The realness you needed
The Gatherings are meant for men who want realness & brothers who match it. To have the conversation that matter & keep showing up for it.
Show up for the work, bring it back to where it matters
Good friends don't guarantee the real conversations when you need it or have the skills to help you through it. What's often lacking is creating dedicated time to sit with what's authentic and alive & often we meet under a cup of coffee or a quick chat. Little time, space & attention. While the majority of men want to show up in realness.
That's what a Gathering is.
A dedicated moment to sit in circle with other men. We check in with ourselves and the group truthfully. We give space to those present with whatever is alive. Heavy or light, fire or calmness. We're there to leave the mask at the door and show up as we are.
You speak something out loud that you've been carrying alone and it gets lighter. You hear a brother name something you've never been able to put into words and suddenly you're not the only one.
That shift follows you home. You'll have the conversations you've been avoiding. You'll show up differently for your partner, your kids or your work. The circle is the container. Your life is where you bring it.
For the man who wants to sit consistently with the same brothers every month, that's what our membership is. No more starting from scratch. They know you, you know them. You pick up where you left off and go deeper over time.
Three things that move the needle.
Finding out if we're a fit
For the sake of us both, clarity is key.
This is for you if…
You're tired of carrying it alone and ready to be witnessed by men.
You want bonds with men who know your story, not just your name.
You're willing to sit with discomfort instead of numbing it.
You see this as an ongoing practice, not a one-time fix.
You're ready to show up as you are, without the mask.
This isn’t for you if…
You're looking for quick advice or a five-step fix.
You want to watch from the sidelines without taking part.
You're not willing to be honest, even when it's uncomfortable.
You need therapy or crisis support right now.
You're here to perform, impress, or prove something.

What Gathering members say.
J.
ATTENDS OPEN GATHERINGS
"It was my first circle ever and it was really refreshing to see how open everyone was from the minute we started. The energy was great, safe and at the same time inviting ourselves to go deeper. I felt seen and appreciated for my presence and I'm really looking forward to the next gathering."
T.
GATHERINGS MEMBERSHIP
"Yesterday I sat in circle again after quite some time. Sharing my story again. Not needing to do it alone anymore. I felt the fear and shame beforehand but it felt so much easier and lighter. And today I feel so much lighter again. The gathering of men, my brothers and my facilitators have played a massive part in my growth."
B.
GATHERINGS MEMBERSHIP
"I had been feeling fragile and heavy for days over a conversation I had with my girlfriend. When I started expressing this at the gathering I felt myself getting lighter and lighter."
P.
ATTENDED OPEN GATHERING
"Opening up about some intrusive dark thoughts which I felt very ashamed of. But remembering I'm not these thoughts and sharing it in the space while hearing recognition felt like such a relief."
N.
GATHERINGS MEMBERSHIP
"I noticed that I felt lonely last weeks, being a dad of two little girls trying to set up a business and at the same time working for a corporate company takes a lot of time so my social life is like shit. Looking forward to building some new brotherships."
Frank
GATHERINGS MEMBERSHIP
"I always love to go and when I'm at the Gathering I always pick something up that gets me more grounded and acts like a mirror. So good when I am surrounded by like minded men that are becoming more and more conscious, open, honest and supportive."
S.
ATTENDS OPEN GATHERING
"With the circle experience still fresh in my system I decided to talk to her. We talked about it and I'm noticing a big difference in our connection. It feels like things are synching up. Later that day she told me she is proud that I'm committing to men's work. I'm glad I showed up."
J.
ATTENDS OPEN GATHERING
"Just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. It was once again so powerful. It made me realize that we're not alone in this, and that we all do the work in our own worlds and come together to strengthen our connection with ourselves and each other. I'm so blessed to have found the Gathering of Men."

ATTENDS OPEN GATHERING
"Just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. It was once again so powerful. It made me realize that we're not alone in this, and that we all do the work in our own worlds and come together to strengthen our connection with ourselves and each other. I'm so blessed to have found the Gathering of Men."

GATHERINGS MEMBERSHIP
"Thanks for yesterday's circle guys. I feel blessed to have an environment that supports my growth. Its sometimes uncomfortable as things come up that are usually hidden and I have to act on it. With those releases I notice tiredness comes with it but more importantly I feel more space in my body."
Yves van Veen
Facilitator & Business Trainer
"I feel more at home with my own authenticity, more at home with other men, and I now have tools to guide groups in a way that resonates with my values, style and story."
Frans Korpershoek
Men's Work Facilitator
"Taking part in the Facilitator's Initiation has transformed me. It brought up insecurities and at the same time compassion and space to deal with them. I also experienced the power of brotherhood on a new level."
Justin van Loon
Men's Work Facilitator & Coach
"It all starts with oneself. The course offered much more than just teaching skills. It taught me how to live a meaningful and true life, in service."
Tommy van der Wal
Men's Work Facilitator
"Kwaliteit, puur, authentiek, krachtig. I embraced my authentic power more. And I now have more compassion for myself. Underrated."
Santino Koopmanschap
Coach & Trainer
"Underpromised and overdelivered for me. Faith. Trust. Confidence. A huge sense of purpose. Old patterns broken."
Koen Schoonus
Former ceo
"This initiation is much more than learning how to hold a group. This is all about learning how to know and hold yourself first, so you can become a safe space for growth."
Justin Hogenbrik
attended facilitator's initiation
"I can tell this has provided a deep shift in consciousness, especially if I can continue integrating."
"All the moments where direct feedback was given with love and a belief in potential made every exercise more deep and full of lessons."
Michiel van Roermund
Podcaster
"It will change the way you view yourself, friendships and other relationships for the rest of your life."
Jaring Brunia
ENTREPRENEUR/FACILITATOR
"I became more confident, more myself. My need to prove myself disappeared. I learned to speak what I feel even when it's uncomfortable"
Olivier de Waal
