inner world, the more we will find ourselves inhabiting a world of compassion and beauty”
John O’Donohue (Eternal Echoes)

Break Free from What's Been Holding You Back
Have you ever felt that, no matter how much effort you put in, there’s still a sense of disconnection from yourself, your relationships, or your true purpose? You might find yourself avoiding conflict, constantly putting others first, or stuck in routines that leave you feeling invisible and unfulfilled. Perhaps you’ve been the “nice guy” for so long that prioritizing everyone else has left you feeling resentful, stuck, or like you’re living a life that doesn’t truly belong to you.
Inside, you might be struggling with self-doubt, moments of losing discipline, or avoiding the deeper personal work you know you need to do. Maybe you’ve read all the books, attended seminars, and joined groups, but nothing seems to have a lasting impact. On the outside, this might look like strained relationships, unclear boundaries, or hesitation to take bold steps in your personal or professional life. Even when things are going well, there’s a lingering fear that taking risks might shake the stability you’ve worked so hard to build.
