Right now, young men are stepping outside into a world that's got a lot of mixed emotions on the modern reality of masculinity.
We're faced with a choice - To follow the tired tale of the stereotypical man's man or to humbly write in a new direction.
HIS-STORY is far too often one of us vs them. Same vs. different. Me vs. you. A role-based place for him & her without much space for all the others in between.
The tired ideas of dominance over discipline, control over care, loyalty over love gasp a dying breath.
Everything is for sale & nothing is for sacred. If you fear it - fire it, mock it, sue it, steal it, ban it.
Same story but with new generations of men asking themselves the age-old question-
Do I wade into the unknown of a changing world or do I retreat to the comforts of a system familiar & old. |

On this shore, we wade in, we stand as Gentle Men.
Our strength is not found in the subjugation of what we don't understand but in the service to our fellow man.
We listen slowly, think curiously, & act thoughtfully. This grounded man is unbothered & unafraid of strong women, queer couples, foreign friends, trans youth, global love, changing times & softer hearts.
Gentle Men cry, lose, surrender & need help. They laugh, achieve, accomplish & support. They are infinite versions of who they alone choose to be. They are you, they are me.
But they are not AFRAID. To all you gentle men out there, fear not to loudly offer a softer version of what it means to be a man amidst the current mood of meandering masculinity.
Stand tall, move softly, persuade gently.
Introducing Gentle Men -a monthly meet up that spans age, race, class, politics & faith. Together, we'll host a guest speaker meant to explore, express & evangelize the softer sides of masculinity. |

You're invited to join us for an inter-generational meet up meant to casually explore the changing and diverse nature of masculinity in the modern era.
Each month, we'll welcome up a guest to explore a new topic and on Sun 3/16 at 1 pm we're excited to welcome up professional snowboarder, entrepreneur, and Zen practitioner Mikey Leblanc who, alongside our Steward Jordan, will guide a dialogue that will be equal parts learning, practice & discussion centered on the grounding journey to be found through mindfulness & meditation. If you, your sons, husbands, friends, dads or anyone who identifies with walking the masculine path are craving a hint of community in the real world, this may be a place to start. |
