INSIGHT.CULTURE.PASSION
We believe that every man desires a personal center that spreads beyond his personal sphere. Social norms have changed and continue to change. Each generation, each culture, each ethnicity, each class possesses different ideas of what constitutes manhood, and oftentimes those differing ideas seem to have nothing to do with each other.
We believe that honorable social interactions naturally ground us in a sense of community and that community creates the support we need to express ourselves truthfully.
MEN FACE UNIQUE PERSONAL CHALLENGES IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
Men’s Edge has a vision of diverse men finding their authentic selves through the practice of social connection that does not distract us from reality. We recognize ourselves in others and thereby develop a natural sense of compassion, honor and mutual respect.
Men’s Edge does not seek to dictate what any man should or should not enjoy, but the distractions we eliminate include alcohol, drugs, spectator sports, and traditional dating/mating rituals. Our objective is to interact honestly, clearly and respectfully about what is true for each of us, to see the commonality and respect the differences that make each of us unique.
Men’s Edge is not a religious organization, nor is it a 12-step or recovery group. We do not espouse any particular political position. We have a simple philosophy: men want to experience connection with other men and can find meaning in a sense of community with other men, eliminate much of the interference preventing us from accepting who we really are, and learn to feel safe to be who we really are.
