Dads Group
A place for expecting, new, and new-ish Dads
What: EBBC Dad’s Group welcomes fathers with children 0-3 yrs. In this social/support group, dads come together to build community and comradery around the shared experience of fatherhood. The 5-week series will foster community and support around the joys and challenges of being a new/new-ish Dad.
For Who: Fathers with children 0-3 yrs.
By Who: Jesse Cutler has lived in the Bay Area for 20 years. He has two children; 13 and 9 years old. He has been on a path of personal growth for 3 decades. Jesse loves being a dad and also understands how intense and trying parenthood can feel. When Jesse isn’t parenting or running his PR company, you can find him hiking and running on East Bay trails.
Shane Bauer is the co-parenting Dad half to an artistic and spirited 6-year old. A Bay native, he’s trod many wild paths before arriving as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Parenting is a great creative process for him, with meaning in each success and disappointment. He finds foundation and recharge in devotion to the Pacific Ocean.
When: rotating 5-week cohorts
