Matt Kaufman
With over five years of facilitation experience, Matt has had the honor of witnessing the transformative power of mens work in the lives of participants.
He’s studied men’s work with Jeffrey James Howard (jeffreyjames.coach) and mindfulness with Michael Rempel (michaelrempel.com) both in Boulder, CO.
Outside of men's groups, Matt is a father of two, leads Software Engineering teams and teaches mindfulness meditation.
He believes in helping others realize and experience the preciousness of life.
“Matt interjects a genuine love for men's work and his own personal growth. He has solid leadership skills and strength through vulnerability.” - Pinak
“I appreciate Matt's honesty and inner security. It was easy for me to trust his facilitation, and it was consistently clear to me that he prioritizes the safety and well-being of the group.” - Jason
“Matt has a steady hand. He has a gift to help you feel grounded.” - Steve

Eli Harrigan
Eli Harrigan is men’s group leader and a certified breathwork practitioner who has studied with David Elliott in New Mexico and Jesse Torgerson in New York.
As a photographer & video editor—and with an education in Western philosophy—it wasn’t until Eli discovered breathwork that he realized he had been living his life entirely inside his head, and that there was another, much more rewarding way of being.
The work has been revolutionary in his personal and professional life, and he is passionate about sharing it with others.
“Eli has an open heart and is a loved-based leader. He demonstrates masculine care with each glance.” - Pinak
“I appreciated Eli's willingness to be a little wild and less inhibited, and his encouragement for other men to connect with their wild self. He consistently brought attention to the body, which helped this wildness also feel grounded.” - Jason
“The breathwork sessions that Eli held during the Present Man Project were powerful and like nothing I have ever experienced. I can say I was pushed out of my comfort zone while still feeling safe. Eli has a unique energy that made our conversations dynamic and lively.” - Jake
