David Vaughan-Griffiths
(Big Dave)
Founder
For the past 11 years, I’ve been walking a path of transformation and healing. My journey began with the commitment to sobriety, 11 years clean and sober, an act that not only saved my life but opened the door to a deeper calling. Through this time, I’ve dedicated myself to doing the inner work: facing my shadows, healing old wounds, and reclaiming my true self.
This path has taught me that healing is not a solitary endeavor, it happens in community, when we show up authentically for ourselves and each other. My mission is clear: to create safe spaces for men and women to heal together, a place where we can do the work so our children don’t have to.
Everything I offer is rooted in this vision: circles of honesty, compassion, and transformation where people can reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with the greater spirit of life. My journey is far from over, but today I walk it with gratitude, integrity, and a heart committed to service.
