Beyond "Man Up": Learning and Being in Community

Beyond "Man Up": Learning and Being in Community is a series of workshops + communities of practice sessions designed by men and for men to gain a greater understanding of their motivations, goals, needs and wants so that they can show up and care for the people around them more intentionally.

In this 4-part series, each part explores different layers of one's self - from purpose, motivation, emotions to ego. Each workshop is designed with an accompanying community of practice session that we encourage all workshop participants to attend. In this way, you will learn the skill, practice the skill, then exchange insights with others in your group on what you've found to be helpful and unhelpful.

Choose which parts of the series you'd like to attend depending on what resonates most for you.
