We are OFF THE GRYD THERAPY.

There’s this poem I wrote “The space between” Lately I’ve been feeling that strange pull. The space between who I was, and who I’m trying to become. It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable, and honestly, I hate it. Maybe hate isn’t the right word. If only I could name it. This feeling that i have. The unknown. Like climbing a mountain at dusk. It’s not dark enough to stop, but not light enough to see clearly. Just, in between. The craziest part, life isn’t going to just pause, for something inside me to just catch up. I still have to show up. Be present. Provide. Lead. Suit up like I’m all good. When I know that I’m not. But maybe this is the work. The work in the middle. That space between. And this tension in my chest, and restlessness in my mind. Is it pulling me for something ahead. Preparing me for something, that I cannot clearly see? So maybe that’s okay. Maybe this in between is necessary. Right here, right now. Maybe it’s the shaping, and I’m learning to trust, the space between. ——— Keep showing up, make it a great week.

Movember, raise awareness. Check in on your brothers.

We are running trips in other states! More trips. More states. More men in the community. So we built 5 trailers by hand. Because building a business sometimes means welding at midnight and chasing a vision no one else can see.. yet 🤠 I look forward to meeting you, off the grid 🤘🏼 Thank you @liberty_off_roadusa for the take off coils and shocks! Check em out they are a rad small business!

Solitude doesn’t necessarily mean being alone, and loneliness doesn’t necessarily mean being surrounded by people. You can be in a room full of people and still feel deeply alone if the connection isn’t real. And yet you can be by yourself and feel fully at peace. We crave both solitude and real connection. We need authentic relationships, real brotherhood. Perhaps this is why we feel the half presence with someone and its more isolating than being in true solitude. This is a paradox. Perhaps that’s why loneliness is felt most sharply not in solitude, but in the company of those who are only half there. —— I will demand depth in my relationships. I will not settle for half hearted presence. From others, and from myself.

The year isn’t over yet. Write down all the things you said that you’d do this year, that you still haven’t done: now with that list organize them from easiest/least time consuming. Do those things first. I want you to focus on the things you can control and can realistically be done in 45 days. Get to it 🤝

OFF THE GRYD COMMUNITY We have a YouTube now! This means we’re going to be making vlogs for our trip recaps and give everyone a look into what it’s like to be apart of this community. I look forward to meeting you this upcoming year 🤘🏼

You don’t talk about it enough. You carry the weight quietly. It’s time you stop doing it alone. We’d love to meet you brother.

Did I do “empathy” right? 😂 But really, we care. ——— On a real note… reach out to your people. Let someone in. And if you need a therapist, great. Getting help isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. We all need help. & if you’re looking for community, we’re here for ya 🤝

It’s obvious. You feel better outside. Go get out there 🤝

What would you rather catch.. 200lb bluefin or a 20” trout? ——— We had a great day on the river. Shane & I have been friends since childhood. We grew up in Southern California deep sea fishing, spear fishing, and all the typical ocean activities that come with growing up in San Clemente. Fly fishing is something else.. you can see a fish that is actually really small compared to what we grew up catching in the ocean, but imo the fight and the setting is hands down more enjoyable while on the fly.

Here’s a poem I wrote. Right Here, Right Now I wish I was, where I was, when I was, wishing I was here. Back when right here felt far away, when I thought true peace lived somewhere else, maybe in the future. I didn’t know then that I’d one day stand right here, in the middle, of the life I prayed for. Still tired. Still learning. Still carrying weight. But I’m here. And maybe that’s the whole point, I spent so much time reaching that I forgot to arrive. So tonight, I’ll do my best to stay where my feet are, right here, right now. I’ll let that be enough. ——— Merry Christmas ❤️ Everyone in the family is sleeping, and I wanted to hop on here real quick to share this with you, I hope it provides you with some thought of intention and presence, right here right now. That’s where we are meant to be. Lord, I pray for joy for you and your family, the joy announced at Jesus birth, good tidings of great joy, and the peace of Christ in your home. Amen.

2024 dates are officially live on the website! If you or someone you know is interested in going on a trip this year we will announce the next five when these fill up. Extremely grateful to have you all here, and if you’re new, welcome in, check out the website, the discord, and the merch to show support and be apart of the community in any way🤘🏼

Send this to a brother You don’t have to carry it alone. Strength isn’t silence. Call on your brothers.

Suffering in silence. This is what this community is for. Mental health is extremely important. Our mind needs to be right. Off the grid therapy is a special place for men to connect with other men and have a positive release of anxiety, angst, and negative stress. So that we as men can pour back into our families and community with a full heart and an intention to serve others at our greatest potential. Hit me up if you want to join the community 🤘🏼

Off The Grid season is over for this year. Feeling extremely grateful and blessed for the opportunity to meet so many men. So here’s some photos from this summer! I pray God blesses each and every one of the families in this community, and you!

Hey I’m Brock! I’m a husband, father, brother, son, and friend in Southern California 🤘🏼 I run a men’s community called Off The Grid Therapy where we take men off the grid to disconnect so they can reconnect with each other. I’m a sports psychologist by trade and found that men really need to get outside in nature. I’ll be sharing some of our adventures and what we learn along the way. Stoked to be here finally @paul keating
