supporting your journey in fatherhood
oh | PAPAS is an honest, supportive community, nurturing fathers using mindfulness and yoga as tools to support fathers at any stage of fatherhood.
About our Fathers Group
Our Papas Group connects to experiences of becoming and being a father. Offered as a therapist-facilitate peer support group, we offer a compassionate sharing space for men with children of all ages, held in our light-filled studio.
‘Finding Fatherhood’
‘Finding Fatherhood’ is our monthly Papas Group.
This group opens the space for men, a therapist-facilitated peer support group for men navigating fatherhood. Explore the lived experiences of fatherhood and what this means to your children, to your family and to you.
Session includes conscious body awareness, movement, creativity and compassion practices to support sharing and connection.

We believe in the power of community. ‘Facilitated peer-support’ means fathers supporting one another, wherever they are in their journey, with skilful practitioners at hand who are there to provide safety and containment in what can feel like complex times. We all need community around us along this journey.
Previous groups have discussed loss, work life balance, relationships, birth stories, transitions, sleep, ageing, grandparents, illness, partners, nutrition, intimacy… the list goes on.
Sessions are facilitated by Sam McCarthy who brings her experiences as a parent and as therapeutic practitioner to the group.
Sam invites attendees to explore breath work and gentle movement. These practices are helpful for the body and mind. The group then opens as a space for talking and sharing in a judgement-free context.
‘Yoga for Men’
We also offer a yoga class particularly for men with responsibilities – an important opportunity to practice yoga, help manage stress and meet life’s challenges through meditation and breath work.
