What we’re about
Our vision is to cultivate a brotherhood where men connect through shared discussion and activities (events, hiking, bonfires, book sharing, public speaking, etc.), fostering an environment where vulnerability and communication are strengths. In this space, we aspire to break down societal expectations, allowing men to let their guard down, be transparent, and authentically navigate life's challenges together. Our aim is to create a balanced and supportive community where genuine connections thrive.
Every individual has their own path and pace for improvement, and this progress never happens in a vacuum. We’ll be aiming to co-create the space that allows each person to stop any self-censorship and put their perspectives on table. It’s important that we each slough off any defensiveness and establish our own personal voice and motivation, both in our professional and personal lives. If you’ve got a problem you’re working on, an issue that holds you back, or a lack of support or information, our goal is to first give you the RESPECT you deserve, then maybe we can collectively hack, reframe, or discuss a path forward… and if we can’t help, we’ll work together to find those who can. If you’re in a good place and just looking for a like-minded group of men who know that the world will always throw curveballs and internal growth never stops, we’re happy to share your company.
As we’re both new to Cville, it’s a great opportunity for us to make new friends and build our community. Ernie is a veteran currently living out his Calling as a Pastor of a small Christian Church in Cville while also working a full time Job as a Program Manager with the DoD, husband of 20 years, father of 4 teenagers, and comes from the streets of Queens, NY … Eugene is an ordained non-denom 45yo AI / analytics professional, comes from a dysfunctional blue-collar NJ family, husband of 12 years, father of a toddler, currently doing dreamwork, reading deep stuff, reviving his personal spirituality, and looking for a place to learn Judo and/or Wing Chun.
This is a brand new group and we enjoy new ideas… so there are no expectations and all suggestions are welcome.
