I KNEW THEN: INTENTIONAL MEN is a brotherhood for men committed to showing up with intention, connecting authentically, and growing alongside other men through monthly curated experiences in

New York City.

 

In a world where men are more connected than ever through technology, many feel increasingly disconnected from themselves, their relationships, and one another.

 

Male loneliness and emotional disconnection continue to impact the well-being of men across our society.

​

Too many men are navigating stress, loneliness, pressure, and life transitions in isolation—with few spaces where they can simply show up as themselves.

 

We exist to change that.

 

This isn't therapy. This is brotherhood. This is intentional community.

​​

A space where men can slow down, reconnect with themselves, build genuine relationships,

and experience the kind of brotherhood that supports lasting growth.

​

Because belonging isn’t something you find.

It’s something you build.

Why INTENTIONAL MEN?

​

Many of us move through life on autopilot. We show up for work, family, and responsibilities, yet rarely pause to ask ourselves:

Am I living with intention?

Am I becoming the man I want to be?

 

Being intentional doesn't mean being perfect. It means choosing awareness over autopilot, connection over isolation, and growth over stagnation. It means striving to live in alignment with our values, relationships, and purpose—one decision at a time. 

​

INTENTIONAL MEN was created to give men a place to slow down, reflect, connect, and grow alongside one another. Through curated experiences and authentic community, we're addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing men today: emotional disconnection, and the need for genuine brotherhood. 

Because every man deserves a space to connect, grow, and belong. 

 

THE INTENTIONAL MEN EXPERIENCES:

​​​

Throughout the year, I KNEW THEN: INTENTIONAL MEN offers a variety of thoughtfully curated experiences designed to foster connection, personal growth, and community.

 

Some experiences are free and community-based, while others require registration and a participation fee to support facilitators, venues, materials, and the overall experience.

 

Every gathering is intentionally designed to help men reconnect—with themselves and with another.

​

Every experience includes:

​

• A welcoming community atmosphere

• An intentional opening reflection

• A curated wellness, cultural, or personal growth experience

• Guided opportunities for conversation and connection

• A closing reflection to help integrate the experience

​

Attend the experiences that resonate with you. Each gathering is an opportunity to connect, grow, and belong alongside a community of intentional men.

​

​

EXPERIENCES MAY INCLUDE:

​

• Wellness and movement experiences

• Creative and cultural experiences

• Community gatherings and social connection

• Personal growth and leadership experiences

• Opportunities to build meaningful relationships with other men

​

​

THIS IS FOR MEN WHO ARE READY TO:

​​​​​

• Live with greater intention

• Build meaningful relationships

• Move beyond surface-level connection

• Invest in their personal growth

• Prioritize emotional wellness 

• Experience genuine brotherhood

​

THE INTENTIONAL MEN PLEDGE:

​

As an Intentional Man, I commit to living with intention, treating others with dignity and respect, and investing in my personal growth.

 

I will show up authentically, listen openly, and support my brothers in their journeys without judgment or comparison.

 

I recognize that brotherhood is not given—it is built. It is built through consistency, vulnerability, and the courage to show up first for myself, then for others, and for our shared experience.

 

I understand that my presence matters. Through my actions, I commit to helping create a community where every man feels seen, valued, and connected.

​

Together, we create a community where every man feels seen, valued, supported, and connected.

 

I show up. I do the work. I build the brotherhood.
