INTENTIONAL MEN.png

Connect. Grow. Belong.

A brotherhood for connection, growth, and real-world belonging.

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.

 

We are living in a time where men are more connected than ever—yet many feel increasingly disconnected from themselves, their communities, and one another.

 

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

 

We exist to change that.

 

This isn't therapy. This is brotherhood.

A space where belonging is not something you find. It’s something you build.

 

A space where men show up with intention, build meaningful relationships, and grow alongside one another through shared experiences.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

This July, I KNEW THEN: INTENTIONAL MEN kicks-off in New York City—beginning with one curated experience designed to bring men together in a way most spaces never do.  

 

Each month, one intentional gathering. Curated with purpose. Designed to foster genuine connection, personal growth and real brotherhood.

 

From movement and wellness experiences to cultural outings, creative workshops, and community gatherings, every experience includes:

 

• An intentional arrival reflection

• The experience itself

• A closing reflection and opportunity for connection

 

Attend the experiences that resonate with you. Each gathering is an opportunity to connect, grow, and strengthen brotherhood.

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:

  • Show up with intention

  • Build meaningful relationships

  • Move beyond surface-level connection

  • Invest in their personal growth

  • Be part of something real

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.

 

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