Vision
We envision a society where men act as leaders, protectors, and stewards of the community, the feminine, and the earth. Twenty years from now, when the young men we serve are husbands and fathers to a new generation, they will be healthy, cared for in community, and deeply connected to themselves, their people, and their purpose. They will be confident in their ability to handle the challenges of life, and comfortable asking for help when they need it. Their sons and daughters will grow up with a strong example of what masculinity in all it’s beauty and strength looks and feels like. In this future, all people will feel safe to express themselves.
In this future, the trend is toward all men having close, nurturing relationships with other men who can support and encourage them. Men openly expressing themselves and relying on one another is becoming more and more common, and as a result, men are becoming more resilient and better able to support their partners, their communities, and all of their connections. Young men grow up connected with themselves, and are supported in their transition into adulthood by experienced guides who provide them with confidence and safety in navigating this sometimes scary transition.
