Why men?

We can all use help finding our way from time to time - men are no different. Men need the support of one another, to be honest, and real about life. Through small group discussions, contemplative practice, men are encouraged to know themselves, listen to the still small voice, and to honor their souls. The result could change lives and lead to a whole new world.
