Oikodomeo Men of Freedom Conference

Building men who walk in freedom, purpose, and authentic masculinity

Oikodomeo Men of Freedom Conference poster

Oikodomeo — from the Greek word meaning "to build up" — is an intensive three-day experience designed specifically for men ready to break free from shame, addiction, and the lies that have kept them small. This is not a typical men's retreat. Through clinically informed group process, spiritual formation, and honest brotherhood, men leave with a new foundation — one built on truth, identity, and genuine freedom. What to Expect: This conference combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches with deep spiritual work. Expect vulnerability, challenge, and transformation. Men come in carrying weight they've never spoken aloud — and leave lighter.

What to expect

  • Evidence-based group therapeutic process

  • Brotherhood and authentic community

Thank you for your interest in our upcoming Men of Freedom conferences. See website, www.connectedcounselingcenter.org for more information.

This conference is geared to give men a jumpstart on their recovery plan and in 3 days men will receive the equivalent of 30 weeks of regular counseling. My expertise is in porn addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction and trauma. During this conference we build a customized sexual recovery plan (SRP) for each attendee that will provide a clear road map of "how to" get free and stay free. We'll incorporate Dr. Patrick Carnes Cycle of Addiction framework, 3 circles of sobriety and recovery, trauma work, small group breakouts, and whole person care (soul, spirit, body).

This intensive is one of the BEST places to start a person's journey to sobriety and recovery and has a proven success rate that has been tested for many years. Men leave this intensive with many tools in their sobriety/recovery toolbox that will help them get free from their compulsive sexual behavior(s) and stay free.
