I joined the group in June 2022 looking for guy friends. It has always been a struggle of mine to make male friends and be truly open and honest with them. I was a little apprehensive when I first signed up, but I decided to make the leap because of the advice: ‘If it scares you, go do it’.

It has been a very welcoming organization, and the guys have been incredibly supportive. Even though our weekly check-ins are on Zoom, I look forward to them every Tuesday night; they have really changed the direction of my life over the last year.

Getting together for the retreat and spending an extended period of time with guys who are on the same personal journey was powerful. It allowed me to share what I’m thinking and feeling, and I realized we have much more in common and more support than we even know. Being able to sit down, eat together, and get one-on-one time beyond the formal sessions was a great opportunity to share additional experiences. I am extremely happy I found this group and can continue to grow with them.
