Men's Hike and Lunch at Mount Tam
Gents!
You’re invited to a Sunday morning outdoor excursion — a chance to celebrate the incredible men in our city, hike in nature, and connect meaningfully through curated conversations.
There's something that happens when men move together without an agenda, when breath finds rhythm. When the nervous system remembers what safety feels like.
This isn't therapy. It's not networking. It's not performance. It's what your body has been asking for -- movement and connection.
Come meet other like-minded men and experience the magic of positive masculinity and brotherhood! 💛
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
This gathering is for men who know something is missing and want more. Men who know they have a voice somewhere and are ready to find it.
Bring water, comfortable hiking shoes, a hat and sunscreen, a packed lunch.
We'll meet in Mill Valley, CA. The exact trailhead and directions will be sent to you after you register.
The hike is moderate and meant for connection, not competition. We move at a pace that allows for breath, presence, and real conversation.
After the hike, we will gather here for lunch. If you can't make the hike, join us for lunch. Bring your own lunch for our community meal.
Feel free to invite male friends in SF who’ve modeled positive masculinity in your life 💛
Once you register, we’ll send you detailed directions and all the information you need to know. We’re looking forward to seeing you.
If you need a ride, join the list and we'll try to find you a carpool spot!
