gay men's life lab presents

Rediscover Yourself at Midlife


A 6-month in-depth coaching group for gay men ready to thrive after 40

Beginning in mid-November, we'll meet weekly* to commit to our deepest life goals, develop the habits we need to achieve them, and learn how to live fully and powerfully as gay men during the most generative years of our lives.

Why a small group?

I've found small groups are the ideal setting to give men room to experiment with new ideas, practice vulnerability, and share life-changing insights with each other. It's also the perfect size to benefit from the wisdom of diverse perspectives while still preserving the intimacy of male bonding and friendship.


By meeting with the same 4-7 men each week and working together on guided practices, you'll learn to:

  • Design an energizing life vision and create a sustainable plan for realizing it
  • Take a stand for yourself like never before and develop self-compassion, confidence and presence 
  • Identify and cultivate your "gay superpowers" to fuel your life vision plan
  • Become resilient to fear, shame, perfectionism, and doubt so they no longer limit you from having the life you want
  • Cultivate a supportive tribe so you feel the deep sense of belonging, safety, and respect that will help you create lasting change

Limited to 8 participants; pre-screening survey & consultation required

About Buck

As a gay man, counselor and coach, I’ve been learning through personal and professional experience what makes us special for more than 25 years.

In my therapy and coaching practice, I’ve partnered with gay men to heal the wounds only we know, and I've witnessed these same men experience themselves and their lives in remarkably transformed ways. In the community, I’ve mentored gay, bisexual and queer students through the sensitive identity development phases, raised money for homeless LGBTQ youth, co-launched the Gay for Good-Chicago chapter, and participated in the Gay Men of Wisdom and Gay Men’s Medicine Circle communities. I also taught Human Development at USC, and I'm fascinated about how we grow and evolve throughout our lives.  My passion and purpose are helping people transcend outdated stories and limiting beliefs to discover who they are and fully commit to creating the life they want.
