TGOM is an opportunity to disconnect from the noise of the modern world. A place where you can reconnect to nature and remember who you truly are without all the labels, rules and regulations of society. It has been created to offer men from all walks of life a space to reset their nervous systems to the correct setting. TGOM is where a man can reflect on his life, expand his capacity for responsbility, create deep bonds with other men and step fully into the next season of manhood. At its core, TGOM is an embodied prayer. A prayer that every man remembers his innate power and cultivates the skills required to serve humanity in a way that only a man can do.When you strip away the labels, the trophies, the possessions, & the money - At our core, We are all men. Together we share the responsbility of building a healthy, resilient culture of masculinity that can serve all humans right now and for generations to come.

Most of our information sources have been poisoned. What was once a reliable source has been destroyed through ongoing contamination. What was once celebrated as pure is now seen as toxic and unnecessary.

But just like water sustains life, Masculinity sustains culture.

Without it we become lost in comfort, we lose ourselves indulging in convenience. The result is lonely men who have been isolated through the likes of packaged foods, work-from-home initiatives, video games and pornography.

We have been set up to live numb, unfulfilled and passive lives. This is not OK.

So as Men, it is our duty to redefine what it means to be a man. News stations, Universities, Social media, Politicians, Women, Children, ChatGPT - none of these have the ability to define what a man is.

We as men must cultivate a deep connection with ourselves, with each other and with nature to reveal the true essence of man and then let our intentions, thoughts, and actions be the determining factor that defines what a man truly is. We embody the truth and bring it through in our service to humanity. This is how we redefine what it means to be a man. In a society that has labelled masculinity toxic, it is our sacred duty to uphold the values of manhood and stand against anything that does not recognise and respect the essential gift that men bring to the world.TGOM is the convergence of men's communities. It is a united front where we as men can deepen our roots and grow in service to the collective.

The Gathering of Men is a 4 day immersion for men to challenge themselves, cultivate masculinity, & connect as a brotherhood..

There are a variety of activities at TGOM.
