In honor of Women's History Month, we would like t

In honor of Women's History Month, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate all of the efforts of women across the world - those that are leading the way in this pivotal time and those who have come before us.

May we continue to learn from their powerful examples of compassion, resilience, and unwavering commitment to justice and equity. May way continue to stand by their side and speak up in solidarity - moving more fully towards respect, safety, and equal opportunities for all girls and women across the globe.

Join Journeymen for a deep dive into the soul of the masculine...

A Gathering of Stories is a two-day storytelling festival, conducted over livestream, bringing together renowned storytellers, musicians and poets from around the world, providing new insight and perspectives for tending the soul of the masculine.

Each day will weave a tapestry of story, punctuated by musical performances and spoken word artists. After each story, the audience will be invited to dive deeper with a shared conversation with the teller, connecting around the themes, insights, and characters that naturally spill forth from this old time magic.

"There are certain things we can say about this me

"There are certain things we can say about this method that seeks justice without violence. It does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent but to win his friendship and understanding. I think that this is one of the points, one of the basic points, one of the basic distinguishing points between violence and non-violence. The ultimate end of violence is to defeat the opponent. The ultimate end of non-violence is to win the friendship of the opponent.

It is necessary to boycott sometimes but the non-violent resister realized that boycott is never an end within itself, but merely a means to awaken a sense of shame within the oppressor; that the end is reconciliation; the end is redemption. And so the aftermath of violence is bitterness; the aftermath of non-violence is the creation of the beloved community; the aftermath of non-violence is redemption and reconciliation."

- Martin Luther King Jr.

The simple act of coming together with the spirit

The simple act of coming together with the spirit of growth, trust, and openness is a soothing balm for the psyche & soul in this age of isolation, volatility, and confusion. Woven together in a sacred container, our stories, experiences and living questions provide the medicine for healing and whole-ing – individual and collective.

We are excited to share that The Men's Council will be launching in January 2021.

Send us a message if you're interested or would like to hear more. More info can also be found through the link in our bio.

Do you hear the call?

Far more than a typical online course, the Band of

Far more than a typical online course, the Band of Brothers is a dynamic, immersive experience that sets the stage for a solid start to young adulthood. Band of Brothers is built on the premise that all boys thrive when love, belonging, and connection are present in their lives. With playful adventure, heart-to-heart conversations, and engaging challenges, Band of Brothers helps boys navigate the turbulent times in their lives with a sense of balance, purpose, and confidence.

Enrollment is now open for our next middle and high school Band of Brothers online groups! Know of a boy in your life who could benefit from a supportive community of brothers during these trying times? Let us know and we'd be happy to share more about this offering!

Last night Journeymen hosted our very first 'Big Fire' welcoming our youth, mentors, elders, and families to gather 'round the digital fire to find warmth, inspiration, and a sense of community as we dove deep into the power of myth.

“Hearing a story awakens the mythic story living in each of us. It places us in a ‘mythic condition’ that reconnects us to the core imagination and living story at the center of our soul. Being touched by myth carries us to the center where the world is always ending and always beginning again.”

— Michael Meade

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday and we invite you to join us in our effort to uplift and empower boys to be compassion and resilient leaders within their lives. 'What we water, grows', so let's invest in our youth today as we move towards a brighter tomorrow.

Youth need social connection, emotional support, a

Youth need social connection, emotional support, and positive role models to thrive. This has become increasingly clear over the past few months with COVID on the rise, students attending school through the computer screen, cancelled sports seasons, and no social gatherings allowed.

Recognizing the challenges our youth are navigating, Journeymen has worked tirelessly to meet their needs by providing mentorship for the boys in our community at no-cost to families. This commitment has allowed us to show up consistently for those who need us most, which would not be possible without the support of our growing community.

For #GivingTuesday we invite you to join our Inner Circle as a recurring monthly donor so that we can continue our vital work in the region. Whether it's $5 a month or $50, every little bit helps us stay resilient and stand strong in the eye of the storm.

Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and generosity. We would not be here without You.

With new, heightened COVID restrictions now upon u

With new, heightened COVID restrictions now upon us, we seem to be entering a darker phase of this journey. We can see this reflected in the current Autumn season, in the emotional worlds of our boys, and in the culture at large. May we remember that it is in the darkness that fertility is most potent, and trust that the highlights that we are now celebrating from 2019 will once again come into focus as we stay the course.
.
With this announcement, we also invite you to Join the Inner Circle of Journeymen supporters by making a recurring contribution as part of our 2020 #GivingTuesday campaign launch. In the coming weeks we will share more about how this vital form of support allows us to serve 100+ of our communities boys and young men at no-cost to families.

2020 has been an incredibly challenging year for a

2020 has been an incredibly challenging year for all of us. In particular, we are increasingly concerned for the wellbeing of the young people in our community and around the world. Navigating these challenging times socially isolated from their friends, attending school virtually for months on end, and witnessing the many societal injustices across the globe. While youth are in fact resilient, they still need our love and support during these tough times.
.
It is with a heavy heart that we reflect on a chapter in our small island where youth suicide spiked at an alarming rate. Many of our beautiful, bright young members of our community lost hope and felt there was no other way through the pain. Palmer was one of those amazing souls.
.
'Thunderstorm in My Brain' is a short documentary film of the kind, smart and quirky Palmer Burke who died by suicide at the tender age of 14. It is about the redemption and healing of a courageous mother and a sister who are telling their story to prevent other families from having to endure the trauma they did.
.
UW recently shared an important resource called Forefront - designed to provide education and tools for those touched by suicide and mental illness. Many feature real-life individuals’ stories. One segment includes the importance of taking these 5 steps: LEARN Saves Lives
.
L = Look for Warning Signs
E = Empathize & Listen
A = Ask Directly About Suicide
R = Remove the Dangers
N = Next Steps - Connect with Professional Help
.
Please check in on your people. Reach out. Ask for help. We are in this together.

Jackson Katz has been a leading voice in the conve

Jackson Katz has been a leading voice in the conversation around ending male violence for years. As an activist, author and violence prevention specialist Katz has identified many of the ways in which our culture is enabling these patterns of abuse and violence within our male population.
.
From 'Boys will be boys' to focusing on 'violence against women' instead of highlighting and addressing male violence, Katz demonstrates how problematic it is to use passive language when referring to harm caused.
.
"When we examine a phrase like 'violence against women' nobody is doing it to them. It just happens to them. Men aren't even a part of it," Katz explains, and we could not agree more.
.
It is time that we shift the narrative, step into integrity, and hold each other accountable.
.
"We need to redefine strength in men, not as power over other people, but as forces for justice."
