Our Reality
You will notice immediately that and MenandMeToo.com we are passionately committed to making better, more vital men, but we are not web designers. We make no apology for that, and will gladly accept the help of anyone who wants to volunteer with web design and graphic design skills! We need it so we can remove this qualifier from our front page! Contact us.
Our Vision
Create a world in which no man harasses, abuses, or is violent with a woman, and every man lives his truth and vitality.
Our Work
Our work is to support men in exploring the confusions, frustrations, issues, concerns, and opportunities presented by women through the #MeToo moment. Specifically, we are:
- Creating insights and perspectives that assist us in understanding ourselves as men.
- Creating experiences to go deeper–emotionally, imaginatively, soulfully–to explore the sources on non-toxic, generative masculinity.
- Enabling safe spaces for deep exploration.
Look for our work in the following formats:
- Monthly meetings for exploration–come once or as often as you like. These meetings are open to all men interested in learning and exploring more.
- Short programs–four to eight week programs for deep exploration on a theme or topic. These groups establish and maintain a strong container for the deeper exploration to occur.
- Retreats–retreats form the strongest container of all and a safe space for men to explore the deep inner self from an imaginative, emotional, intellectual, and physicial perspective.
