About For All

Our team’s name and banner come from the closing ritual at the end of our meetings. We stand, put our arms around each other in a circle, take three deep breaths, and say together the motto of the Musketeers “All For One, and One For All.” For us, this motto also has a double meaning — we’re for each other, but we’re also for the larger community and the world. Team For All was formed in 2024 when four men joined EBCoM. Rather than visiting many other teams and trying to find the right fit, we jumped in with both feet and formed our own team. Though our membership has changed a little, the jumping in with both feet energy remains.

Current Structure (as of Feb. 2026): We meet on Tuesdays in Berkeley, 7:30 p.m.- 9:30 p.m., with snacks and beverages. We rotate leadership at every meeting, and we begin with a check-in. From there, the leader guides us through business. Then we get to “Meat and Potatoes,” which is a deeper topic, process, practice, or focus on a team member’s needs.

Once a month, we have a social gathering.

Mentor and lifetime honorary member: Alan Wick

The Team

	Eric FizMedrud I’m a father to three kids and a polyamorous husband to two life partners. I’m also bi and kinky. Professionally, I’m an award-winning author, therapist, a sex and relationship coach, and I’m expanding into white men’s racial identity development work. I’m in EBCoM because all my closest friends in the Bay Area moved away. I met several men at an East Bay Meditation Center retreat called “Healing the Father Wound,” and I appreciated that they were emotionally vulnerable to each other. I was going through a vulnerable time in my life and needed more people who could see what I was going through and give me hugs. I have gotten what I needed, and I’m committed to deepening the work in myself, on my team, and in this circle.
