tHE YARD: A MENS SOCIAL
INTENTIONAL CONNECTION IN THE SPIRIT OF THE HEALTHY MASCULINE
The yard social is a continuance of the light spirited Men in the backyard series that was such a successful opportunity for men to connect. The name has changed as all things do, but the spirit and intention remain similar.
I don’t believe Men have enough opportunities to connect at depth with other Men in their communities. We tend to gather and connect in containers that may not always be serving our highest self. From my own experience, I needed to tune into something different for myself to feel a balanced well being within me. That came from exploring spaces with other Men that would support the elevation of who I wanted to be, not bring me back down. What I also found was that some of these intentional spaces could feel heavy, which is where the idea of these events grew from. I believed that we could connect and support each other in ways that didn’t leave us feeling heavy and emotionally drained afterwards. That’s where the fire, play and the sauna inject themselves. These modules help keep things light in the process of community and collective growth.
