The walk - Men's Journey

Let's walk this journey together

We believe that every man needs a tribe to learn from other men who reflect and inspire on life themes such as work, relationships, and health. On the other hand, a tribe serves as a sounding board for sparring when you or another man is struggling or wants to open his heart in a safe environment.

We walk on a weekly basis in various locations across the Netherlands. Think of it as a workout class, but instead, it’s a chance to share what’s on your mind or to be there for other men. This fosters connection and trust, creating a safe environment with authentic individuals who keep each other on their toes.

There is room for depth and vulnerability, but also plenty of humor and lightheartedness! We use a unique concept where you learn how to listen effectively, set your boundaries, and take up more or less space as needed.

No obligation, just motivation.

With us, you can join whenever you want. However, we do ask you to come as often as possible.

You’re doing this not just for yourself, but also for the other men.

If you feel the need to explore certain themes in greater depth, you can join our in-depth events.

Use each other as a mirror

Our tribe consists of men from diverse backgrounds and of all ages. With some, you’ll connect instantly, while others might feel a bit confronting—and vice versa 😉.

Often, these men reflect something in you that you can face (your shadow). This is something that tends to happen less often in your own circle of friends, as they are people who are similar to you and don’t want to hurt you.

We invite you to always stay curious and show respect for all the men in the tribe. Also, check out our standards.

Sometimes feeling down but not knowing why.

Standards of our tribe

Authenticity

Be authentic and true to yourself. This is essential for self-discovery and showing vulnerability. Recognize your own bullshit.

Commitment

Show courage by being present, even when it gets tough. Keep your commitments and stay true to your values and identity.

Clarity

Encourage clarity in communication. If someone is unclear, ask questions. This ensures transparency and understanding within the group.

Unsolicited advice

We believe in the inner strength of every man to find his own solutions. Don’t offer unsolicited advice; always ask for permission before giving advice or asking a question.

Shared leadership

In our group, no one is the specific leader; we are all leaders. We embrace equality, and everyone’s voice is treated with respect.

No gossip

Speak directly to someone if you have an issue, rather than talking about them within or outside the group. This promotes direct communication and prevents gossip.

Don't judge

Only share your opinion when it is asked for. In all other cases, we listen without judgment, creating a space where everyone can feel vulnerable and authentic.

Safety

What is shared within the group stays within the group. We respect and safeguard each other's stories, secrets, and experiences.

Less ratio

We recognize that our heart provides essential insights. We aim to act less from our intellect and more from our heart.

Why Men's Journey?

In today’s society, many men feel stuck and struggle to connect with their emotions and deal with feelings effectively.

Society often encourages solving problems independently, which can lead men to believe they cannot share their emotions with other men. As a result, many men walk around with depression or sadness because they suppress (or “depress”) their feelings.

This often causes men to feel that friendships and relationships lack depth, leading many to escape into alcohol, social media, drugs, excessive work, or sports, always keeping themselves “busy.” On paper, life may seem perfect, but deep down, something feels missing.

Additionally, in today’s world, we have many roles to fulfill (partner, father, son, friend, entrepreneur, etc.) and often find ourselves questioning what kind of man we truly want to be.
