“ am a former Marine and a combat Veteran with PTSD and mental and physical injuries. I am also a husband, father, son, brother and friend. Journeymen allowed me to find joy in the beautiful things and facilitates important human connections that allowed me to put down the burdens of grief and guilt. Journeymen is a family of brothers whose only goal is to build each other up and make each other better men. I have gathered with Journeymen in the mountains, in the city, at each other’s homes and monthly on Zoom. There are no political, religious or economic elements of Journeymen. The only measure of success in Journeymen is service to each other, to our community and to our loved ones. Journeymen calls together men who want to create goodness in their communities and make safe spaces for all beliefs and ideas.”

“My experience with Journeymen is a continuous exploration of magic in connection to others. Each time we get together as a group I meet someone or learn something that significantly enhances my experience of life. It’s hard to fully encapsulate in words, but I feel it is a representation of what is possible when men with kind hearts and curious minds come together to support each other through this process of living.”

“As a wife, I’ve seen so many benefits of Journeymen in our family’s life. It’s hard to put into words, but one of the biggest things is that we feel more supported during hard times. My husband has a reliable and consistent resource outside our home—something that’s especially important during this intense middle phase of life, where everything feels like a lot: raising kids, career stress, aging parents. Our home can often feel like a pressure cooker, and having that outside grounding support has been a huge asset.  When asked HE is asked what he's most grateful for, the first thing he always says is his men’s group. I think over time—through a mix of aging and men’s work—he’s developed a much healthier sense of self. His ego feels more grounded, and he’s found a real sense of purpose by showing up for others. That’s such a deep human need—to feel like you matter and that you’re contributing—and I’ve watched that grow in him. Day to day, I know he’s regularly connecting with other guys from the group. Whether it’s about work, skiing, personal stuff—those heart-level conversations are so important. My Husband  has tried one-on-one therapy in the past, and while it was helpful in the short term, it never really stuck. But men's work has—it’s something he’s truly committed to. I honestly believe traditional talk therapy isn’t always built with men in mind. Group work, and especially something like Journeymen, offers a structure and purpose that resonates more deeply for certain personalities. We’re still in a very full season of life, and it often feels overwhelming. Having Journeymen as a resource outside the home makes a real difference. It supports him, but in turn, it supports all of us.”
