Modern Masculinity

The rules of the game have changed.

Modern men are looking for purpose, what defines success as a man, and what they need to know in these changing times.

Modern masculinity has not only come under fire, but men everywhere are being asked to grow, shift, and evolve. But what does that mean? What parts of masculinity aren"t serving us anymore? How do we even define masculinity? What do we as men need to know? And what are women wanting from men in modern day times?

Join us for an in depth event and conversation about modern masculinity.

You"ll hear the stories of 3 men who have lived incredible lives and are going to share their perspective with you. You"ll also get a chance to meet some incredible people from your city and engage in a thought provoking conversation about what it means to be a man today.
