JOURNEY|MEN

Interdependence, community, adventure, service and ceremony for men in a world that needs regeneration.

 

 

WHO ARE WE?

We are a community of men seeking exploration of ourselves and the world around us. We Learn from each other’s process and support each other in the journey. We are brothers, sons, partners, fathers, husbands and friends who need spaces to let our souls express and grow more fully.
Oriented towards belonging rather than status
Oriented towards symbiosis rather than hierarchy
 

WHO WE ARE NOT...

Gurus

Someone who is trying to fix you

Someone to tell you what being a man means

Faith based.  Whatever your spiritual Journey is, we love that for you. 

WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER

Feeling a need for deeper connection to yourself and other men

Became burnt out on building ladders instead of relationships

Starting to think..maybe there is another way..

Needing other folks to help orient in the world around relationships, parenting, professional lives, and all the things life calls us to navigate

Feeling a need for a community of wider range with both elders, youth..and everything in between. 

Are navigating or contemplating a transition

Wanting to engage in service, support, mentorship and creating positive change

Connecting to greater purpose

01. MIND

We spend most of our time with our attention pulled in many directions by the various distractions of the modern world. We can be easily confused and absorbed by a never ending stream of information.

We believe that by choosing to sit in deeper presence with the larger questions that we may be struggling with, and cultivating awareness practices we can bring our minds to more clarity and wisdom.

 

02. BODY

We intend to both push ourselves and care for ourselves equally. We can come into a deeper relationship with our physical being by listening to the  information and experiences stored there that we may be avoiding.

Using different practices of embodiment, recreation, movement, and awareness - we can access our bodies as guides to its innate wisdom.

03. SOUL

As men we support and prioritize many people in our lives, but often we don’t have a sense of being held ourselves. In many cases, our pathways to community and connection have fallen away. And so we struggle through without having spaces that we can show up to ask for support. We are programmed as men to not show vulnerability or pain to others, especially to other men.

By inviting shared ritual back into our lives we can find the support that we as men often struggle to find. Our aim is to reconnect ourselves with our community, earth, and spirit while navigating individual systems of belief.

 

Serving the whole person:  THRIVING REQUIRES A HOLISTIC APPROACH 

THE BACKSTORY

We are men who have navigated deep suffering ourselves, and witnessed it happening to too many other brothers. We saw that men could only whisper their challenges rather than speaking directly to them. With this the awareness that something was off, that  this wasn’t how it was supposed to be.

For many of us who worked with communities throughout the globe, we understood that finding circles of shared meaning and inquiry helped life become rich, textured, and full of possibility.

We understood that the culture left                                 most of us without a sense of deep sense of brotherhood.

One of life’s greatest gifts is belonging to a meaningful                                   community.   As Journeymen, we value connecting with other men to walk alongside;                                                         to exchange ideas and lessons learned.

The power of learning together and, supporting  each other.                                                  through the journey is paramount to becoming happier,

more resilient, and more connected to the world around us.

It was from this place of shared experience, from the exchange of different ways of being in the world, that the idea of Journeymen was formed.
